Greg Beato on America's Costly Immigration Bureaucracy

The U.S. government's war on illegal immigration is characterized by chronic uncertainty, observes Greg Beato. No one knows exactly how many illegal immigrants reside in the U.S. or precisely what causes their numbers to wax and wane. What is clear, however, is that eliminating illegal immigration creates more and more bureaucratic infrastructure. And as Beato notes, federal employees are even harder to remove than illegal immigrants once they've gained a foothold.
