'When it comes to combating illegal immigration into the United States, Mexico is not our amigo,' RubenNavarrette writes
In 2005, the Fox administrationa comic-book-style pamphlet with tips on how to cross into the U.S. illegally—and avoid detection once they got here. Dubbed “The Guide for the Mexican Immigrant,” the 32-page how-to manual used color drawings and short phrases. If you cross in the desert, the booklet advised, do it “when the heat is not so intense.” Given that thousands of Mexican migrants have died crossing the border illegally, Mexican officials claimed they were trying to save lives.
Former President George W. Bush was absolutely right that immigrants do “jobs that Americans won’t do.” It’s been this way since the German immigrants landed on the Eastern seaboard in the mid-1770s. . There are almost 20,000 U.S. Border Patrol agents, with plenty of tools at their disposal to keep out border crossers. If all the U.S. government’s boats, planes, helicopters, drones, all-terrain vehicles, fences, spotlights, electronic sensors, and tunnel detection devices constitute an open border, I’d hate to see a closed one.
