The proposed Border Wall is a waste of money. The U.S. could have stopped illegal immigration dead in its tracks a hundred years ago with a national ID like Mexico has. Anyone gainfully employed in that country has one. That right-to-work I.D. document is called the Cedula de Profesion. It is like our Social Security Card, except that it hasa photo ID and other security enhancements. Our social security card can be easily reproduced with a copy machine--but just memorizing the number is as good as possessing the unlaminated, card-stock, paper document issued by the Government. Legal workers in Mexico also have free medical care with their exclusive, government-owned Hospitales de Seguro Social. These are full-service hostpitals restricted to use by legally-employed citizens. That is the reason that Mexican ambulances continue to bring their sick and injured across the border to the U.S. hospitals that are designated to accept indigent patients. There are few independent, full-service hospitals in Mexico.
We won't ever have a national ID because organized crime does not want it. It would be a threat to their lateral mobility, anonymity and ability to easily change their identity or steal someone else's. Our populace,. as a whole, are dumbed down in education and so profoundly duped by political correctness that they cannot objectively judge anything they see, hear or read. Political correctness, impressment of the media by organized crime, and the media exaltation of "diversity" are strategies of the e litists to keep the general population suppressed.. If you do not understand how that can happen, read the George Orwell novel, "1984."
Most of the illegal aliens that come here are illiterate peons that would be a drag on any society, but naturally, they prefer ours because, with welfare, they can live as well as those legal, professional wage-earners in Mexico who invested a lot of time and money in education and training.
The U.S. Government has always been a co-conspirator in illegal immigration. The new Administration is no different from any of the past 60 years. Trump's immigratin programs are nothing more than window dressing. The Wall sounds good, and so does rounding up CRIMINAL aliens. Unfortunately, in effect, the Government has re-defined illegal immigration, such as that practiced by the Dreamers, their extended famiies, and condoned by our Government.. Notwithstanding, It is still a felony:

In WWII most farm labor in the Midwest was performed by POWs from Europe. As long as welfare pays more than the minimim wage, there will be no incentive for legal workers to seek employment in the U.S. Employers use that as an excuse for hiring illegal aliens. Abundant welfare and low wages make that excuse a self-fulfilling prophesy. The only way to cure that excuse would be to raise the minimum wage to about $18.00 per hour, or decrease welfare to a such a low level (for the able-bodied) that it would incentivise working for a living.
We are now bordering on anarchy and violence that military intrervention will eventually become inevitable, unless we want another Bastille-type Revolution. The only impediment would be a national identiy card and strict adherence to the law by employees and employers, severe penalties for violators. The window of opportunity for that option is rapidly diasppearing. We SHOULD be concerned about Russian spy-ships lurking just off our shore. When aircraft carriers and troop ships start showing up, it might be an incentive for most aliens to go home, but some, the fifth-columnists that now riot in the streets, will mysteriously stay behind.

President Trump May Re-Write and Re-issue His Executive Order on the "ban."
President Trump's executive order concerning the intensive vetting of aliens from problem countries in the Middle East will probably be resubmitted next week and the so-called ban re-instated.
Obama had Chief Justice John Roberts as his personal secretary to do the re-writing of his Obamacare, then along with the other SCOTUS members passed it into law. Blacks ordinarily get a pass on many mistakes but the courts jumped through their proverbial derrieres to make America's first black president a success because...well, because he was America's first black president.
Trump does not have the luxury of the courts coddling him like they did Obama. He is therefore vulnerable to the courts' quibbling and pettifogging his every action, their aiding and abetting the left wing activists, fifth-columnist opponents of law and order and the advocates of anarchy.
Trump should have paid more attention to hiring experts in immigration law, particularly in the fields of examinations and exclusions. Examiners have to write publishable reports of every denial, backing it up with quoted law and precedent decisions. The best are not lawyers because the vagaries of immigration law are intimidating and they must depend upon impoverished clients, or such organizations as the Legal Aid Society or other charitable sources for their fees.
Immigration Examiners historically worked their way up though the Border Patrol and other divisions of immigration law enforcement. A few enjoyed encyclopedic memories and the faculty of instant recall. Such skills are now blunted by computers, and I believe, make one mentally lazy.
Most of those "immigration experts" on Trump's staff seem to have been mostly involved in the physical round-up aspect of immigration law enforcement, without in-depth learning in immigration law. Trump should not have ignored the learned, self-taught specialists. It is hard to conceive, but a few years ago some, if not most, of the real experts in immigration law were also "cowboys" early in their immigration law enforcement careers. Going from the Border Patrol to Immigration Examinations was an unsettling experience. When I applied for that job in 1975, I went from Fort Hancock, Texas to Los Angeles. I had just received my degree in English, and I was later told that that was the reason I was selected. I later learned that the job would require mountains of typewritten reports on my personal adjudications of all sorts of applications for a wide array of immigration benefits, but mostly for permanent residence in the U.S. Many such benefits required the applicant to possess certain skills, from doctors to rocket scientists. Some applicants were movie actors and others were professional athletes. Soon after arrival in L.A. District Office, I was detailed to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) for advance training.
Former President Reagan started appointing big campaign contributors, such as Howard Ezell, former Weinerschnitzel CEO, to such powerful decision-making jobs as Southwest Regional Commissioner of the INS. Such "outsiders" tended to promote sycophants with no regard for merit. In the late 1980s the old INS became just another trove of political spoils. Ezell, seemingly a frustrated, wannabe law-man, liked to go out on raids with enforcement personnel andactually chase the (always) fleeing aliens. Instead of battling the open- border advocates, President Reagan eventually caved in and signed on to the biggest immigration amnesty in history (IRCA, in 1986).
For the first time ever, last night I found myself agreeing with Geraldo Rivera. He said that Trump's executive order (on the so-called ban) was "bush league" in the way it was written. Indeed, it was dead in the water before it got off the ground. Trump is in bad need of some real immigration experts to combat the lurking vultures of left-wing opposition in the courts. If I were young again, I might volunteer to help without compensation, but advancing age and declining energy, now forbid it.
