"That border can be closed with additional technology and manpower, just ask anyone who actually works in border patrol or ICE. They've posted that fact a thousand times on these threads."
Sure, just grab all the National Guard back from Iraq and station them on the border FOREVER - that will save our economy. Any estimate of the yearly cost of your plan ?
Sure it can be done, by converting US into a perpetual state of martial law with a Berlin wall on our south end, and that dosen't get us back to Qzzie and Harriet either...
"They've posted that fact a thousand times ..."
Oh, that settles it, it's been posted a thousand times by people claiming they know what they are talking about so it MUST be true.
If you want to go on believing that a nation which sent men to the moon 35 years ago cannot control a border that's your prerogative, but what I suspect is you don't really want to see that happen, you prefer millions of people pouring in and enjoy making excuses for them.
