It would be more cost effective to declare war on Mexico if they don't stop their invading hordes from entering our country.
This is a foreign invasion by a hostile foreign neighbor. They should stop their aggression towards our nation or be retaliated against as harshly as possible.

There is a difference in illegal alien and tourist.
Don't confuse the two, or look less intelligent... to the point of extreme ignorance.

If a tourist comes to the US, then doesn't leave, are they still a tourist? See how easy that is?

Are you trying to be funny or is this a serious question?

Really? So if huge group of uninvited people managed to scale the privacy fence, enter his home, and help themselves to his food and lodging, he'd just sit back and deal with it? He'd open his welcoming arms, offer to pay them to live, and to send their kids to school. I seriously doubt that. He's have them arrested immediately.

He should definitely make sure anyone that gets over the wall is offered a lifestyle similar to his own.

Obama likes to build walls around his house, maybe his paranoia is contagious.
