It has never been tried. so to suggest something which was never enforced proves if enforced it would not work does really not make a great deal of sense. We have not tried it before. The point is that there is the push factor from those other countries. but there is also the pull factor. the magnetizing factor of Job opportunities here. and unless we deal with that we are not going to in any reasonable way stem illegal immigration into this country. I am not going to stand here and say we are going to cut it all off. because I do not think that is possible. If you look at the record. you will see that from at least 1880 we have had a flow of labor across our border into the United States.
