Economic growth in the 80s and 90s, more law enforcement officers, the
aging of the population....

The guts? Are you serious? It takes guts to post on a golf newsgroup
that illegal entrants to the US should be shot? That's the dumbest
thing I've heard in a long time.

As for your question, I don't remember seeing it. And I don't know
what you mean by an illegal having a chance to prove himself.

Sorry, I didn't see that.

Hell, dropping an H bomb on Mexico could be called a solution,to
consider murder as a solution is more than a stretch.

Since neither party, when in power, has been able to do this there
must be some complications. Money is the main culprit.

Of course he should. That's what the American justice system is built
on. Otherwise we have a police state....which is just about what
