U.S.-Mexico border: What are your solutions?

“Every day, on average, one of the Mexicans who sets out to enter the United States illegally will die. Unseen and unknown, faceless and nameless, his or her passing will have no apparent effect on the United States, Mexico or the vibrant border that separates and connects the two nations with competing intensity.

But the desperation that drives a person to leave home, pay scarce money, travel under dangerous conditions, vie against major odds and risk death for a chance to earn a living wage should not be simply dismissed, as some do, as unlawful behavior. Mexicans, the critics say, should wait their turn, as legal immigrants from Mexico and other countries historically have done.”
