[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we not do anything to lock down the border? Mexican cartels are worse than ISIS. I’ve seen the ISIS videos and the cartel videos. Cartels are even more depraved. Yet democrats are fine with porous borders letting in whoever [/quote]

Republican with a tenuous grasp of geography:  The US-Mexican border is 2,000 miles long. It's like driving from DC to the New Mexico/Arizona border.

"Why do we not do anything to lock down the border?"  :D  :D  :D [/quote]

The point is, Democrats act like it’s not even an issue in the first place and they don’t want to do anything to dissuade them from coming illegally. Yes it’s a 2000 mile border but the USA is the world’s preeminent superpower. We are not unable, we are unwilling. The best way to stop them is to remove the incentive by not tolerating illegal immigration and punishing anyone here who economically aids and abets illegals. Make it economically untenable to employ illegal immigrants and the incentive to migrate here will go away. Easier said than done of course, but not impossible. There are political agendas in the way though.[/quote]

Yes republicans have done none of that. If the border is shut down Texas will will feel it. Trade with Mexico is worth $100.2 billion annually in Texas and 7 million jobs in the US and Mexico. This pipe dream of a closed border will never happen. No Texas governor will ever shut the border. They would be impeached within three days. Hell Texas governor pays lip service to closing the borders but does not enforce the laws. Got to wonder why? [/quote]
