I have for many years carefully explained to people that the obvious answer to “illegal immigration” is to make immigration legal. That both Republicans and Democrats fail to see the clarity of this obvious answer is stunning. But, they claim, this means we will have “open borders.” No, it simply means we will have “controlled borders” with enforced rules and legal processes so people wishing to come to the U.S. can be processed through a legal immigration process to gain legal entry, residency, and the right to work (be employed) and work in the U.S. But some say “too many undesirables” will come and seek entry. Well first, what does “too many” and “undesirable” mean? This is why a legal immigration pathway should have rules and adequate processes to qualify and review immigrant applicants. Surely wise and reasonable people could develop such rules and processes, could they not? Sigh, this is why we continue to fail to solve this problem. We seem to have a severe shortage of wise and reasonable people assigned the task of solving the problem.

Both Democrats and Republicans are clearly on the Sinaloa payroll. Republicans refuse to increase limits and call everyone who wants to come here a rapist criminal and Democrats call every effort to limit immigration a crime against humanity. The biggest unspoken need in immigration is the ability to go back and forth across the border. Many immigrants want to work part of the year and then go home. Our policies make it where entire families need to come here instead. And climate change is going to decimate Central America’s agriculture so expect more business!!

Is this the real Arturo Guzman? Because it feels like a deepfake.

I needed a human trafficker to finally explain to me the US immigration system.

Thank you Senor Guzman.
