Honestly, I think you can look at any administration and that's been the blind spot.
I honestly think that any President is too sheltered from the issue to actually do anything about it.
It needs to be the states, or the Congress and the President could get behind that, but there has been little if anything done on that front.
The Southwestern states are beginning to get behind it, and they need our support. If for no other reason than because those coming here illegally are Breaking the Law. You and I could not thumb our noses at any law and get away with it for long, so why should anyone else make a mockery of our laws? I know GWB has a lot on his plate. But sometimes you just have to get back to the basics. I remember thinking on 9/11, "ok, the first thing they will do is secure that southern border". I'm still waiting.
