If you think I am "blaming" the US, you are full of it. I am saying that we need these people. We are a country of immigrants. Some very hard working people want to come into our country to fill the need for manual laborers that we don't have because our manual laborers are too lazy and work too slow to do the job.
If you think that our current immigration laws are adequate, then you are in a small minority.
To make it clear. Illegal is illegal. I agree with that. However, we need to change our laws to have a reasonable work VISA policy. This turn away and wink policy is stupid, and clearly is not working. I am not talking about the problem that is already here. As to that problem, there really is no good solution I can think of.
So, again, the problem I have with your thinking is that you don't want to come up with a reasonable work VISA policy for future immigrants until Mexico reciprocates. I believe we should come up with a reasonable work VISA policy because we are a resonable people, not in reaction to what Mexico does. If we wait until Mexico becomes reasonable, we will be waiting forever.
It is unreasonable to be unreasonable just because somebody else is being unreasonable.
