...there's no Mediterranean sea between the US and Mexico that would make it much more difficult for illegal immigrants to swim their way across the border

They have the Rio Grande, Gus! LOL

On a slightly different note, IMO the boarders in the Americas including but not limited to the Mexican/US boarder will eventually (have to) open up. Come on, the differences between the guys north and south of the Mexican/US boarder are not that big. The similarities are greater as a matter of fact! Take a look at the Ireland economy for an example, they are keeping their boarders open for all kind of "strange foreigners" from eastern Europe and elsewhere and their economy is just bouncing on, creating a lot of new opportunities for their local Irish. As a matter of fact, my son (Swedish, spent a year at Apple in Cork) informed me, that only Irish nationals have a chance to make a career in upper management even in US corporations in Ireland.

Just imagine a similar solution between Mexico and the USA. Not such a bad deal IMO. The US is slowly becoming the next "Status Quo" country besides Germany...

RE:"I've read that some congressmen want to criminalize both illegal entry into the US and US citizens who facilitate it in one way or another (hiring or sheltering illegals, eg)."

It's already against the law. I guess enforcing the law criminalizes it. Jeez.
