No. I say put troops on the border to stop illegal immigration and then increase legal immigration.

The main reasons I say this is for one thing with the terrorism threat the US faces now having an open border would be very stupid and dangerous. Second, is taxes. Illegal immigrants often don't pay taxes and then send their children to schools, and go to the emergency rooms and free clinics for all their medical needs thereby draining the system with out adding to it. You don't have that problem nearly as much with legal documented immigrants.
