Illegals The Unacceptable Cost of Americas Failure To Control Its Borders by Darrell Ankarlo

Well, if you enjoy reading about the old West, you will sure enjoy this book. The author is very passionate and one sided in his opinions. He seems to ignore that there are any other problems in the USA and implies that if we police our borders we could literally wipe out crime in America. makes me wonder if he has ever spent time in any of the other states. i understand that gangs are a big problem in the cities and poverty is a very real problem in the South. But no one problem can account for all of Americas troubles. The author is a radio talk show host, and comes across as such in his book. i think that he is at least a responsible writer, and hes trying to improve our society...but he thinks illegal immigration is our number one proble, and i disagree. our number one problem is our economy because that is a problem that affects every state, not just a few on the border. The only way we will ever be free of illegal immigration concerns is for Mexico to become a self supporting Nation, like Canada. We have never had a problem with Canadians illegally running into America. Frankly, with the state of the USA as it is; I wonder if Canada is beginning to have a problem with USA illegal immigrants.
If you really want to know what I think the author is really up to; its selling pot.
his entire case evolves around the hugh bales of pot the agents constantly seize in Arizona coming illegally from Mexico. it is a very short line in the sand to see that we can remove all their power by making pot legal. i think that is where the author is really going, he just doesnt want to come out and say that...and for the record I think the USA will soon make pot legal, Ive accepted that, but I think its a bad idea. Yes, it will likely solve our economic crisis from the tax generated, but we will have the same kind of problems that we now face with alcohol addiction. I am aware that people say pot is not addictive but I doubt that is true.
