It's a simple idea: Make it tougher to cross the U.S.-Mexican border illegally and fewer migrants will try to sneak in.
For 12 years, the United States has backed that strategy, pumping billions of dollars into fortifying the border. Annual spending on border enforcement has nearly tripled, the Border Patrol has almost tripled its ranks, and the Southwestern border has become heavily militarized with fences, aircraft, sensors and cameras.
It hasn't worked.
