#1 "We lack the political will to enforce the law and allow our agency to be effective..."

As by design

#2 I'd like to tell these guys to hang in there because we have an election coming up. But I'm not hopeful about the results.

#3 Just build the damned barrier fence. That should slow the flow enough to where patrols can be effective. The fence, like any good military combat engineering item, is not aimed at preventing movement completely, but raising the cost and difficulty to where movement across the zone is minimized. This means casual crossers would be deterred, leaving high value targets as the ones trying to cross. This dries up the flood of illegals that the really bad guys depend on to mask their movements. And these are the ones we need to be targeting anyway, as a matter of security.

#4 ....but raising the cost and difficulty to where movement across the zone is minimized.

..and like natural terrain, be used to channelize movement into specific routes.

#5 The f'n BP should stop harassing Americans 75 miles from the border and accusing them of felonies that aren't in the criminal record. The BP has lost my support. Thugs. No, Mexicans.
