Border patrol overwhelmed... Border Patrol Chief: Agents Are Warming Burritos, Buying Baby Wipes November 30, 2016 | Unaccompanied children and families from Central America continue to pour across the U.S. border illegally because they know they will be released into the interior of the country, Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan told Congress on Wednesday.

Mayor: 10,000 Cops Cant Enforce Federal Immigration Law on 500,000 Illegal Aliens, Even If They Wanted To November 30, 2016 | National Public Radio reported last week on Los Angeles status as a sanctuary city -- one of a number of American cities where authorities refuse to enforce federal immigration laws by allowing law enforcement to check on the legal status of residents. In that Nov. 24 interview, Mayor Eric Garcetti said it would be hard to enforce the law, even if he wanted to.
Not enough agents, not enough of a wall, why? Those in control of this country don't want to stop the flow of illegal aliens. Why? Because illegal aliens work for dirt cheap wages or are paid under the table, they have no legal rights to complain about working conditions, they can't collect on unemployment, employers don't need to provide medical or other benefits. The fact that both Republican and Democratic presidents have failed to make any real efforts to stop illegal immigration shows that both parties are controlled by a single elitist group. It's the same in other countries all over the world. It's why the elitists are letting illegals flood into Europe. They want cheap labor who have few rights or benefits. It will be very interesting to see if Trump actually builds a wall or increases the number of border agents. If he doesn't he's just one of them also. We might as well have elected Clinton. Our country can allow in lots of immigrants each year. We all came from someplace else but we can't just allow the flood gates to open to unending illegal immigration like what has occurred in the past 30 years.
The solution is not walls or more agents. Turn off the jobs and benefits and they will stop coming. Those here will leave.
Juanvaldez - So perfectly stated ! The reason they keep coming is that the jobs and benefits are allowed to grow through the control exerted by the ruling elite in this country who want as many illegal aliens as possible. This forces down wages and employee rights because illegal people have few rights under the law. We can allow lots of people into our country. We all came from somewhere else. But no country can survive when it's inundated by millions of illegal individuals. But the ruling elites are not concerned about maintaining the US but rather their focus is more control, more power, more money at the expense of everyone else.
Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. LOL ROTFLMAO. For more than FIFTEEN YEARS I'v been in this debate since the anti- immigrant / build the wall / Homeland (IN) Security wannabes from the Tea Party jumped ship on those civilian militias that donated their time to help protect private land on the border. I've been damn near crucified for making the above post - that includes having my house shot into while I was at home (and the dude that did it used to post here.) Had the anti-immigrant lobby stayed the Hell at home a decade and a half ago, we'd have had this won. Now they've gutted the Constitution, created the ultimate POLICE STATE - and we're back to where we were before the anti-immigrant lobby screwed this country over royally. Thank you very much.
