To solve immigration problems we need to actually punish the people that hire them and give the teeth back to Immigration and Border Agents. To stop the flood of them we need fence and razor wire - very cheap and very effective. To man it we need to deploy troops of the national guard - on training exercises on strongpoint construction and fortification, thus making it their required training and not spending more money than is being done already.
Also, the fence can be made with recycled material thus making it eco friendly and we can also pile the crushed heaps of old cars, whatever.
Or annex mexico and battle crime - which I support as an officer - but give the penalties more weight. Make hard time chain gangs cleaning up streets and building and schools and bridges and hospitals.
