We could fire every current border patrol agent and replace them with the minutemen and have billions left over to spend on all the wall.
How about these self important border patrol agents explain why 18 unarmed guys do more to stop illegal immigration in one month than the 1000s of agents we currently employ who seem utterly incapable of identifying ANY location where rampant illegal border crossings are occurring?
Frankly, I think these "employ me for a lifetime" border patrol incompetants are the real reason nothing is happening.
Where's the fence?
Wrong. They shouldn't be elected at all.

Shameful and outrageous. No, border security cannot be done on the cheap.
Simcox's wallet?
Time to start voting the SOB's out of office.
"Tex"? Is that you?
Sorry, pard. Simcox is just a citizen activist, petitioning his government for redress.
It is the Congress and the President who raised their right hand and swore to protect the country and its people.
George W. Bush could solve this problem in a month.
Simply declare the situation a clear and present danger to the security of the USA, which it obviously is, and throw the available resources of our military into the fight. Oh, and start enforcing the laws on the books concerning employing illegals.
But unfortunately, they're more concerned with the Iraq/Iran border than they are with our own.
IF is a big word, I hope.
It's a mixed legacy as I support what he's done and is doing in other areas.
But this could sadly be the achilles heel.
All he needs is a good caging company, right?
BINGO BUMP! The Republicans in the senate with the exception of a few hard core Conservatives are nothing more than political pimps looking for votes. RINO to the core in each case. WORTHLESS!
There have been more murders done by criminals who overstay their visas and or those who just invade our country than occurred during 911.
Because they occur by ones or fives or so, they seem to have less impact than 911 but these Americans are just as dead and their families are just as torn up.
Anybody who aids or abets these criminals are guilty of these murders also.
No. All he needs is the will to do so.
I see the two senators from Nebraska... The dem votes for it & that puke Hagel votes against it. Why do you Huskers keep that loser in office?
There you go again. Don't you know the Founding Fathers were wrong when they made senators appointed by states so senators would protect state's rights?
How much fence has FedGov put up this year; parkie?
The FedGuv is trying to pass law regarding the border, do you support any version?
How many tools did Simcox defraud, weezley?
House bill as is. No pence, no senate bill or no bill at all.
Well, enjoy your no bill. ;)
