Yes.  We used to have illegal Mexican immigration, but with the PRI out
of power the Mexican economy has improved a bit and there isn't much
of that.  Now we get folks from Honduras and Guatemala where bad governments
have destroyed the economies who want to get into the US and they are
at the border.

Thing is... the reason why all those people are massing at the border
is that it's not wide open.  If it were wide open, there wouldn't be 
so many people camping there.
