Subversion of Our Immigration System is Deliberate

THINK ABOUT IT. While it's understandable and, I believe, constitutionally justifiable to invoke his emergency authority per Art IV Sec 4, Art I Sec 9 Cl 1, Art II Sec 2, Art I Sec 8, 15, 16 to stop the "invasion" on the southern border, Trump must know that walls are but band-aids intended to stanch the heavy bleeding but that they do not address the underlying causes of the border crisis. 

The real fix is in enforcing employer sanctions on those employers who hire illegal aliens (something the "US" Chamber of Commerce will continue to resist and hate), ridding the system of catch-and-release, and subjecting ALL illegal entrants to arrest, detention and/or imprisonment, as appropriate. Any illegal re-entries must entitle those entrants to a nice cell in a federal prison and immediate deportation after serving his/her time. And no more "alternative detention" scenarios which effectively permit illegals to hole up in internal "detention" situations far from the border where they are allowed to await judicial review of their asylum claims. We all know what happens to 98% of these illegals: they remain in the country permanently. There must also be a strict accounting of visa overstays and an aggressive effort to locate and either imprison or deport them. 

For a variety of greedy economic and self-serving political reasons, our so-called "immigration system" is deliberately designed by politicians and their business lobbyists/donors to encourage illegal entries. Cheap labor and future voters. SO, let's not get our hopes up too high on the effectiveness of the wall. Ultimately, the "system" itself must be shaken out and the deliberately laid mine fields removed.
