The first thing we should do is shut the border with Mexico (shut off the faucet). Once that is done then it would be time to figure out what to do with the 10 million that are here. To discuss their status, e.g., citizenship for military service or paying restitution, before the border is secured is futile.

About paying Iraqis thousands of dollars in order to avoid war, I don't follow the logic. How would paying Iraqis increase our national security such that invasion would not have been necessary?

I remember a phactoid on the Iraq war. If we gave every Iraqi $10K (cost to date - or $40k projected $1T tally) we could have avoided all this bloodshed.

If we didnt go to war, we couldve given $20K to every II and sent them home.

Savage Nation reported that latino voting bloc was 3% in the last election (taken with some salt). There is more to the pandering than latino votes.

One can argue that there is a need for 10 million plebian workers to avoid economic imbalance. This ever-growing work force is stemming inflation in one arena and creating it in others. The victims are state govts in healthcare and education costs - which "trickles down" to Joe taxpayer.

We can pay to keep them in or pay to keep them out - in either case we pay.

Then again I dont think our representatives are thinking all that much into it. Offer amnesty for military service, theyve been quietly doing that for years with legal immigrants.
