Immigration Reform

Any ideas? How do we solve this immigration problem in the U.S.?

There is the same problem in Europe now too with the Syrian refugees flooding the borders.

There must be an ethical and humane way of helping our neighbors to the south.

It is certainly not what Donald Trump is suggesting, deportation is not the answer. They will turn around and come back the next day, build tunnels or come in by sea. This only widens the disparity of opportunity and mutual prosperity.

But there is a solution, one that is beneficial to both sides.

I believe the solution is jobs along the border, not walls... Were we to send our jobs, factories and many services, even warehouses with internet sales to the border rather than halfway around the globe, would that not allow immigrants to work in the U.S. yet still go home to their own country at night. If there were a "jobs zone" along the border, fair/equal wages ID cards stating country of residence and safe working conditions. PROBLEM SOLVED...

I tend to think Mexican immigrants would prefer to live in their own country if conditions were conducive to a living wage.

One other thing, get US corporations out of their country, stop them from bribing their officials (as they do to our politicians) and stealing their own precious resources out from under them. Eventually Mexican corporations could put their factories along side our own. Create a wall of opportunity not a wall of alienation.
