Mexicans will keep coming as long as Mexico stays "poor" & families can't support themselves there. No wall, gate, fence, moat, etc. is going to keep them away from pursuing a better life. Instead of working against Mexico, & sealing ourselves off one of the few allies we have left, we should work w/ them to fix this. (It's not just our border!)
The only way to keep Mexicans in Mexico is to help stabilize Mexico enough to where they can find a job that pays enough to live. If we're helping countries get rid of corrupt gov'ts and "restoring democracy", why not our neighbor? You know, just like they claim to be doing in Iraq. How can we prosper as a country, when our neighbor is in such bad shape?
Anyway, we'd be better off in the long run, if we spent the fence money investing in businesses so they have reason to stay & work there. Nobody wants to pay for others' misfortunes, but eventually we'd all benefit. We didn't screw Iraq up either, yet we're there "rebuilding" & paying for it.
