Yes I agree that Guest Worker Program is the solution to illegal immigration and border control without the fences.

IN A LARGER SENSE, PROBLEM OF THE UNDOCUMNTED ALIENS IS NOT THEIRS, BUT AMERICA'S. IF REMAINS UNSOLVED: AMERICA IS HEADED FOR ECONOMIC DOOM. IF IT IS SOLVED: AMERICA IS HEADED FOR ECONOMIC BOOM. IF NOT AMNESTY, A CHANCE TO WORK LEAGALLY IS A MUST.

One of the reasons that the Immigration Reform failed in the Senate was for the fact that most conservatives were adamant not to grant any kind of concession to the undocumented aliens until and unless the borders are fenced and secured. They are right in that sense. Because if the flow of illegal intrusion is not stopped, granting any kind of concession to the undocumented aliens will not solve the immigration problem that needs to be addressed more urgently right now than at any other time. However, they are not right in the sense that securing the vast borders with fences is not a pragmatic idea. Fences are destructible; they can be blown off, torn down, or destroyed by natural causes. Preservation and maintenance of the fences would require 24-hour surveillance and deterrence against any kind of subversion or destruction attempts to the fences, and cost and effort wise that would be staggering.

The challenge of building, preserving and maintaining the fences reminds me of a story: Shoes were not invented then. A king, who had always walked on carpets, could not resist the urge to walk on the ground one day and had dusts on his feet. He got very angry at the dusts and wanted to do away with the dusts forever. He ordered his subjects to cover his entire country with leather, so that no dusts can ever come out and touch his feet again. That was a formidable order and nobody could figure out from where could they gather that much leather? Finally, one man told the king that if the purpose were not to have dusts on feet, then the king would be better off covering his own feet with leather instead of covering the entire country. It worked and shoes were invented.

Construction of fences along the vast borders and to preserve and maintain would be a formidable task. Berlin Wall did not exist. How could we expect the fences to exist? America lures people from all around the world with life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. No, Berlin Wall, no fences will ever daunt them from coming to the United States. They, definitely, will find ways to outsmart those fences. The Alps could not stop Hannibal, the Mount Everest
