What's the downside? It's all about perspective. The loud "secure the border" cries here are the typical compassion-less cries of fear from the Right. They have all this "national pride" simply because their mother happened to give birth on them on American soil. Their lack of empathy to anyone and everyone born anywhere else is appalling on a basic human level. And then you have people like Ann Coulter spewing her typical hate in the misguided name of politics because of the fear that immigrants tend to vote Democrat instead of Republican. It's all about the agenda and has nothing to do with doing what's right for humans.

Open Borders
Thinking about the border - it hit me that totally open may be the best solution. A clear path for good-faith immigrants, easy passage for those that want to travel back and forth. With normal, good people able to pass freely, then the border patrols can focus on the actual illegal activities around drug/gun smugglers and trafficking. From this article's conclusion, "if you want a secure US-Mexico border, one where law enforcement can focus on rooting out murderers and smugglers, you need open borders". Makes a lot of sense.
