Border control issues aside, I'm not sure about closing the borders. Look, most of the illegal immigrants are not doing jobs that most people want to do. But beyond that, they really want to be here. They want a better life. I have a hard time turning away a group of people who cobbled together a boat to get through choppy waters when so many Americans take everything that they have for granted. Can we just trade some of them?
I do find it amusing that Gov. Schwarzenegger is pushing hard for closed borders. Yes, California has quite a few problems financially due to illegal immigrants, but you would think an immigrant would be more sympathetic. Or at least less vocal.
