What's more revealing, my little facetious nudge at you, or your ability to go through several paragraphs without touching on the pertinent question I asked you?
Again: is absolute full compliance your only criterion for whether or not to enforce the law against something? In other words, is it a waste of time, in your view, to improve border security unless we can be guaranteed to stop every last illegal entry?

Were your question anything more than rhetorical, you might have a point. It would require that nothing at all has been done to improve border security or is it that not enough has been done to satisfy you ? Your gamesmanship in trying to make the argument over 'full compliance' is misdirection. I clearly stated that illegal immigration is a problem and the solution complex. One with deductive ability would be able to surmise that I believe more needs to be done. Ergo, it is not a waste of time. Enforcement of the law is not the question, whether facetiously posed/nudged or not, but how is the best way to enforce it. You offer no ideas, merely complaints. Which political party does that sound like ?
Your little gotcha game, while amusing, does not further the debate or provide any answers. Let's hear some ideas from you and debate the merits of those ideas from all aspects. Maybe you endorse O'Reilly's idea of military at the border or deporting the over 10 million illegal immigrants immediately, I don't know, you have provided nothing substantive. I don't claim to have the answer because of the many complexities involved, but I do know knee-jerk reactions and ideological/political carping will lead to a non-solution that will make things worse in the long run.
