Just enforcing existing laws would almost eliminate illegal immigration.

By the way, there is no way to seal the border. Your side goes through this charade every 4 years or so. You can't seal that border without spending a gazillion dollars. Go down there, take a look. A fence won't work. It's not physically possible. As for smuggling bomb materials in, there's no fucking way a serious terrorist would cross that border. Too many other ways in that create less of a chance of being detained. I always love that argument too....like they've got to carry the "bomb materials" in on their backs. You've seen "Act of Valor" and other movies too many times. That is horseshit. Originally Posted by timpage

Actually we let them come here, put them on welfare, give them scholarships, then sit around looking stupid while we try to figure out why they bombed us.
when the gubment does something to help them stop that the right pitches a bitch, then pitches a bitch about those pesky borders and smugglers

Scrape the Senate bill. Enforce existing laws; and illegal immigration goes down by more than double !!!!!!!! Originally Posted by Whirlaway
