I wonder how many of those posting know the following: (1) In a given 12 month period 1.3 million illegals are apprehended and returned; (2)And, since 2005, the previous policy of returning illegals to the community to await trail has been averted because it now takes only 19 days instead of over 90 to process and deport an illegal.

Many are assuming nothing is being done. They are in error. In respect to the fence, remember in many areas of the US 40% of illegals got here legally—visas and shopping—and have just overstayed.

All of these problems would diminish appreciably with picture id; however, many of those crying, whining about not big enough a fence would appose such an id because of the “show me your papers” possibility. Finally, remember the long border with Canada and our extensive coastline. Those believing a simple fence will protect our borders are mistaken.

The bill does nothing to increase legal immigration, which is the only realistic way to decrease illegal immigration.

This statement alone is such an insult to our intelligence. The same argument was made in 1990, increase legal immigration to slow the illegals. So they doubled the numbers and what good did it do, since then illegal immigration has exploded because there's been enforcement and even the slightest of it brings out the whiners like Paul Gigot who have no problem hurling race bombs to stop it.

The cheap labor pimps could do us a big favor by moving to some country where everyone is packed in and where's little living space and tell us how much they like it. Until then they'll have to get it through their heads we can't take in the world for the sake of helping their portfolios.
