"Standing within sight of Mexico, President Obama declared Tuesday that we have strengthened border security beyond what many believed was possible, in his latest attempt to rally support for a proposal that would create a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
They wanted more agents at the border. Well, we now have more boots on the ground on the Southwest border than at any time in our history, he said at the Chamizal National Memorial, a park here that is named after a 1963 agreement between the two countries and flies U.S. and Mexican flags.
The president accused Republicans of constantly looking to move the goal posts on what constitutes securing the border.
Maybe theyll need a moat, he said, generating laughter from a crowd of more than 1,000. Maybe they want alligators in the moat.
"Alligators have a variety of successful adaptations to their ecological niche that have allowed these reptiles to remain almost unchanged for 200 million years."

You have the choice of American Alligators or Chinese Alligators.
"Alligators have a variety of successful adaptations to their ecological niche that have allowed these reptiles to remain almost unchanged for 200 million years."
How 'bout that.... "remain almost unchanged for 200 million years."
They certainly do sound Republican-friendly!!!

"Saul Alinsky taught that the price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative," said John J. Pitney Jr., a government professor at Claremont McKenna College who once worked for House Republicans, quoting the famed U.S. community organizer. "Republicans had a successful attack in 2010. Now they're finding that it's hard to unite around a constructive alternative."
For Republicans, the predicament highlights the difficulty of translating campaign idealism into governing principles, a lesson often cited by President Obama and his supporters. But conservatives who oppose compromise are adding to the Republican difficulties."
