"Sorry, I believe in personal accountability. "
Me too. And that is why I consider this an American problem due to complete policy failure in dealing with these desperate illegal immigrants and occasionally serious violent criminals mixed in with them. We hung out the goodies and said come on over for decades. We said one thing and acted entirely different on the matter. That is the main source of accountiblity to me. Desperate people will behave in desperate ways especially when there is no enforcement of laws. That is no secret.
But bottom line now, It is damage control at this point.
The chance to have fixed it properly is long gone. All this rage and anger about it was needed twenty or thirty years ago. It's too late to make it the way it should have been, the dam has broke, there are no politicians with power enough or spine to put all the water back behind the dam.
I just want a new dam and fix the leaks at this point. stop the bleeding.
There has been plenty of rage and anger about this, all along the border states, for the past 20 or so years, but those cries have been largely ignored. Why? Because it was "limited" to the southern states/border towns and didn't bother people throughout the rest of the country because it wasn't affecting them. When it finally did, the politicans, media, and others began paying attention. Even now, however, many people claim it's not a problem. I think that's because 1) they aren't living near the border areas; or 2) the are personally benefitting from illegals.
Up until now, complaints from U.S. citizens along the border, and southern state areas, have been largely ignored. It does seem that either more violent criminals have been coming through, or the media can no longer ignore the crimes committed by illegals which the locals have been long reporting.
Either by choice or by chance, you missed my response to this and other claims you made:
