The truth you percieve is simply incorrect. There is now a pressure, the force of history operating against our southern border. The act of simply closing the border will not resist the pressure. The flow of people is unstoppable short of extermination.
The American Indians felt a similar pressure and were unable to resist, even after going to war. Some solution short of war is being sought.
The pressure heretofore insignificant must be relieved. The current initiative is to begin a dialogue to determine exactly how that can best be done. Nothing has been done except to begin the discourse.
Another alternative would be to annex all territory south to the Columbian border. That also would produce great and probably unaceptable change. It is however an alternative solution.
" The current initiative is to begin a dialogue to determine exactly how that can best be done."
We have been "dialoguing" for years and years and years till we are blue in the face. Nothing in Washington but a bunch of blowhards out to gain more power. Not one politician will speak the truth in this or risk political suicide.
It is this simple immigrants LEGAL AND ILLEGAL are making this country BROKE! There I said it.
Damn I need to run for political office or my wife is going to kill me for my compasion for politics. I feel for my poor wife having to listen to me LOL.
