When you have hundreds of thousands of illegals crossing the border then sealing it with a wall and armed guards is a great start.

Then you systematically round up and deport those here illegally.

FDR kicked out 2 million of them in 1939. Eisenhower kicked out over 1 million of them during his administration.

The immigration laws are not broken, they are simply not enforced.

These are the faces of the Open Borders Lobby.

America haters who think the American flag is the same as a Nazi Swastika:

And neo-commnunists, still screaming "workers of the world unite!"

These are the Open Borders Lobby, American Quislings.

It amazes me that so-called freepers can show up here and defend open borders along with them.

" sealing it with a wall and armed guards is a great start. "

It was tried and didn't work. See my profile page.

1. Fences only serve two purposes, stopping vehicles and delineating the border. They don't stop individuals. See Inspector General's Report linked on my profile page.

2. We tried assigning 32 guards per mile to a 66 mile border of double fences. Illegals still climbed over the fences and made past the guards at a rate that extrapolates into 1.2 million per year just for the two thousand mile Mexican border.

3. According DHS there are 102,000 miles of land borders and shoreline (including the Great Lakes) that would have to be patrolled. Even at 32 guards per mile (which isn't enough) that would be over 3 million guards, an impossible number to hire.

4. Even if we could magically seal the border, it would not prevent illegal immigrants. About 1/2 of the illegals in the country now originally entered legally as tourists, students, on business, etc... and simply didn't return to their homeland.

During my lifetime, liberals have been emotionally driven while conservatives have grounded their positions in reality. People who say that we can seal the border if we just believe hard enough are not grounded in reality. They are driven by emotionalism.
