I work with an individual who recently came to our agency (the one I work for) from the border patrol. He got out because so much of what he was seeing was nothing more than window dressing by the politicians to try and appease the Americans citizens who are fed up with the problem, but were not efforts that would actually fix the problems.

His own words are that the National Guard missions on the border to this point are a joke. He finally decided he had to get him and his family away. It is a sad thing when decent, hard-working, honest, and patriotic, committed Americans like this individual develop such a jaundiced view of the politicians efforts...but the attitude he has developed in not un-deserved.

My bold, which is the crux of the problem. The Dems eventually saw the light, at least a little political light, on gun control. At some point one party or the other, I wouldn't presume it will be the R's, will decide the anti-illegal vote just might outweigh contributions from the business community and the support of pundits.
