what does that make the oversight committees of Congress, the members of INS, the Secretary of Homeland Security, etc who all should be upholding the Laws of our land.

Enablers. That's why it's so disheartening. They won't uphold our laws and it's their sworn duty.

My point is that there has been virtually no law enforcement toward convincing those uninvited to the USA that they should not stay.

I agree. :( How can the problem be solved if they don't see it as a problem.

Enablers is exactly the right word. Thanks, I will use it from now on.

They obviously wanted this labor pool in the US. Which is why I get mad at people who want to vent all their wrath on the illegals, and give the officials (not the Border Guards, but the Policy setters) a free pass, ignoring the years of their enabling behavior.
