re: What do you want to see happen with immigration?

I don't necessarily mean an Israel/West Bank type of border. Possibly more dedicated drone surveillance and increased patrols. The fence is probably not feasible and can be undermined easily. Basically, we would just have to decided to spend more money on it.

In my opinion, doing things like securing the border is emphatically a role of the government and a valid use of tax dollars. I would support more spending in this area if it proves effective.

Understood. There is more we can do to better control and monitor traffic across the border, but secure is secure. And not secure is not secure. If we've learned anything from economic history it is that goods and services will find their way to markets where there's demand. There is a demand for cheap, hardworking, Mexicano labor in this country. Barring a true fortification of the border, it will make its way here.

But we're just jerking off here, because our trade relationship with Mexico is worth half a trillion dollars annually. That requires a freedom of movement that is going to preclude anything resembling a "secure" border.

What are you views on an amendment overhauling the 14th? I honestly think the demographic shift is already too dramatic to reverse, but is it still worth considering?
