Nonsense.

The point is the problem needs to be addressed, congress could at least have a debate rather than waiting until after the next election because this problem is not going away.
Yeah, build the wall.

Oh, and closing the borders is cheap and easy.

How do you close the borders, the southern border states, Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, no cheap or easy.

We should continue with deportation but that also comes at a price and should not be viewed as a solution.

The LACK of enforcing the laws against illegal aliens IS an injustice to Americans who do work for a living.

Face reality, liberal freaks are nothing but lawless scum, and Congress does not deal with lawless scumbags like Obama.
So......Much......PROPAGANDA in your post it is not even worth giving an honest reply to.

Build a wall across the entire southern border, what about bodies of water?

Well, just because you're lawless doesn't mean that society is, and just because you have fanatically stupid ideas doesn't mean we should bend to please you.

For some reason there doesn't seem to be very many sneaking into Canada even though their border is less secure than ours.

Why is that? You can't take advantage of the benefits afforded to it's citizens. You don't need to build a wall, you just need to turn off the benefits.

The BS meter is pretty much off the scale with the "we can't trust enforcement", if that's the case do they want until 2016, 2020 or just wait for the next time they win a presidential election.



Immigration activists threaten GOP political payback

Is having foreigners coming across our borders illegally a critical problem?
