All I can do is cite the stats from the Border patrol on arrests, detentions and deportations..
I am aware that the border states are a mess, but you can’t lay all that on W.
It goes back before Reagan.
Yes, I agree that we are being invaded.
You won’t get any argument from me on that.
You missed a key point in what I said: I am NOT in a border state. I’m one thousand, one hundred miles from the nearest border crossing at Laredo, Texas. 1,100 miles. I’m in Tennessee.
I have had murders involving illegals within earshot of my house, my once safe neighborhood turned into a barrio, property values a fraction (it would cost 5 to 10 times what my house and property would fetch if I were to buy something equivalent. We would’ve gotten more for it in 1990 in real dollars !) of what they would be if I were in another area of town (where the rich leftists live, insulated from their own policies - who would scream holy hell if they had to have put up with DAILY harassment from illegal neighbors and constant calls to the police, who similarly did nothing since we came pretty close to being a sanctuary city with PC policies).
We’re not being invaded — we ARE invaded, and are reaping the rewards of said invasion across the board - past tense. All Dubya had to do was secure the border, his Constitutional duties, and he did nothing. It was President Reagan’s single worst action in office in granting amnesty. You don’t pardon millions of people engaged in criminal behavior (and yes, it is criminal - if you don’t obey basic laws of immigration, how can you expect them to magically obey all other laws, and those of basic decency), yet after that, it’s continued to be excused and pandered to all the while the nation sinks.
