The problem with the Mexican border is that it is so huge and so porous. Controlling it to any degree of efficiency would be an enormous undertaking.

The policy choice is a tough one, too. Control the border in any kind of effective fashion, and the social pressure cooker in Mexico starts heating up. And believe me, there are social pressures galore down there which illegal migration to the US relieves.

Do we want to promote the potential election of a truly leftist government by doing away with the illegals? Do want to sink the Mexican economy by shutting off the enormous infusion of cash provided by the undocumented? Do we want the Mexican government to retaliate by making the drug trade a lot easier to conduct?
