>If you want to stop people from entering the US illegally and living here, you would do well to cut off their supply of jobs. However, if illegal aliens do not have jobs, then they will need to be on welfare, which would definitely mean more than there are already currently. If the existing unsecured border was truly secure, then there would not be 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States, so obviously something has to change since the status quo is unsustainable. Illegal immigration from Canada is not a major problem, especially since it's so hard to get into Canada, both from an asylum/immigration standpoint, but also geographically (surrounded by water).
