Thus, the flood of children will continue. There is no way to "secure" the borders without damaging property interests on the US side. What do you suggest? A steel wall hundreds if miles long? How much are we going to increase taxes to pay for this? ? How will does US business export goods to Mexico, and Central America? No wall, How many feet apart will the guards be stationed, and how much will easements from landowners cost?
State a plan to secure the border without infringing on property rights and trade.
There are Engineers that can design a virtual wall without infringing on any property rights. When the present border guards are relieved of hauling and caring for thousands of illegals they will be able to patrol the areas that are suspect. The cost of caring for 10's of thousands of children is going to increase taxes more than securing the border.
I suggest that Obama grow a pair and convene a meeting with his Sec of State and Defense with the representatives of ALL of the Central American countries that are knowingly sending their women and children to the US. They need to be told that they are morally and financially liable for the expense the US is paying for all of these immigrants and they will pay up or suffer the consequences.

Where did I hear that?
