Well, we can't seal the borders, as they leak like a sieve.

Nonsense. We can call up the National Guards of the border states, and put the troops on the border with orders to shoot to kill.

An Apache Longbow Helicopter with Hellfire Missiles that can take out tanks can sure handle a smugglers pickup truck.

It's all a matter of political courage.

"U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) expressed disappointment with the conference report on the intelligence bill after negotiators on the bill stripped key border security provisions approved by the House of Representatives in October from the bill."

“Today this congress overwhelmingly approved an empty shell of a bill that will provide far more fodder for politicians’ press releases than it will security for the public,” said Tancredo, “It creates the illusion of security, which in some ways is more dangerous than doing nothing at all.”

From this thread.
