Once immigrants could come to America on days notice. Now an immigrant must spend years just to get a visa. We solved the problem all right. Using MBA concepts also advocated by a certain American president, we added more layers of bureaucracy. Then we added more unreadable forms and more laws so that even immigrants need lawyers. Yeph. Problems solved.

Tw (you
idiot), your obsession with damning George W. Bush for everything including the Ice Ages again demonstrates how defective your mind is. You make cussing George look like something only the noncredible pusbrains will ever do, and thus you impair your own cause. Not that you can see this -- you have a singularly crippled mind and suffer from inappropriate mentation, which sounds like a symptom of mental illness to me. Idiot, idiot, thrice idiot. Get the hell back on your meds that you may once again think like a fully human being, and quit wearying us with your damned obsessions.
Now to topic: I figure that nothing done in Washington or the several States will have any perceptible effect on the "immigrant problem," which I put in quotes because it's not so much that
we have a problem with illegal immigration as that Latin America in general has a terrible economic problem: no middle class visible without powerful magnification. The problem seems most severe in Mexico and its neighbors down the Isthmus, less severe in Brazil, Argentina and Chile, with the other nations in the region falling somewhere in the middle.
Expect either a greater influx of Bolivians, or a revolution down there to throw that dumb socialist Evo Morales out of power. Left to his own devices, he will personally collapse the Bolivian economy and then maintain power surrounded by poverty by using secret police, death squads, and political imprisonment.
Measures taken north of the Rio Grande will not strike at the root of the problem, which is the only place longterm solutions will be effectuated: Mexico needs a middle class and hasn't got one, which makes for an artificially enlarged poor class, one with no way up except out. The problem is in Latin America, and Latin America is where it must be solved.
With a large, enriched, and vibrant middle economic class, Mexico becomes the
inmigrante magnet, and our problems are so much reduced as to be largely solved. Yeah, Mexico gets the problems instead, but too, the same reforms that work for Mexico will likely work for the other countries too; let libertarian reforms roll forward all the way to Tierra del Fuego. I keep telling the Cellar libertarians that this needs to happen -- they keep not understanding it.
