The economic incentives that draw illegal immigrants here also have the effect of depleting Mexico of the people most likely to revolt and topple the status quo. Perhaps it's time to revise our deportation policies..... I propose that we screen our deportees for draftee/militia standards....and those males of draft age without criminal records be deported with appropriate weaponry....it would certainly be a lot cheaper than what we are currently doing...Vis a vis the free government benefits we keep shelling out for The real change that needs to be brought about by the pressure of closing the borders is to the corrupt and economically dysfunctional Mexican government.

I normally include a "wider gate" stance in my illegal immigration comments. Why I didn't in that post is beyond me. Thomas Friedman has said that his immigration is summed up as a "tall fence with a wide gate." That sums up mine as well. We need crack down on illegals in this country while also making it easier to <em>legally</em> immigrate. Excellent point. I normally include a “wider gate” stance in my illegal immigration comments.
