as a nation of immigrants, closing the border is not an option. no reasonable person really wants to completely eliminate immigration as long as it's done through the proper channels. people go through the long and difficult process of attaining citizenship for one reason, it's worth the trouble, with all its faults, this is still one of the best places in the world to live. the problem isn't immigration, it's illegal immigration. why should anyone be granted the benefits of living here when the first thing they did on entering the country was to break our laws?
