The cost of trying to stop illegal immigrants into America runs into hundreds of millions of dollars. Is it worth it? If the floodgates were opened at first ther would be an almighty rush but after a while an equilibrium would ensue & perhaps a benefit will follow.

wow- I'm pretty liberal, but what a risky move!
I think about the threats to national security because it's easier to get into Mexico. I think about drugs and other crime getting worse through illegal trafficing over the border.
I wonder

Yes you are right an equilibrium would follow because the standard of living would be the same in both countries. People living in cardboard shacks.
Personally forget about a wall. Put landmines along the border and razor wire in between the landmines. Try to create it so wild animals like deer and rabbits don't get hurt.

IS THIS.The government is not doing their job that is why mexicans GET THRU.They are supposed to shoot them on SIGHT(i don't like it but if it work they get THE MESSAGE).THEY CAN GET A PASSPORT AND WAIT 3or4 MONTHS UNLESS THEY ALREADY IN TROUBLE.AND WHEN THEY PASS THE BORDER THEY ARE FUGITIVES!!!They get healthcare and all these benefiits AND DIDNT PAY A DIME FOR IT SO AMERICANS WHO DID GET LEFT HOMELESS AND STARVE AND GO TO SALVATION ARMY!!! Well i have mexicans friends and i dont think they were illigal,so i dont like the subject.WHAT THE GOV should do (the gov dont do sh*t go to New Orleans i went last summer with my church it still looks like CRAP and breaks UR HEART)they should kick the mexicans out, then get all the americans jobs and homes and wellcare and benefits and all that THEN let THE LEGAL ONES BACK IN!!!

No...I know that America is a melting pot and it should stay that way but do it legally. I think that the US should uphold the Monroe Doctrine and take care of ourselves and the Western Hemisphere before worrying about anyone else. I do not think that letting them in will help the US economy...I think that if we do keep them out it will raise the US economy and make for more jobs for Americans.

Simple answer, yes. We already have a free trade agreement with mexico. It would be much easier and safer for immigrants to pass through the border stations legally. It would be far cheaper to document who crosses the border and when they cross. If people really wish to immigrate, they should be allowed to. We are a nation of immigrants.

No, you are as wrong as the day is long. If we keep the illegals out with a fence, then more jobs will open up for regular Americans, putting more money in the US economy.

Absolutely no way. Just the cost of housing, feeding, and providing free medical services to these illegals runs in the billions of dollars.
Not to mention the crime that they bring with them.

I honestly think it would depend on how us law enforcement, the judicial system and the presidents of both countries handled it,,,like,,build mexico, and instill new laws ahead of time, put their armies on their borders, and some of ours too, etc.......you would have to tame the drug trade cartels, and the people to american law FIRST....that would take years, and change their school books, teach em english etc......
not to mention that we all need to learn spanish,so they cant talk ****

I think instead of taking over iraq, america should start closer to home. We should be helping Mexico build a better Mexico and they wouldn't want to come over here. Instead we decided to go blow up Iraq.
