I agree with your post but why shouldn't we expect that a president who ran as a conservative, do the job that he is supposed to do? 60 more years of open borders will produce for our children and grandchildren a very different country. I do not want to see that happen. These photos are but a glimpse of what is to come if we have another 16 years of Open borders presidents.

He didn't run as a conservative, he ran as a Republican. Nevertheless, I don't know why he isn't doing anything about borders (republican pandering?). Honestly, I'm more worried about Canada, no one thinks about that threat, and it's a much larger and porous border. It's troubling. The only reason I can think of is a quote I heard or read somewhere, paraphrasing...

A good president focuses on 3-4 issues during his presidency. Bush had 9-11, the economy, jobs, rebuilding the military (all Clinton legacies). Some say the border is part of terrorism, and I agree. I've seen reports of increased border security, etc, but every time something good appears, 20 new bad things are happening. Perhaps we're just to close to the issue, being politically savvy and all that. Maybe we're focusing too much on the minutia, and not the broad picture of the overall plan?

I know you're frustrated, most of us are. Let's say the president says, from here on out, we'll place military ever 100 feet at the borders, round up every illegal and deport them. How would congress react? Is the border issue totally one man's responsibility? Like I said earlier, we have too many rinos in all areas of government, and it's our responsibility at the state level to elect conservatives to federal office, not just republicans. I'm just pondering...
