All liberals lie some of the time; some liberals lie all of the time:

   "The [immigration] bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It
   will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the
   standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose
   their jobs."
                         - Ted Kennedy, 1965

   "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal
   aliens.  We will secure the borders henceforth.  We will never again
   bring forward another amnesty bill like this."
                         - Ted Kennedy, 1986

   "Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken
   system."
                         - Ted Kennedy, 2007

I agree totally but I hate to tell you that a border fence is not too expensive and it would be effective. That is why a border fence has not been constructed.

The powers that be in our country do not want the border closed. For one thing we have a high level agreement with Mexico to keep it porous as a safety valve for their economy. Some 40% of the Mexican GDP comes from money sent back to Mexico from illegal workers here. The other reason is Big Business and Big Agra. They need those low wage workers.

So unless there is a total sea change in our society the border will never be secured.

Militarize the border patrol.
