What a black and white viewpoint to have, I feel bad for you. Should we also execute (on the spot, no less) jaywalkers, children with unlicensed lemonade stands, and people who ask for water cups but then get a fountain drink?

Illegal immigration, like many "large-scale" issues in society, is a multifaceted social phenomenon that there is no silver bullet for, pun intended.
