The security of the United States of America is in the hands
of some very incompetent people who have no idea what's
going on along the border

I hope soon we will see some accountability from the policy
makers in DC as to why for them this is not an issue that
is a of the most important to our National Security

If someone or something slips through their bigger problem
will become the American Citizen

The problem with our security is it is being managed by people who insist everything be PC.
We can't just focus on the southern border because then Mexico will feel singled out.
We can't come out and say that its the southern border thats the problem because then Mexico will call us racists.

We've GIVEN Mexico EVER chance and then some

The only reason they pull this kinda stuff is that they
are fully aware their record is not that great so they
try to side step the real issues

ILLEGAL is still ILLEGAL !

Since July 1, 2010, some 50+ bodies (of illegals) have been found in the Arizona desert. They died from heat related issues.

Actually they died from a number of issues.
1. Stupidity
2. Entitlement mentality
3. Lack of fore thought
4. lack of respect for our laws.
5. Lack of respect for nature
6. The biggest mistake The grass is greener on the other side.

We have 50,000 plus soldiers guarding the border between North Korea and South Korea for the last 60 years.I think its about time to leave and let them take care of their own problems. Bring these soldiers home and secure our own borders.

If you're going along with the article's 650/day number then why not also use their 10.8 million illegals estimate instead of the inflated/doubled 20 million favored by the right wing?
