The solution is to bring folks in legally, just like other free market and free nations do around the globe. Many EU nations welcome folks from abroad to enter their labor pools. But folks coming in have to meet some standards. They must find or have a job to stay. They must learn and demonstrate their ability to speak the language and they must pass basic tests of local laws, customs, etc. to stay. Why don’t we just adopt the same policy? Let folks come into our country and register with our national immigration authorities. Just like we are required to do on extended working stays in many nations in Europe and the Far East. Then set a timetable for the immigrants to establish a residence, get and hold a job and begin to pass initial tests of language as well as other necessities. And if they don’t adhere, show them the door and limit their return for some set amount of time.

AS much as I hate it, I agree with AS! A fence won't work. The Great Wall didn't work in China either. Crossings went down in San Diego, but way UP in the eastern desert and in AZ. I lived in SD when they built the wall. The Chinese didn't build the Great Wall for naught. All physical barriers can be traversed. However, its also a psychological barrier for both sides. Having said that, its going to take everything to stop the flow.......walls, INS guards, employer fines, immigrant roundups etc........to eliminate the problem. This weekend I was reading the letters to the editor on this subject in the local paper. I was amazed at how many 'liberals' want a strong crackdown.
