[Mr. Pockets]

Just a odd thought: Many people in this thread have pointed out that the undocumented immigrants have a lot to offer to our economy and our country. I'm just curious if that's the case why are they coming here? Maybe instead of trying to find a way to keep illegal immigrants out we could try to think of a way to make them stop wanting to come. I totally agree with falconmaster, the current system of punishing illegal immigrants is currently rather ineffective. But I don't think that we should reward people for entering the country illegally either (it kind of kicks all the people who have been in line for legal entry in the teeth). Instead, is there anything that we could do as a nation that could provide the people entering illegally the things that they come seeking without actually letting them in? That way they could put their various talents towards improving their home countries and that way they wouldn't need illegally enter our country. That would be a win-win situation...or maybe not. Did I make any sense?
