Idjits. Hellary is "against" illegal immigrants because she actually wants to legalize them all and up our quota for the Middle East. But she's crafty...
We do need to revise our quotas. We obviously need more low-skilled workers here, whether guest workers or people on the citizenship track, and Latin America is a good place to get them. (However, they should be Latin Americans, and not Saudis, Iraqis, Yemenis and the other miscellaneous folks streaming across the southern border.) Canada was a sieve, and the only documented security threats to us actually came through Canada, but Canada was at least willing to tighten up and cooperate. Mexico has been completely uncooperative and should be punished severely, which is the only solution to this problem..
We have got to make Mexico reinforce the border from its side. I think the "Minutemen" are being allowed to operate (because believe me, our law could stop them if it wanted to) as a threat to the Mexican government. The US, officially, cannot set up border posts, walls or any of the other things some people are clamoring for - imagine the press, and of course the judges would knock it down immediately.
But this is a wild card, and that's why Mexico is a little taken aback. Hillary, on the other hand, has simply found somebody (idjit nativists) to bamboozle, and they're flocking to drink the Kool-Aid. Dumbos.
Interesting. This makes me wonder (slightly off-subject) what will happen when the minutemen come to Texas (my home state), as planned. There is serious danger, especially on the border at Laredo - Nuevo Laredo. Full running gun battles that have included cross-border shootings. In this case, the minutemen would very seriously be endagering their own lives, as well as the lives of law enforcement by making a bad situation worse.
That doesn't mean I disagree with what they are doing. But I wonder how they will be received over here. I can very realistically see law enforcement barring them from the area. And when you're looking at problem areas, as the minutemen are, ignoring that part of the border (one of the major crossings into the US for freight, drugs, illegals) would be like doing port security without including New York. Or something like that. ;)
Let it be shown that one terrorist crossed the "highly efficient" 1 to 4 strand barbwire fence at the mexican border and pop a device in the middle of Dallas or Phoenix etc, etc. and the 500 to 700 Minutemen you see now will transform into 7,000 to 10,000 in about a week. They will be blocking the border from coast to coast. Within a month there will be a highly organized, fully commo linked, border watching network that no judge that valued a paycheck or possessed a shred of common decency would grant an order against.
Heck, we damn near have that fixing to happen right now.
