Protectionism doesn't work. Market forces work around it every time.
ETA: Isn't it a little offensive to argue for keeping hard working people out of our country? Aren't these Mexican people the same as the folks who came in through Ellis Island? Give them a chance. We need some ambitious people here. get them working and get them paying taxes and contributing. Throw the lazy ones back over the border.
