Too high in human terms. too high in economic terms. too high in damage done to the integrity of our national borders. Because the allure is strong. The opportunity for better Jobs and a better life is almost irresistible. While we delay. the wetback will keep coming. keep crossing. as he has for years. If sovereignty is to mean anything. then we must have an immigration policy. It is fantasy to think we can turn back the clock on those already here. and hardhearted fantasy at that. What we can do is cap the flowwhich means cutting off the source which is jobs.
