Left out of the article is the fact that our political elites think of themselves (with rare exceptions) as cosmopolitan sophisticates. For such people the most dreaded word of all is the R word.
Defense of our borders is immediately equated with racism by the major media.
That alone is enough to freeze them from taking even the most restrained measures to deal with the issue.

I think you would have a fair amount of that - due primarily to the the PResident's attitude toward it - and his encouragement of it. If he had come into the WH and began doing what needed to be done, there would have been no room for this. But all his time int he WH and the continued open border with more and more sob stories in the media - it will have some traction.

But not enough to stop it if the PResident wanted to do what was right.

Now we can sit here and talk about his not having a majority in congress, we can say he would be called a racist, we can say he has other things to do,e tc., etc., - the fact is, all he has to do is implement the laws we have. Post 9/11, we could have sealed the borders and no amount of media screaming would have made a difference. Instead, we did token gate-keeping (like that is where they are coming through) and we got big time lectures on 'tolerance' and threats if we weren't tolerant.

No, whether anyone will admit it or like it - there is one man who can do something about it and he could make big changes in a matter of weeks. He simply does not want to and his cheerleaders have to admit it.
