Without real immigration reform it makes the problem worse.
The spike in resident illegal aliens happened right after Ronnie got tough on the border without addressing all of the challenge.
Used to be a time that seasonal workers came over the border, picked the crops, then went back home.
When it became more difficult for them to get here they stopped going home.
Then they started bringing their families across.
Then we got anchor babies.
Then they needed something to do outside of harvest season so they got into landscaping and construction.
They set down roots.
Call it Cobra Effect, policy surprises, whatever we want but it's the result of linear thought without regard for reaction to initiatives.
This is why I'm against the wall.
I don't see that anyone has thought past "build it" or has considered the potential unintended consequences.
