When you see those thousands of criminals marching in the streets, it is a testimony to the utter worthlessness of the US government in protecting our country from invasion. That weakness on display is not lost on our enemies and another attack is surely in the works. We certainly do not get our money's worth when we send it to the federal government, whose major Constitutional responsibility is to "provide for the national defense."
Very true. And money is really the issue and the solution.
Do you think we'd even need a fence at the border if:
1) Employers were fined consistently for employing them,
2) There were no public services -- including education -- for illegals to make use of,
3) Emergency-room treatment required ascertaining legal status and deportation after a patient was stable,
4) The tax system was not based on reporting income, but collected at the cash register, so simply buying anything here meant automatically paying taxes
We need to make it DIFFICULT to live here illegally. EXPENSIVE to live here illegally. Then they'll stop coming.
How do you know there are thousands of criminals at the rally?
