Great post!
These are some of the most salient, ascerbic and acutely incisive points I have ever seen marshalled against the Adminstration's and the RATs policies in three concise sentences...[Victor Davis Hanson would be proud!]:
Where a real border is designed to keep out the bad of the world and let flow in all its good, our anti-border keeps out the good and drowns us in the bad.Where a real border is intended to politically define a distinct nation, our anti-border is intended to redefine that nation into something indistinct.
Where a real border is supposed to declare to the outsider and the would-be entrant, “Here begins a new set of laws,” our anti-border declares to them “Here begins whatever lawlessness you need to get by.”
Well, actually if the United States does not control its border, criminal organizations like M-13 will be glad to collect "taxes", baksheesh, protection, or "insurance" from people who want to cross.
This will assure that people who may desire to work honestly will be willing to take any criminal activity that comes their way. Most car dealerships in California pay some form of protection to organized crime: they have to, since they carry enough inventory that a few rocks could drive them out of business.
This is an email I just received:
Subject: Turn in employers who hire illegal aliens
U.S. BORDER CONTROL
Turn in employers who hire illegal aliens
Believe it or not, reports are starting to come in from all over the country that ICE is suddenly interested in learning about employers who hire illegal aliens. We are hearing that citizens who report employers who knowingly
are hiring illegal aliens, are getting a good response.
The new number to call to report employers who are knowingly hiring quantities of illegal aliens is (toll free): 1-866-DHS-2-ICE Apparently, after years of ignoring our calls it appears that the agency is putting on a new face, perhaps, for the new Congress. Whether this new initiative will be long-term or short-lived is anybody's guess. But the time to make those calls is now.
How it works: You are not required to provide your identity toICE. All that is necessary to request an investigation by ICE is mere suspicion of employers hiring illegals. But any kind of documentation or eye witness to such activities
only increases the odds that they will act.
Both ICE and the IRS are especially interested in "visiting" those businesses that employ ILLEGALS
"off the books" to avoid the payment of payroll taxes.Small and large businesses are equally notorious in the hiring of ILLEGAL aliens toavoid paying fair wages to its workers and to criminally evade the collection and payment of payroll taxes. Whether the business hires one ILLEGAL alien or several hundred, ICE and IRS want to know about it.
We would appreciate it if you would let us know how helpful or unhelpful ICE has been in taking your information and following up on your complaint.
And we will pass that information on to Congressmen who are monitoring their activities. Thank you.

Wow! Took 'em six years to reverse course to implement this. Six years lost.
Why try to fix it? Nothing is ever good enough.
