If they wanted to really do something all they have to do is enforce the laws on the books.
If something bad enough happens you watch they can stop the flow, start rounding up and shipping out those illegals that don't start running for the border in a matter of a few days and weeks.
The sad thing is that's what it's going to take and the blood is going to be on the hands of this administration.
We've already had 9/11 to lay at the feet previous leaders including President Clinton, his Democratic comrades and the Republican congress, everything after 9/11 belongs to President Bush and this Republican Congress.
What about each state protecting its own border? Build a wall if they want, have state National Guard troops to patrol, electric fences, anything their minds can think of to stop the flow of ILLEGAL immigrants.
Could just about guarantee that the citizens & representatives of each border state would get it done a lot sooner than Congress.
Do the states not have any powers to protect their borders?
BUMP
A wall or fence is useless when those who get over it are treated as kings by the government, given medical aid and social security that citizens are not allowed to get, and can work for high wages but not have to pay taxes. When they are caught breaking the law, they are not punished but given a free ride over the border to try again.
Stop treating criminals like kings, and you will not need a wall, start punishing criminals as criminals and you will not want a wall, they will stream the other way.
Damn, just loose the IRS on them for not paying their taxes, they will scream foul!
At least the dorks in DC admit to it now.
We've been screaming about illegal immigration since the 80's, and telling them about the "OTM" paraphernalia we find in the desert since the 90's.
Lessee what happens now...
A thin lead curtain would suffice.
