President after president (both parties), term after term have failed historically to arrest illegal immigration along our southern borders. Indifference has always prevailed.
The only real solution is for those aliens to prefer to remain in or return to their own country, to be free to prosper, in lieu of coming to America. A free market society is the key.
Mexico is a land of crony-corrupt corporate fascist capitalism, forcing most Mexicans to live in 12th century poverty. Consider that the richest man in the world is Mexican Carlos “Slim” HelĂș with his $74 billion gained primarily with state-protected monopolies. A true free market economy would enable Mexicans to eventually become prosperous in their own right and in their native country.
The next president could create a real legacy by undertaking two major initiatives for a start: (1) Institute a “Radio Free Mexico”, such as Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty that helped bring freedom to the Soviet bloc, using satellite TV and websites, which would teach free market and small business economics to the populace. And (2) in the interim while step (1) is being implemented and proving successful, use the National Guard, seriously armed and well trained, to secure the borders. Consider if drone strikes are so good at killing terrorists they should be pretty good at ferreting out and killing Mexican drug cartel leaders. The evil and brutal cartels must be eradicated or all is for naught!
Do we pressure the next regime or continue the hand-wringing? There exists those clandestine profiteers who advocate the latter.
