Everybody seems eager to swallow another false choice proposed by the political class. There's no conflict between secure borders and getting rid of illegals on the one hand, and having cheap labor to perform "the jobs nobody else wants to do", and being open to the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
- Secure the borders;
- Set up a guest worker program for temporary workers;
- Expand and streamline the immigration process for people who want to become Americans and work for their and their kids future.
Anybody who says we can't kick out 15M illegals either doesn't know what they're talking about or simply doesn't have the balls to do it. Truman and Eisenhower each clamped down and got rid of over 10M illegals in about a year. Of course they both knew what they were doing and had a pair.
