If you do a multi prong approach most would self deport. You can't catch them all but you can catch all you can. The reason you can't do it is because too many Americans hate this country and would rather give it away as I stated earlier. You can't kill all the rats but you wouldn't just leave them be because of it - you kill what you can. Others get the message and scurry around. I'm tired of these illegals with their chest stuck out like we owe them something. Enforce the laws where you can when you can. You ignored my ? earlier. Do you think we should enforce our laws?
No, I did not ignore your question.
We do enforce our laws to the best of our ability. In fact, we have set records the last two years running for enforcing our laws. However, anyone that stops to think for a moment can't help but realize that more enforcement is not going to make the sort of impact you seem to want. If more enforcement could cause you to see vast improvements, you already would have. We have RECORD levels of enforcement and instead of recognizing the monumental efforts we have made and the ton of money we have spent and the best results ever.... instead, you and your ilk swallow the pack of lies the politicians sell you and speak as if we are doing the worst job ever... when the exact opposite is true: we are doing the best job ever... BUT, you are RIGHT in one aspect: it's not enough. And it never will be. The numbers just don't lie. You will never see anymore of an impact on illegals numbers, due to enforcement, then you have ever seen an impact on speeders, due to enforcement. It's the same logistical game. Too many of them to do anything about. So.... do you keep hiring cops until there is a cop for ever three cars on the road? Or do you install speed bumps?
The facts are that we have never and will never enforce the border with man power. Can't be done. It's not sustainable. You simply can't patrol thousands of square miles of desert forever at the level it takes to be even 50% effective, and ever pay for it. It'll break us in ten years, before even 3 million are gone.
Look, I can't over power your brain from the people who are using you and everyone else to leverage this issue as a tool. But that's what you have to figure out if you want to lead your officials to do something rather than have them lad you on this wild goose chase. Jan Brewer and Joe Arapio and the rest know they can't make a dent in this thing with cops. But they also know that it's a great issue to rattle cages with. The illegals are on the border for a few hours or a day at most, when they cross it. They are on the job EVERY SINGLE DAY at the same plant, dressing chickens. But you guys let these politicos distract you from the chicken plant and look at the border where we can't be effective, never have been in 200 years. We know where these people are and we know how to make them leave.
But go ahead.... elect these people who are going to blow your money on more men and equipment while their campaign donors stand behind the border patrol waving dollar bills at poor people. You will NEVER see results in your lifetime from enforcement any better than you have already seen. We've topped out on reasonable enforcement levels. The only effective thing left is to take the jobs. Why not? It cost us next to nothing. Do yo think we're supposed to keep on with "dare" situation of "if you can make it across the border, you're home free.... cause we won;t touch your boss once you get here..." ? Is that the proposition you want to keep? Cause it's working like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.
