In the absence of federal action, border crime has risen sharply in the last decade and will only get worse, according to statistics provided to congressional leaders by frustrated Arizona authorities.

So, what does the "United" States do in response? It starts yammering about "comprehensive immigration reform."

America has declined to the point it can't even defend its own borders. Is there any greater piece of evidence showing this country is in a steep decline?

Its not can't its won't. Get a group of your neighbors togther and defend your property on the border and see how fast the feds show up to imprison you. As a matter of fact that may be the only way to get a federal agent to visit the some parts of the border.

Exactly right and it's pathetic. Every single illegal alien should be deported and then write and enforce laws for legal immigrants...period. Make it so any further illegals cannot work, cannot get welfare or any type government assistance and they won't come, at least not in any numbers.
