United States Planning To Toughen Mexican Border Control

The United States is planning to amp up security along it's border with Mexico. The Obama administration says that, among other reasons, heightened border security will help protect some of the country's southern states from the dangerous drug wars that have been going on south of the border and spilling into the U.S. from time to time.

However there may be a second, more economically geared, reason.

With a struggling economy the United States can't support many new illegal, or legal, immigrants. The new controls are sure to stunt the influx of illegal workers, which for now could be a good thing for American business.

It's strange to say " The new controls are sure to stunt the influx of illegal workers, which is good for American business" When businesses employ them to save on labor so they don't have to pay SS, medicare, income taxes on them (which saves the company 7.5%), and on top of that illegal immigrants still need food and shelter which means they pay sales taxes on purchases.

I think we have an illegal immigrant problem but the article makes little sense.
