The issue of immigration and border security is more complex than the political debate in Washington and on cable television would lead the public to believe. It is also easier and far less costly to solve than many of the plans introduced by leading politicians and pundits.
The current reality on the Texas-Mexican border as well as much of the border outside of Texas is that the flow of immigrants who illegally enter the U.S. has declined dramatically in recent decades, from 1.6 million to about 400,000.
Today, the border is still faced with an illegal entry problem...
...there's a much greater and more real threat to American prosperity and national security. The U.S. is now at around 1.9 births per female, well below replacement level. And with 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day, the demographic outlook is bleak.
Without population growth and the prospect of new workers, economic growth is just not likely...
...there are two things the U.S. Border Patrol seeks along the Texas-Mexico border: visibility of the river and access to the river. Both can be easily achieved simply by cleaning up the riverbank along the Rio Grande...
...with modern technology such as motion detectors and infrared sensors, this enhanced natural buffer zone is a far more effective barrier to entry than any man-made barrier...
...cases of children and families from Central America seeking asylum has led to the further escalation of wait times...
...Congress would need to double the number of immigration judges...
... we must look to reasonable and productive solutions that benefit the United States and Mexico. As Texas' largest trading partner and our neighbor, we must support a border security plan with Mexico that continues to foster economic development and our good-neighbor policies that have been in place for generations.

Somehow I don't see any way around these conclusions; anyone see something I'm missing?

Whenever Trump says that his follows pass out in orgasmic ecstasy and the democrats scream IMPEACH TRUMP whereupon their followers pass out in orgasmic ecstasy. Now, I like orgasmic ecstasy as much as the next guy but just look at the border wall in this picture:gotta build that wall keep em out

oops, we can't see it because it's underwater. right about were the illegals are crossing.
Let's agree that we definitely need something but imho it's not a wall. Besides, nobody in Washington has any interest in actually doing anything about a wall anyway, other than just using the idea to cause orgasms.

How are immigrants, who tend to use far more welfare than white Americans, going to help grow the economy? Maybe if we focused on skilled immigrants you would have a point, but you still have the social and cultural issues that aren't addressed with a pure economic analysis.

We allow around 3/4 of a million to a million people legally into this country each year and we have around 12 million green card holders in this country. The idea that we need more immigration is hogwash invented by scum who want to loosen our immigration laws.
