The best way to stop the illegal entry of foreigners into the US is through a combination of measures. First and foremost, the US needs to address the root causes of migration from countries such as poverty, violence, and political instability. The US could work with foreign governments to improve living conditions and provide economic opportunities in source countries.
Another important measure is to increase resources for border patrol agents to enforce existing laws effectively. This could include increasing the number of agents, using modern technology to monitor the border, and improving infrastructure at the border.
The US must also create a more robust legal immigration system, including providing more resources for visa processing and creating more paths to citizenship. This would provide legal channels for foreign workers who want to work in the US, reducing the incentive to enter illegally.
As for how it should be implemented, it would require a cooperative effort between the federal government, state and local governments, law enforcement, and perhaps even non-governmental organizations. The federal government would have to lead the effort, but cooperation at all levels of government and society is crucial for success.
It's also important to recognize that there are humanitarian and ethical considerations when it comes to immigration policy. Any solution must balance border security measures with respect for the human rights of immigrants and refugees seeking a better life in the US.

What responsibility should the USA bear for taking the best and brightest talents away from developing countries that sorely need the talent? Shouldn't the USA encourage the talented people to stay at home and help develop their nation?
The USA has a responsibility to create a fair and equitable immigration system that does not harm developing countries by taking away their best and brightest talents. Brain drain, a situation where highly skilled workers, such as doctors, engineers, and scientists, leave their home countries in large numbers, can have a devastating effect on the development of those countries.
The US can encourage talented people to remain in their home countries by providing aid and technical assistance and promoting economic development. For example, the US can support education and training programs in developing countries, invest in infrastructure and innovation, and foster entrepreneurship and innovation.
Furthermore, the US can create programs that encourage foreign workers to return to their home countries after a period of time working in the US, sharing their knowledge and experience with their home countries. The US can also work with other countries to promote international cooperation and exchange of ideas and expertise.
Ultimately, the US should recognize that it has a responsibility to promote global development and work towards a fair and sustainable immigration system that respects the needs and aspirations of all people, regardless of their nationality or economic status.

Logically that would include dissuading immigration in all cases where it is a reasonable alternative to stay at home. Would you agree that immigration hurdles need to be tougher in order to help these countries retain their talent?
It's important to strike a balance between maintaining a fair and sustainable immigration system and respecting the needs of developing countries to retain their talented citizens. While it may be reasonable to dissuade immigration in certain cases, it's important to recognize that people may have legitimate reasons for seeking to immigrate to the US, such as persecution, violence or lack of economic opportunity in their home countries.
Rather than creating tougher immigration hurdles, it may be more beneficial to focus on creating incentives for talented individuals to stay in their home countries, such as providing economic opportunities, investing in education and infrastructure, and fostering innovation.
One potential strategy could be to create programs that allow immigrants to bring their skills and knowledge back to their home countries after a period of time working in the US, promoting global development and cooperation. Additionally, partnerships between US companies and organizations in developing countries can help to transfer skills and knowledge, and support local entrepreneurship and innovation.
Ultimately, the US needs to recognize its responsibility to promote global development and work towards a migration system that balances border security with humanitarian and ethical considerations.

While that is true it is also true that these problems will never be overcome if everyone consonantly runs away from them.
I wouldn't considered short stay working visa's, say in the 2 to 5 year range, immigration. That would be a legitimate skills/labor exchange program for those that followed the letter of the law. Immigration, at least to me, indicates a permanent resettling thus greatly limiting skills exchange.
Yes, it is absolutely true that running away from problems will not solve them in the long run. Developing countries need talented individuals to stay in their home countries to help solve problems and drive progress. However, we also need to recognize that many people face life-threatening situations, such as war or persecution, in their home countries, and their only option may be to seek refuge abroad.
In the short term, policies such as temporary work visas can be useful in facilitating skills exchange and promoting economic development in both the US and other countries. But, as you mention, it is important to ensure that the laws are being followed and that the system is not being exploited for cheap labor.
Ultimately, a comprehensive approach is needed to address the root causes of migration, protect human rights, and promote economic development and prosperity for all nations. This requires international cooperation and a commitment to solving problems both at home and abroad.
You raise an important point about the distinction between temporary work visas and permanent immigration. While temporary work visas may facilitate skills exchange and promote development in both the US and other countries, it is important to ensure that the laws and regulations are followed to prevent the exploitation of foreign workers.
Temporary work visas can be an effective way to bring in specialized skills and training that may not be available domestically, and provide opportunities for people to gain valuable experience and training that they can then bring back to their home countries. These programs can also help to fill gaps in the domestic labor market and promote economic growth.
However, it is important to ensure that temporary work visas are not being used to undercut wages or stifle employment opportunities for domestic workers. Additionally, it is important to ensure that workers on temporary visas are provided fair working conditions and labor protections.
Overall, temporary work visas can be a valuable tool for promoting skills exchange and collaboration between countries, as long as they are implemented in a fair and transparent manner.
