Build The Wall

In the face of the current demonstrations and upheaval over illegal immigration, George Will says "control our borders" and gives four good reasons why:
But control belongs at the top of the agenda, for four reasons. First, control of borders is an essential attribute of sovereignty. Second, current conditions along the border mock the rule of law. Third, large rallies by immigrants, many of them here illegally, protesting more stringent control of immigration reveal that many immigrants have, alas, assimilated: They have acquired the entitlement mentality spawned by America's welfare state, asserting an entitlement to exemption from the laws of the society they invited themselves into. Fourth, giving Americans a sense that borders are controlled is a prerequisite for calm consideration of what policy that control should serve.

After seeing thousands of Mexican flag-waving demonstrators in the last week or so, I'm guessing that a majority of Americans would quickly agree that we must do what we can to regain our soveignity, and building the border wall would be the obvious first step.
