Until Mexico decides it doesn't want to be a 3rd world country, the USA is just fingering dykes with any "solution".
National ID Cards? what, like a social security card?
Minimum wage increase? so we can make unskilled, illegal aliens upper lower instead of lower lower income families?
Border Security? Like what, the Berlin Wall?
The root problem is we're rough ridin' sexy and everyone wants to eff us. Until other sexy chicks develop, we're going to get hit on by fat, drunk, ugly smelly people who we'll probably let bang us if they promise to clean our house for below minimum wage.
Just take all the money we spend on immigration related activities and just spend it on building an infrastructure in Mexico (roads, schools, hospitals, etc.). It would, in the long run, be a better spend of money. Also, legalize and tax weed.
like a photo id with biometrics, something that can't be forged by anyone with a xerox and card stock. we're not so sexy anymore, net negative immigration from mexico over the last few years (self deportation in the parlance of romney).
I think a biometric card would be struck down by the SCOTUS. There are other less intrusive was to verify citizenship.
We might have put on a few pounds, but we are still hot. Any increase in wages in america will mean a shift to outsourcing (at lower economic rates in whichever country the company relocates its work to), higher prices for consumers (impacting the poor the most), and will provide more incentive to come to america.
