Simply put, a man or woma attempts the seemingly impossible to find a better life, or at least the pursuit of happiness, to know their hardships, is to know their life and not be ignorant of their dreams. They start the journey from the poverty of their country, or running from genocide, crossing rivers and braving desert heat looking for the small opening and people that care to help them succeed. Then when they are found in violation, they are sent back into what they fought so hard to escape from, only to be forced to attempt the journey again and there is the sad reality of those who have to continue to live in poverty and lack of medical care waiting for those that do journey to find help for their loved ones. That in and of itself is inhumane. The US. needs to develop a plan to help those that seek escape find hope within their own country, we spend billions of dollars on this illegal immigrant circle, which could be better spent on our own poverty and low class Americans. We will spend in any case, so why not start a plan with Mexico to create jobs and housing in Mexico, say Baja, that will give hope to illegals and the will to stay in their country.

I understand your point and i added genocide as just a reason for illegal immigration, not as a reason for flight from mexico.
The laws are in place, it is the government and their fight with state politicians and their refusal to impliment them, my idea was an alternative to another civil war, but there is also the border to contend with, which the federal gov. should annex by eminant domain up to a 1/2 mile strip from the pacific to the gulf, then secure it with natl guard, this will remove the constraints of the state politicians and their refusal to enforce the laws. as a world leader, the US has a moral responcibility to help those in need, to just drop and forget, then say it is not our problem is not the voice of a free and democratic country. The criminal element will have to be weeded out for the sake of those seeking a better life for their families, etc.that element will always be involved in any plan, or any immigration, illegal or not, so i did not feel it was nessesary to state the obvious. If a plan is developed to start a community in Mexico for these people, then it should at least be governed by US or the UN and the trade of land for a debt that we know mexico will never pay is the best way to guarentee its success without interfearance from the greedy in Mexico city. You are right to want illegals out of the US, and yes that would help many fellow Americans and the economy, but humanity dictates that we also help them find a place, if it is possible and try until all avenues are exhausted. Only then can we say, we tried everything.

The fix is round up all the illegals, (President Eisenhour did it in the 1950's) give them a gun and turn them around point them back ot mexico city and tell them to take care of their problem. Then line the border with the nat guard while the fence is being built with automated 50 cal machine guns that fires on anything that moves. Tell them they are welcome to step in line for legal immigration. and enforce the laws of reading, writing, and speaking english.

Thanks for the praise, but remember, it should not just be me, everyone should contribute, weed out the faults and make the solution better....
