I have heard a countless suggestions regarding immigration.  Some good.  Some bad.  Some bright.  Some not so bright.  I have my own ideas too.

I get to see much of the damage, that is related to criminal immigration, first hand.  I have also had to deal with an unpredictable system that is difficult to understand and beleaguered by incompetence.   I still contend however that a messed up legal immigration system is not that big of a problem.  It could be fixed quickly.  Criminal immigration is the source of all kinds of problems.  But, the magnitude of those problems could be controlled without a single new law.  Because even criminal immigration is the symptom of a larger problem:  Border Security.

Since March 9, 1916, our border with Mexico has been a problem we have failed to deal with effectively.

I contend that securing our border with Mexico would make many related problems insignificant.
