Colorado’s Attorney General John Suthers says that while the U.S. could and should do a better job with border security, our border will never be totally secure. One of the problems he identifies is that U.S. policy is not dealing with the economic reality of the demand for non-citizen workers. The number of work permits allowed currently is “wholly inadequate” which then creates the demand for illegal workers. From a law enforcement perspective, he stresses that ICE and other enforcement agencies need more resources; that Americans need to understand and approve the costs involved in improving border security; and that the public also needs to understand that not all local law enforcement officers have the authority to detain suspected illegal immigrants.
