    And your point is?

      "Securing" the border by making it so unpalatable to travel here that people who would break none of our laws are also staying away is a terrible plan in a world that has grown this small and deeply-interconnected. America is not above being passed over by a global community that interprets its behavior as damage and routes around it. We don't know what it's like to become a pariah state; our current behavior has us angled to find out. (At this point, as a native-born American, not even I want to travel. The risk of being unable to return successfully to the country is too high).
