Personally... its a short term solution to a long term problem. Illegal immigration is a problem and I don't think it cannot be solved by just a "fence." If the immigrants are desperate enough, then they will find a way to get into the U.S.
When I first moved to the US, I moved "illegally," and I'm Canadian... so how about a fence to stop Canadian Illegal Immigration, because I am sure that we are more educated and more adept to living in the US than some Mexican Illegal Immigrants.
As said in one of the articles... its a one size fits all solution. If a person is coming to the US looking for the "american dream" (becoming rich) then they should look elsewhere, but if a person just wants a better life for their family (more selfless), then I see no problem. Some of the best people/workers I have known are Mexican and there are a few people who are extremely lazy who would bitch about Mexican people being so motivated and I just wanted to slap them for their ignorance.
But hey... its the US building the fence... not Canada... so really what validation would my opinion hold?
