They need to get off their butts, but they are probably scared to appear 'insensitive' by fighting back.
Liberals get to hurl insults at whoever they want. Conservatives must sit back and take it.
I have heard that the theory of "wet foot" or "dry foot" is used when determining if someone is allowed to stay and ask for asylum after being captured by the coast guard.
If you have a "wet foot" as you would if you were swimming to get the US, it is ok. If your foot is dry, you are deported. So, many on board boats jump overboard, so they will have a "wet foot". So, is the issue one of semantics here? Wet back? Wet foot? What is the difference? It means the same thing; it is someone trying to get to the US illegally.
