You mistakenly believe the federal government has any desire of stemming the flood of illegals flowing into this country. A position that has been proved false on many occasions.

Until there is another act of super-terror that can be linked directly to the open borders, there will be no action. There will be none then unless the citizens react with sufficient outrage to frighten the federals into thinking their jobs aren't safe.

The Minutemen have come closer to securing the border (yes, a short section, but more than was being secured) than either political party has been, or will be willing to do until we force them. All the greatest plans in the world won't do a thing until we take our alleged leaders by the throat and shake some sense into them.

Power rests in sufficient numbers of outraged and motivated citizens standing up and saying "This Ends Now!" That's the only way to secure the borders. Until then, the No Borders traitors will continue to control the floodgates

The sad thing is that this, along with hundreds of other examples, contributes to the belief (which I now feel is true) that this is no longer a country of laws. When the government ignores laws, how can the people be expected to take them seriously.

When the people pass a law, and federal judges overturn them, it leads to the belief that there is no reason to even try. When public officials commit serious crimes, like perjury, or stealing and destroying classified documents, and they're given nothing more than a slap on the wrist, people lose respect for the law. When taxpayers see their tax dollars thrown away, or given to people who are here illegally, but can't get the basic government services that their tax dollars are supposed to provide, they become cynical, and lose even more respect for the government and laws.

Pretty soon, you wind up with what's for the most part, two seperate societies. One within the law, and one outside of it. Eventually those two societies will begin to battle with each other.
