We do. We need to secure both borders, our ports and airspace. But the fact is that most illegal entry is coming through our southern border therefore that is one focused on.

Default Mexicali blues

The illegals pour into here because it's horrible where they are coming from! Clearly deporting illegals is the way to go and securing our borders is the way to go. Making it all but impossible to work here as an illegal would also help as you would lose much of the incentive to risk coming into the US illegally. They come here not because they wish to be Americans but because it's financially prudent to do so.

The "melting pot" that the US has been since it's beginning only works if the immigrants assimilate into an American way of life. Way back when people were pouring into Ellis Island, they went out of their way to become Americans. Many did not even teach their children their native languages primarily because they wanted them to be Americans and assimilate into American culture! Immigrants these days wish to come here for purely economic reasons and essentially bring their cultural aspects along with them, making where they are here nothing more than a "satellite" of their country of origin!

These Mexicans pouring in want to basically expand Mexico or have things here nothing more than a little "satellite" of Mexico, making this place just as crappy as the sh*thole they came from! Go hang in Dearborn, Michigan for a day! The Muslims have a little "satellite" of the sh*thole they came from there from what I hear! These people have no desire to assimilate into American culture, no desire to learn the language, no desire to go beyond their particular native customs and give it enough time... we will no longer have an American culture and way of life!

You want to live here, immigrate legally, learn the language and don't try to set up an enclave of the place you came from! You like the place you came from so much go BACK there and make it a better place instead of coming here to "live off the fat of the land" and increase your numbers here sufficiently to make it into the same dirt-poor crappy place you came from!

As the world population increases yet the finite global resources remain the same there will come a "tipping point" that strict immigration law enforcement will be critical for the perpetuation of our great nation, our culture, our resources, our way of life. This is like a balloon that you keep pumping air into; It's inevitable that it will break eventually and no one seems to understand this concept. Will our great grandchildren look back upon us as being completely stupid and oblivious to obvious outcomes?
