Border security is the same ole canard they have been using for decades. The trouble is, they never define exactly what ‘security’ is.
Recall when GWB promised to enforce border ‘security’ with 6,000 troops. Well, as it turned out, those 6k were cycled in for short-term tours in groups of a few hundred at a time. They were not allowed to even carry weapons and their primary duties were washing Border Control vehicles and doing paperwork.
Border security is about like cutting government spending. We’ll do border security over a period of years, after 30 million get legalized now. We will cut spending over a period of years, after we get a new spending now. Both have been called the Wimpy Burger Scam: I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
My fear is that Obama and the democrats will go along with a very strict ‘border security’ component to amnesty and the Regime will ignore it after it passes.
Border security is hard to measure. There are no real metrics, which is why the amnesty supporters like to use it realizing that it can be defined anyway they want. And 40% of the 12 to 20 million lawbreakers came here legally and overstayed their visas. Border security is only part of the problem.
