Only Ted can cut through the crap and point out the obvious. 

Guess what.  No fence or wall is going to work unless you have the will to enforce that security.  A physical barrier is not enough, they will go over, go under or around or even through.  Heck, they could swim around.

As long as being here is better then being there, they will come.  The sanctuary city movements that draw the illegals, as well as the jobs they can get no questions asked make this an attractive prize.  As long as we keep the carrot dangling, the mule will come.  Period.

And here is the reality check:  We don’t have the guts to do what would work.  Will we do what the Russians or Koreans did?  Will we mine the border and kill the people infiltrating it?  Will we set up machine gun nests and blow them away?  No, and frankly while that would certainly work, I cannot say I am unhappy we won’t but we won’t even impose sanctions on Mexico, whose government facilitates the flow of illegals.

So in the end we do a lot of useless feel good things.  Granted some of the alternatives are horrendous, but there are plenty that are reasonable:

• Sanctions on Mexico. 
• Severe fines on employers wo hire ilelgals.  
• Felony convictions and hard time for any illegals caught.  Heck set up chain gangs and make them build the damn wall.  
• Immediate arrest and deportation of people overstaying visa’s.
• Loss of Federal Highway funds to Sanctuary cities.
• Immediate denial of social services except in life threatening situations.

In other words, make being here illegal so uncomfortable that it is unpalatable.

How hard is that to understand?
