Like Jorge is really wanting to do anything about the border but keep is wide open. So, exactly what will Fred do for us if he’s elected?

Build the d*mn fence. There are too many miles of border for mere border patrolmen to be effective.

Unfortunately, it’s not at all clear our government is committed to its first responsibility: the protection of our borders.

... border security plays a key role in both the interdiction of illegal drugs and in defending America against terrorist threats. Weak borders allow terrorists and smugglers, as well as millions of illegal aliens, easy entrance to the United States. Unfortunately, it's not at all clear our government is committed to its first responsibility: the protection of our borders.BP eyes terrorism, area chief declares [not illegal immigrants or narcotics]
Border Patrol agents dont have the responsibility of apprehending illegal immigrants, Carlos X. Carrillo, chief patrol agent for the Laredo sector, said at a town hall meeting Wednesday."The Border Patrol is not equipped to stop illegal immigrants," Carrillo said, noting that illegal narcotics are also not on the agents priority list. "The Border Patrol mission is not to do any of those things," he emphasized.
The Border Patrols mission is to keep the country safe from terrorist and terrorist weapons, he said.

Build Duncan Hunter’s fence!
Hunter authored the bill for THE fence from California thru Texas, which was signed into law.
Duncan Hunter also had a fence built which stopped drug trafficking and crime in San Diego.

I guess if he knew by now, he surely would have taken this opportunity to tell us.
Have you heard about Duncan Hunter’s plan for securing the border? An effectively secured border fence completed in 6 MONTHS!!! Hunter doesn’t just talk the talk either, he’s walked the walk...

I'm sure when Fred is Pres, he'll put Hunter in charge of getting it done.
Sounds like a plan to me.
