no nation can be considered sovereign when it defaults on its borders, Fox is just playing the old divide and conquer, semantic wordplay game to distract
I truly fear the solution, if and when the corporatists choose to finally enforce the borders and attempt to deport the 25 plus million illegally immigrated (or undocumented if that is a term you prefer) will be the flexing of a police state surveillance society that will make all previous ons pale in comparison. This grid of monitoring will then be turn on the American citizens themselves, and many will gladly accept the yoke, all in the name of order and security.
It is a lose/lose situation, unless the illegally immigrated simply self-deport, as a few have, due to economic forces, but the numbers of voluntary deportees pale to the numbers already there, and the more arriving daily.
Amnesty will cause a huge additional flood, as soon as the deadline is announced, as will family re-unification. You then will have at least 50 million of woefully undereducated, low wage, low-skilled, linguistically and culturally separated workers competing with the native citizen workforce for jobs that are rapidly drying up as it is.
As long as a false left/right paradigm exists politically, with one side in want of lower and lower wages for all Americans, and the other simply seeing immigrants as a built-in client base of votes and social support demands on a state apparatus they champion, nothing will change for the better.
The illegally immigrated are simply pawns on a multi-level chessboard of globalism and its effects, when practiced to absolute profit ends with no regard to the sovereign nation-state's internal underlying socio-economic needs.
Add in the police state schema and you have the classic "Problem - Reaction - Solution" or "Order Out of Chaos" that has served the power elite so well since the days of the Sumerians and Pharaohs onward.
A fence, no matter if it was designed to keep wolves out, irregardless of intent, also keeps the sheep in.
