@TLB:
Oh no! I got minus one! From an anonymous commenter! And what am I to do about those hints that there are things I don’t understand or discuss? Woe is me. If only this mysterious person would tell me what those costs are.

Of course, then s/he would have to defend them, instead of taking pot shots from the hills.

Move along, troll. This bridge is taken.

@Arturo:
Thanks! I admit I’m not sure exactly how the immigration situation should be fixed. I mostly focus on what seem to be some strong imbalances in our public rhetoric and policies (contradictions with each other, with logic, etc.), which suggest to me that (a) we live in a democracy, where such contradictions are the norm ;) and (b) the real reasons for some of the suggested “solutions” are not the reasons being said out loud by those suggesting the “solutions.”

-1 for failing to understand or discuss *all* costs. Find someone else to help you figure out what some of those are.

Thank you for this very sensible post. I recommend to you the new book by Jason Riley, “Let Them In.” The title itself might turn some off, but it makes a very good case for immigration. More legal immigration is necessary, and illegal immigration is not the big crisis its made out to be.
