The only border security that means anything is when aliens don't want to cross it. That means punishment at the border when they try, and punishment when they try to take a job away from a citizen, and punishment when they get caught. All these things are available now, just as they were when Harry and Ike were president. We can have border security in 24 hours with 3 words out of Barry's mouth. "Enforce immigration laws". Any talk of security, or triggers, or time to do this or that is persiflage intended to deceive those who trust the gov't. Just how much chicanery does it take before there is some sort of effective protest from the working stiffs? Either in the voting booth, or torches, pitchforks and lamppost decorations.

Detroit/Chicago border to border and shore to shore. Any black folks who are curious enough to wonder about the results of voting for Barry's gov't style need only look at how black folks live in Detroit.

My thoughts exactly.

Barry's stance on Baipa proves he is some sort of monster. Satanic Barbarian is as good a description as any.

Townhall, this guy is one big shill for gold purchase. He is no better than the posters who try to sell cheap clothes mail order, or talk about making $7500/week from the kitchen. Get rid of him.

When seconds count, the cops are only 15 minutes away.

Dodge this, Marco. Hasta la vista, Nino.

But it didn't stop people from defeating it. Granted, it slowed down the rush, since virtually everybody wanted to leave East Berlin. And what do you think a 2000 mile wall like that would cost? And what would my proposed solution cost?

Good morning pow1000, The EU seems to be 4 or 5 years ahead of us in bailout city. It looks more and more like the worker bees are getting tired of bailing out the drones. I wonder if something similar will take place here, as solvent states will be asked to bail out the like of Ca, Il and RI? At the very least, it could amount to a huge shakeup in congress if irate taxpayers punish representatives who waste good money throwing it after bad. Wouldn't that be grand?

"Border Security" as currently used by congress is a red herring intended to deceive the unwary. BS is not achieved by a fence. East Germany tried to secure a wall only 90 miles long, manned by thousands of guards virtually shoulder to shoulder, without success. Border security is achieved when no body wants to cross it. That means E-verify for jobs, stiff penalties for law breaker employers, jail time for false IDs, and interning in Alaska for second offenders. As Katie says, if they want border security, they can have it anytime, just as Ike and Harry did. The 1986 amnesty proved congressional promises are worth no more than those Lucy gives Charlie Brown. If Rubio believes those promises and talk of triggers and such BS, he is either stupid or venal. There is no middle ground.
