The Midwest's problem with immigration Why do some of the states least affected by illegal immigration care the most about stopping it?
If the Mexicans were the Huns coming in on horses from Central Asia, then the alarm bells should be sounded and the walls shut tight and manned. But they're not the Huns, they're our next-door neighbors, who are mainly in the bottom economic rungs, and are crossing the border to get away from their incurably corrupt Mexican govt. that is for the elite and fatcats only, and not rape and pillage, but to work. Thus the whole nativist approach is misguided. Why not realize that the 2K-mi. border is unsealable, but a 5.8K mi. border is, namely, the current Mexican coastline, after the U.S. finally accepts Mexicans' existence and shares the New World with them by accepting Mexico as several new states in return for dissolving their govt. and sending reps to Washington? Imagine a New California, New Arizona, New Texas, and New Florida, and study my bipartisan Megamerge Dissolution Solution proposal showing how it can be done. http://go.to/megamerge
