You left out the MEXICAN boarder, Their YOU GO TO JAIL. The U.S. should just adopt the MEXICAN Law for illegal entry. This would be Fair and Would STOP the problem, and for the politically correct it would be hard to call it racist or profiling or anti anything.

Me too. Is the suggestion here that the U.S. should be like Korean, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, etc....? I always thought our country was great because we did have open borders and followed our own lead, not the lead of some of the most repressive countries in the world.

Noone said having open borders was easy, most people and countries that have higher standards like the U.S. work harder to keep those standards in place because that is what it takes...hard work. Locking down the borders is easy, honoring the history and tradition of this great country and its open borders...now that is the hard part. I never knew my country to take the easy way out and follow the lead of some of the worst countries in the world.

Do you not know which way our elected officials are dragging this country or do you not follow current events?

Big difference is that in America the party that truly is not the majority party wants to become the majority party so they will pander to anyone who will help them. Right now it is illegal Mexican immigrants. Really really seems like treason to me, but what do I know, I am just a taxpayer.

My identity has been stolen!

Not stolen, merely co-opted! We are a dying breed too!
