gymn juice: thoughtful comment, however, then you'll have people complaining about the price of food and service industries being too high because the laborers that do that kind of work are no longer around....but yes, we would have to worry about corruption and where the money went for sure. I do not think a wall is a answer either, since no walls have worked in the history of man, at least not forever.
I feel bad for these people, those who are TRULY running from crime and abuse or TRULY wanting to make a new start and a living. Then again, the other part of me thinks, "if you have to go to another country to support your wife and more importantly your kids (for those who have kids), then maybe you shouldn't have had kids!
I would love to know the mindset of the majority of these people, do they truly think nothing is wrong with what they are doing? do they truly expect ANOTHER COUNTRY AND IT'S PEOPLE to take care of them and because???
this is overlord: you brought up 1 state, 1 that being new mexico, I pointed out the entire south for a example...
