I just can't figure out what he's doing. We actually lived in Midland when he did (have a funny story about my youngest son literally running into him at the YMCA one day). I always thought alot of the family, but, I honestly can't say I agree with his stance on illegal immigration.

I don't like a lot of what goes on with Illegal Immigrants and feel it could be better managed but to lay everything on the President's shoulders would ignore the fact that there are enormous years of legal restraints put on many Presidents. I would like to see a fence but that would fall into a budgetary issue that must be approved by congress. We have laws but to have laws with teeth is also a congressional issue. DHS should do more on their end of enforcement but there has to be a balance of reality to what they really can do. To put a full fence up around the whole border, north and south, would cost about $10-$15 Billion and that's not something the President has in his petty cash fund but I support one none the less.

What will happen when Mexico refuses to allow the return of these illegals?
