Note to Congressman Tom Tancredo: Announce your candidacy for President Monday morning!! Run on this platform of sealing the border from illegal entry. This National Security issue CAN NOT be ignored. Current border patrol operations are a total joke, the revolving door turns faster than the turnstyles as fans leave the Texas Rangers games in the 6th inning!! (hopeless cause!)
An open, declared challange to the President on this issue is the only way to bring this issue the attention it deserves. Politicians on both sides are afraid to touch it for fear of being labelled anti-Hispanic - but most Hispanics I know ( I live in Texas) don't like the idea of illegal immigration any more than other lawfull residents as they either were born here or emmigrated legally.
And securing the borders against terrorists is a safety issue affecting their families, too!
The President could not get up and say that the current system regarding "protecting our country's borders" is adequate - the guffaws could be heard all the way to Tampico, and I'm not talking about Ronald Regans birthplace, either!
He would then have to propose, or implement measures to tighten the borders (I'd rather see the Military here than in Bosnia!) Granted these measures would be less than ideal, but a step in the right direction is better than no step at all!
Let's hope Congressman Tancredo isn't proven right - for all our sakes, but we must be prepared - and the current system leaves us all too vulnerable, indeed.

Didn't GO PAT GO Buchanan try this about 11 years ago?
