to the question "What are the solutions to illegal immigration in America?"
Reasoning:
"...anti-immigrant policies have not really worked. While exclusion is electorally popular and the availability of cheap, vulnerable workers useful, policies that result in large-scale and highly visible irregular entry, and in serious human-rights violations—deaths, drownings, enslavement, gross exploitation—are not. States need to show that they are in control of their borders but also that human life, whosever life it may be, is of concern. A new strategy is needed, and human-rights principles, which address the utter powerlessness of the useful migrant, must be an essential part of it."
