Mexican Immigration Will Be an Issue as Long as the Nation has a Third World Economy

It has little chance of passing in the Republican House of Representatives, and even if it does, there is no magic formula of quotas, amnesty, pathways, or other regulations that will end illegal immigration to the United States. The U.S.-Mexico border has the largest economic disparity between two bordering nations in the world, and as long as immense poverty and lack of opportunity are highlights of Mexican economy, illegal immigration will continue.
