You would need to "close" the border between all of the standard monitored entry points in order to halt the flood of last minute river runners that would begin immediately after the announcement of the new regulations.

Amnesty has proven to be an abysmal failure. Remember the Immigration Reform Act of 1986? Immigration is easy. Enforce the law. Pull ALL the carrots that bring them here illegally in the first place.
Hate to say it, but if they give illegals amnesty yet again, it will be really hard to "pledge allegiance to the flag". Let the deterioration of the greatest empire in the world begin.
Well- pledging allegiance to the flag is a symbolic thing- showing your sense of national pride. My sense of national pride does not extend to the current administration, nor do I pledge allegiance to them.
Because it's free- or because they're felons in Mexico- or because they don't want to wait for the process because they know that eventually they'll get....................... amnesty. Or- just because they can.
Hmmm. Illegal aliens= cancer, spreading freely into and throughout the body of the nation- until the body is overwhelmed by the cancer- and just gives in. Me likey that analogy.
I've been to Mexico a couple of times, damn hard working folks in general as I saw, just as I imagine most of them are up here. However, the other end of the teeter-totter is piled high with people who just come here to take advantage of our welfare state.
the immigration system is broken, corrupt and pardon my french just plain fucked up.
illegal immigrants are like electricity. they take the path of least resistance.
the people that want to become americans should be able to do so, ellis island style. make the lawful path to citizenship the easiest one to follow and they will do it.
you walk in, pass the medical check and citizenship test, prove you can habla enough english so that we don't have to waste money on translating all our govt services into your native tongue, take the oath and bingo, instant american.
a lot of the things folks say about mexican illegals being lazy and bad is very close to things folks used to say about irish back in 1903.
but along with opening the way up for citizenship, we have to close all other doors.
secure the border. bring home all our troops from korea and put them on the borders. no fences, just the might and the technology of the US army and a big, mean no man's land buffering our nations. kill all drug dealers on sight. no arresting, no processing. jeep coming across the border in BFE AZ gets a visit from the angry flying cross of God (A-10), or a Just Die Already Manuel.

when a naturalized citizen gets too many felonies, (hell, when any citizen gets too man felonies) revoke their citizenship and deport them someplace polar.
change the constitution so that you're only a natural born american citizen if one of your parents was.
and the only entrance to these "ellis islands" of the southwest is at the border, so if you're here illegally you have to leave the country to get there. fail the test and you go back out into mexico. one try every 30 days.
in the US, you get pulled over, don't speak a lick of english and can't prove you're here legally, well, out you go. bye bye, back to meh-hee-coh. wife's giving birth tomorrow? tough luck. grandma on death bed? better write a letter and hope she gets it before she kicks the cubeta.
get caught driving drunk, and it's your second time since you got deported last year... you get a red, white, and green pair of mukluks and off to el gran norte blanco you go.
make the penalties for violating the immigration law so swift and harsh, you'll have people lining up to do it right.
