If the reader notices, Eduardo used the word immigrants, as if they moved to the United States legally, instead of using illegal immigrants as he should have, a my own opinion obviously. Eduardo also states in the penultimate paragraph that "completely cutting illegal immigration would be prohibitively expensive." Who would it cost for? The government? Wall Street? Big business? It would not cost the poor/average man, it would open up more job opportunities. Yes, it will cost some big businesses, but they should have hired old citizens in the first place. Throughout the entire story of "The Price of Crossing Borders" Eduardo supports illegal immigrants. Explaining that they help and that they do things by the books. In reality this is not the case. They illegally cross the border, use fake IDs and forge documents, all of this is illegal and definitely not by the books.
