What is the point of having a border patrol if all unauthorized entrants have to do is escape detection until they're past an arbitrary line north of the border? What is the point of having laws prohibiting entry into our country without permission if enforcement of those laws is deliberately hobbled by the bureaucrats and officials whose ostensible duty it is to enforce the laws?

Policies like this---which are aided and abetted by both major national political parties---do not simply undermine national security and the war on terror. They also undermine the rule of law itself. How can so many Republicans huff and puff at the perjury of Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones case and yet wink at the illegal immigrant invasion from Mexico? Why are native born Americans held strictly to revenue and taxation laws, paying money they earn to support social services for illegal entrants, who are often hired on a cash basis and who often don't pay the taxes others have to (sending it to Mexico instead, to the tune of $10 billion a month)? If illegal entrants don't have to obey laws enacted for our benefit as citizens, why should we be compelled to obey laws that wind up benefitting illegals?

Think of all the employers who get to EVADE a whole host of payroll taxes by BREAKING FEDERAL LAW in hiring these invaders. Imagine having a business where you can pay minimal wages to your workers knowing full well the Amercian suckers...oops, taxpayers are forced to subsidize those workers housing, food, medical, etc. What a great deal!!!

Also, the true answer to this open borders fiasco could very well be found by studying the FTAA or Free Trade Area of the Americas, which is the next stage of NAFTA and will essentially turn this whole hemisphere into a trading bloc ala the EU. Only question is whose Constitution will be in force? Who gets to pay for all this "integration"...one guess. What type of gov't apparatus will be in place and will it be regional or one big superstate? Lotsa questions....
