> My take on illegal immigration is simple. Build the wall.Post HUGE signs warning anyone approaching from the desert that deadly force is authorised. “Illegal immigrants will be shot.Survivors will be shot again.”

Sonnabend: Your plan is a fantasy. And ugly one. Like Kender, you think only Mexicans cross the border. But more US citizens cross it than Mexicans each day. And over a half a billion people cross each day legally. So your plan is a joke, and besides any US troops worth having aren’t going to sigh up to have a chance to shoot US citizens.

> It is not the business of the USA to help Mexico solve its internal problems.

So let’s get out of Iraq, pull our military advisors out of Colombia and their hardware, and all the other nations where we partner this way. The business of the US is wherever its interests lie, and a quelling a narco war on the border is in our interests. Just ask Brownsville, McAllen, Laredo, or El Paso.

> It is not the fault of the US if Mexico is singularly and pathologically unable to hold a simple election without it turning into a three ring circus.

You’re misinformed. The last election was closer than our 2000 debacle and they pulled it off quite well by all accounts and international standards. andthey rejected the leftist candidate who holds views your ilk claim all Mexicans hold. Obviously they don’t.

> treat them according to Mexican law on immigration. Judge them using Mexican law. Sentence them accordingly. I gaurantee you they will stop coming. Sauce for the goose, methinks?

Mexican law has changed just now. They do not treat illegal immigrants as criminals anymore.
