It is time - close the border.
Require entry to the U.S. only by air travel with the appropriate documents, for any reason whatsoever. Alter the industrial supply chains so that on Mexico soil, the trailers of the long haul rigs are handed off to American citizens, who take them to their final U.S. destination.
