Quote(Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, whose agency is charged with securing America’s borders, told an audience in Washington, D.C., in reference to the U.S.-Mexico border, “You’re never going to totally seal that border.”)
So in a similar vein to Joe Biden I guess they will sit on whatever laurels they imagine they have earned and do nothing further.
It's called being a realist.
It's never going to hold everyone off. Part of the reason it's getting so bad in Arizona is because the walls built elsewhere are sending people that direction. As soon as you close it off fully, they'll figure other ways around it. Hell, on the Gaza / Egypt border they've managed to disguise miles long tunnels large enought to drive through.
Build your walls, but until you get at the underlying reasons for it, you've only delayed entry a little bit.
The failure to recognize that is to put bandaids on a growing tumor and claiming to be cancer free.

If you had a leaky faucet would you close it as best you can so that only a little water gets through or do you let the water faucet run at full blast?

You send a few thousand marines to sweep and clear that park and to send anyone caught back to Mexico, caught or in body bags, and that will send a message...
Or am I looking at this wrong, and we should just invite them over, tell them to sign up for welfare and give them total amnesty for their courageous journey?

If you secure all of it then it will be hard for those with a strong financial motive to get through. If states enacted laws similar to those in Arizona and Oklahoma then there will be less incentive for people to come here illegally, If you severely punish those who hire illegals then there will be less incentive for people to come here illegally.It's not a leaky faucet. It's a two thousand mile border with a group of people that have a strong financial incentive to get across.
Its more of an excuse to not do their job. Its the you can't completely seal the border so we are not going to try to secure it or limit traffic through it.Commenting that it can't be totally sealed is being realistic, not a dereliction of duty.
You people really will take absolutely anything you can get wont you?
Short of a ten foot concrete wall with barbed wire across the entire thing you're not even going to make a dent in crossings.
You do not have to kill women and children to stop illegal immigration. All you have to do is secure the border, crack down on those who aid illegals and severely punish those who aid illegals, allow police to verify the legal status of those they pull over for a traffic offense, deny tax payer funded benefits and services to illegals and many other things.Now, who is willing to sign up. Sign up, to kill women and children because thats what it will take to stop the leaky faucet
I'm not sure this new campaign slogan "no, we can't" has quite the same ring as the old.
You have the right to secure your borders, but not to gun down innocent civillians who cross the border in a desperate attempt for a better life.
Actually any nation state has the right to secure their borders with the use of deadly force. By your logic the entire population of Mexico could decide to walk across the border and so long as they're unarmed we wouldn't be able to do a thing about it.
Deadly force from a deadly threat sure...
Are you seriously advocating the shooting of woman and children trying to cross the border?

All you have to do is secure the border, crack down on those who aid illegals and severely punish those who aid illegals, allow police to verify the legal status of those they pull over for a traffic offense, deny tax payer funded benefits and services to illegals and many other things.
So again using your logic the entire population of Mexico could cross the border tomorrow and we would only be left with non-lethal means to secure the border. :roll: Try again, any nation state has the right to execute the use of deadly force against anyone attempting to cross their border without permission regardless of if they are armed or pose a direct threat, exceptions would include refugees forced to flee due to conflict but that is not the case in this situation. "Trespassers shot on sight."
