Ruben;
You illuminate the problem very well; however I don’t see that you have offered any reasonable solution to the problem here. How else are we to get the problem of border security under control, in your opinion? John McCain didn’t create the problem of illegal immigration, but you can bet your last 50 centavo piece he’ll get blamed for all manner of ills in Mexico if he does manage to secure the border. I saw a news story on TV recently where the Mexican government was crying about what to do with all those returned deportees, when in actuality they are probably more concerned about the loss of all those US dollar remittances earned here and sent back home each month.
I also live in a near border area in Texas, and it’s not just lettuce pickers we worry about, my friend, it’s the drug runners and car thieves, combined with riffraff of the lowest sort running around and stealing any thing not nailed down. It is a huge problem around here. Mexico is not sending us their best.

Please do not misunderstand me, I’m not against immigration, in fact I am married to an immigrant, but we did it the legal way, the approved way, the official smiled upon way. My wife didn’t sneak across a poorly secured border in the dead of night. Now, if you want to get me into a rant about how legal immigrants are treated by those idjits at USCIS… Well, that’s a subject for another post.
Good luck on your quest for open borders, however I, for one, am against it.
