I believe that if we do not adress this problem very soon, it will only deepen the economic recession that we are suffering in.  Illegal immigrants are doing jobs under the table and not paying taxes to the government like all American citizens.  By taking jobs away from American citizens, it is only going to make the unemployment rate go higher and higher.  Even though building a wall on the Mexican border would be an expensive project, it would be a great investment in protecting our country.
