There is NO law that we "fully enforce" - there are always limited resources for instance. That doesn't means Senators are not interested in securing the border - you simply disagree about how best to do that. Also, you are going to have to explain how you think REPUBLICAN Senators are "buying votes" especially if said votes are presumably going to be Democratic "with a decidedly leftist tilt favoring more and bigger government."

Of course not, but no one is going to tell me that reducing the flow of illegals from over 1 million per year to less than 100k per year is going to be prohibitively costly.

If they're so interested in securing the border, why have they waited this long to act? It's not as if this problem is new, and it's not as if everyone's been ignoring it until recently.

Large numbers of congressmen have been attempting to call their attention to it for over a decade. Border state voters have been attempting to do something about it on their own since 1994, only to be foiled by the courts. For crying out loud, the Senate and our panderer in chief ignored it even in the face of 9-11. And only now are they finally doing something about it? Forgive me if I doubt their sincerity.

Furthermore, if they're so interested in securing the border, why are they holding border security hostage to their desire to amnesty illegals and double (perhaps triple) the rate of unskilled legal immigration?
