Doesn't matter.
The free market decides how many people cross. Its simple math.

You are correct, sir, only it's "the market" not "the free market" because the current market conditions are far from free. It would be "free" (or at least "free-er") if there was no welfare state and no minimum wage laws. You can have a welfare state with closed borders, or no welfare state with open borders. You can't have both.

I'm pretty ignorant about the details of Reagan's amnesty but wasn't the agreement to allow amnesty in exchange for strengthening the border with the latter never occurring?
Pretty sure you answered your own question. Amnesty would prbly have been alright if more people would not have come in. Illegal immigration will be an issue as long as there are illegal immigrants.
currently, i don't know of a viable solution that would not include a track for allowing illegals to become citizens and would not include a way to prevent more illegals from coming in.
If it doesn't have both components, i dont think we are really fixing the problem. Unless you cut off the reason the are coming, $, and that would seem to be pretty difficult.

I thought you were the big Global Warming guy on the board? You want more people coming here using more resources? Driving more cars, paving more roads and parking lots, building more houses, using more energy?
There are no more resources to support the populations in their country so they are coming here. To boot they get free healthcare, school and food.
