If they're wide open, then why do thousands get arrested each year for violating the border?

The NYT ran a lengthy story on the triple border months ago. Add the instability in nearly every S.A. country, the thriving marxist underground, the narco armies and the dollars they control, the centuries old resentment/hatred of el Norte and we're looking at the fire next time.

The news coming from the southern hemisphere is not good and has not been for a long time. My sources have been talking about the dangers for at least 5 years.

Here are two more articles that lay it out pretty well.

The Middle East is bad enough, but if you look south of the Rio Grande all the way to Argentina, there is nothing but trouble. Castro's friends, e.g. Chavez in Venezuela and Lula in Brazil, are just the most visible examples of anti-Gringo hatred. Meantime, we try to extend the "free trade" zones southward and run what amounts to an open southern border.

Unfortunately, it appears that it will take a tragic attack, shown to have been launched by terrorists who entered illegally through the southern US border, before mainstream politicians decide to take any serious measures to improve interdiction there, etc.
