The others have had a walk on the subject and it would be interesting to hear what they have to say...most of them have never been to the border...and Santorum probably went to El Paso!
It's sad that we can't enjoy going across the border for dinner like in the good old days. I went to the dog races across the border from El Paso once.
Maybe you can convince Lamar Smith to run instead, he does not mess around when it comes to illegal immigration. I actually agree with him on the agricultural guest worker program, provided it’s strictly enforced and e-verify passes. Eisenhower did something similar in the 1950s and it worked out well enough without the chaos we have today.
