They'll either tunnel under the fence or they'll simply hop on a boat and land on a beach somewhere.

Or they get a visitor Visa to visit Disneyland and drive through the checkpoint and just stay here.

The fence is just an eyesore. What we need is to just enforce the laws we have on the books.

We didn't need a 2000 mile fence when we enforced the laws. If we build a 2000 mile fence, then we will have less incentive to enforce the laws. The politicians will simply point to the fence and then claim that they have solved the problem and then there will be even less incentive to enforce the laws.

Part of these kind of issues are simply the MSM indirectly going after conservatives like Perry. They throw out an issue-any issue-and then sit back and watch conservatives self-destruct. I've see this happen time and again on social issues (abortion, illegal immigration, etc.) Divide and conquer. Does anyone think Romney will build a fence or even enforce illegal immigration laws?

I've become more and more convinced that if you focus on the fiscal end, the social end will take care of itself, simply because there won't be the money to do the social engineering. There won't be money to build fences, fund abortions, give money to illegals, pay people to do nothing, etc. The whole social engineering experiment will come to an end if you take away the money. That is what really frightens the liberals.
