But then again, many of the enforcements that "work well for other countries" are allowed by their Constitutions, those that even have one. In other countries, armed "Deadly Force Authorized" border troops and "Papers Inspections" are routine. Is that what you want to open the door to?

So, on one hand, we flaunt ourselves as being enlightened by virtue of our Constitutional Republic...but then turn right around and wonder why we can't play the same playbook as corrupt Democracies, Dictatorships, Theocracies, and autocratic Governments?

Weird. And a little scary. Perhaps in the long run, Freedom just doesn't really work after all. It looks as though people would rather have security, as long as it's security from "those other guys".

Who was it that said one way to measure a country was by comparing the numbers of people trying to get in and people trying to get out? America is called "the land of opportunity" for a reason, and as compared to Mexico (unless you're already rather upper class) America still is a land of opportunity.

Show me a country that has a border that's crossable without special equipment (e.g. airplanes or large ships; rafts and the like are not special equipment though), has a significantly higher standard of living as experienced by regular people compared to its neighbor, and doesn't have an illegal immigration problem...and I'll show you either a country that has a way of getting people through channels easily on their way in or a fairy tale.
