but how many fly into our airports and walk away each day. How many workers on ships do not return to duty once a ship get in a u.s. port Miniscule. You need papers in both cases. Impossible for the average mexican to get. If he has papers that good, he could come in legally, as those people do. On the other side, there is evidence that if the border was open, many would go back and forth, which they don't do now for fear of not getting back in. Also, I have no doubt that the inflow now depresses wages at the low end. The union leaders who opt for an open border are working against the best interest of their members. Of course, that is normal for union leaders. :>) Since it is obvious that we are not going to secure the borders in the near future, I think the best interm answer is a high-security SS card and strong employer inforcement. If they can't get jobs, they won't stay.
