#1 Trouble is, Guatemala is a humid country with lots of water. Mexico North of DF is generally hot and dry. For this reason, Guatemalans are a lot more likely to die crossing the desert than are Mexicans, who have a greater likelihood of knowing how harsh a desert can be.

#2 They want to be Americans? Fine. Invade and annex right down to Panama. Scrap their cultures and defend the wee little border.

#3 The United States needs to do a better job enforcing U.S. immigration laws against employers that hire undocumented immigrants, he said. That would send the message "that it's futile, that even if you do make it you aren't going to realize your goal of access to jobs," he said.

I agree completely. If employers are still willing to gamble on someone's identity without conducting anything more than a cursory check, then it's time to hit 'em where it'll hurt the most.

#5 BAR, we need to perp walk some illegal-hiring CEOs and bankrupt their companies. It wouldn't take many before the word got around that hiring illegal "cheap" labor had a damned expensive downside and that the risk/reward ratio was prohibitive. Most businessmen aren't stupid. Make that negative cost/benefit relationship clear and our problem with illegals will go away quickly.
