You're right that security is a big issue with illegal immigration........I just cannot fathom how under this Homeland Security initiative gray haired folks in airports are sometimes subject to intense scrutiny yet for all intents lack of protection along the border allows all sorts of murderers, rapists, drug dealers, diseased and possible terrorists to enter almost at will......it's mindboggling that the American public is not up in arms over this travesty.
Another aspect of this to consider is the fact that literally millions of legal and illegal immigrants depend on welfare style benefits for their very survival because they do not know the language and have no skills.....what happens if there's an economic emergency and the checks stop? How long would it take for numerous communities, large and small, to be swarmed by a tide of humanity that will most likely overwhelm any police force? Does anyone in the useful idiot/open border crowd ever stop to consider the implications of such a happening?
Most pols are afraid to touch the issue. Either round them up & ship them home as most seem to want to do on this thread or do something akin to the Bush plan which is what I have come to think is the best action. The do-nothing approach is a disaster waiting to happen.
