"I don't foresee those problems going away, and even if we throw up a serious wall, illegals will still make their way in one way or the other. "

The idea is to massively reduce illegal immigration across the Mexican border to a trickle.
We have the resources, the technology and the smarts to do it. This county has mastered greater challenges.
What is lacking is the political will in the Bush administration.

One of the biggest deterents is to remove the financial/economic incentives. That means removing the ability of illegals to work, which means putting people that hire illegals into jail, and making them and their companies face serious jail time.

You will not find any politician willing to throw the upper management of some of the larger corporations who benefit from illegals, in jail.

I't more than the lack of will, securing the border is completely contrary to his agenda.

The House just opened. The Chaplin just said, in opening prayer,......
