My dad cut his “learn how to be a Border Patrol officer” teeth in Operation Wetback in Texas in the early 1950’s. He was a WWII vet. My first memories are living in a small West Texas town, where the four Border Patrol families comprised the majority of the population. He worked near his dad, who joined the Border Patrol in 1928 in North Dakota. My grandfather, a WWI vet, retired in Yuma, AZ, where he is buried. Dad died in Portland, ME, his last duty station as a Criminal Investigator for the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
I had the privilege to serve as an Immigration Inspector in the 70’s and early 80’s.
Illegals can and should be arrested, tried and deported. Same goes for those who knowingly employ illegal aliens, although they should serve time in prison instead of being deported. We don’t deport American citizens.
Enforcing our immigration laws is not an impossible task. America has done it before, and can do it again. All it takes is will power and the human resources to get it done.
And build the fence. Support those who protect our borders. We are a nation of laws. We have become a nation for the lawless.
I left the Immigration & Naturalization Service, in part, because I don’t suffer fools well (a disposition that was apparently genetically transmitted to me through my dad from my grandfather). Three of my five supervisors (in my career) were fools. When we elect fools and hire fools to run our law enforcement services, the outcome is predictably not good.
I’m in my late 60’s. And I know that even I, who hasn’t worn a badge in about four decades, could find and arrest between half a dozen to a dozen illegals per day, given the opportunity. The better trained and equipped younger men (and women) could easily meet or exceed that standard.
What America needs are leaders with the will to do what must be done to protect America, American jobs and workers and our American way of life. We are a nation of exceptional people who have built a unique, exceptional country. We can do this.
I shopped the (imo) pricey Whole Foods grocery store, and, on my way home stopped in Walmart, recently.
Nothing but illegals....speaking nothing but español, on just about EVERY aisle, of BOTH stores.
I’ve also noticed the driving/drivers have gotten MUCH worse in the past 6 - 8 mos.
Thanks, 0zika, for letting my tax $$ pay to IMPORT, feed, clothe, house, educate and provide medical care for your third wold imports.
We had no vote, no say in this invasion.

I agree with and appreciate you (entire) post. Men like your and my dad, granddad are a rarity, these days.
Our Reps are completely bought and paid with Cheap Labor Express/Globalist $$. Our media is completely owned.
It’s a tough, uphill battle with very few soldiers willing to fight on that hill....let alone even go into the battle :(
The problem then takes care of itself.
“Limbaugh sets up the same straw man as the liberals do by talking about there being a storm-trooper like mass deportation force breaking down doors and rounding people up (complete with comparisons to Storm Troopers or Gestapo).”
Yeah, he’s been real bad about repeating Leftwing talking points. He’s not fooling anyone other than himself with his nonsense. Just when you think he’s quit doing this garbage he goes right back to it.
Very good post.
In today's GOP establishment, even Gerald Ford would be considered a dangerous "extreme nativist," if not an outright "racist." How did America drift so far to the Left on the National question?
