In my career I have worked with dozens of Mexicans both here and in Mexico and have been impressed with their abilities and work ethic. But there is something very wrong here. Something like 10% of the Mexican population is in the USA illegally and from what I have read that number is increasing dramatically. I think that there are other ways to control this then just building a fence but it is at least a start in trying to control the problem.
I would also like to see very heavy fines and jail time for employers who hire illegals and no amnesty for those who break our laws to come here or amnesty for those who hire them.
