If you are a Republican, I believe you don't give a shit about closing the border and you are only bringing this up because it's a good wedge issue.
If you are independent or democrat or even a sincere republican, i agree we need to close down our borders and get illegals out of here. Then let back in what we need as LEGAL tax paying documented legal aliens.
Bleeding heart liberals may be defending illegals, but it is the illegal employers that are the real problem. So half of the GOP wants illegals out, and the other half want them to stay because it lowers wages and saves consumers money. To hell with middle class wages. Rich people want cheap good and services. Hell, even my middle class neighbors shop at Walmart and hire illegal mexican women to clean their homes or cut their grass or lay cement.
We are a nation of sellouts.
