Leave it to a guy from Iowa to come up with a common sense solution to the problem. I, too, grew up in Iowa and I believe it is something in the water — except that wouldn’t explain Senator Harkin, would it?
Mr. Hogberg has the right idea except I think the border enforcement should go on for at least five years before we start a guest worker program. Our bureaucrats can fake it for two years. It would be much more difficult to fabricate numbers and fences for five years.
