#2 So, since Obamagod says it won't work better not try it and don't dare you succeed. (Or Else)

#3 "We have to demand responsibility from people living here illegally. They must be required to admit that they broke the law. They should be required to register, pay their taxes, pay a fine, and learn English," said Obama.
Amnesty and unlimited immigration, in other words. Where are my shoes?

#4 We can create a pathway for legal status that is fair, reflective of our values
We did that some time ago, you turkey. It's up to you to make it work, not to change it into something unrecognizable as an immigration policy.

#5 I seem to remember from a pre-pc history class that the U.S. Cavalry patrolled the border from the end of the Civil War until December 1941.

#7 "It won't work," he said.

And he'll prove it too by not building it.

I'll bet I could make it work.

#8 Since 1986, 7 million illegal aliens have been already given amnesty. In that time the illegal alien population exploded from 5M in 1986 to 8M in 2000 to today's 12M+.

Reward bad behavior and you get more of it. For something as attractive as a Green Card, a lot more.

#9 Fences and border patrols won't secure the border, but minefields and border patrolmen with live ammo and unrestricted ROE will. Like it or not, the Iron Curtain was a pretty effective border. If we WANT the border secure we CAN make it so.

Hadrian and the first emperor of China would disagree.

#13 
there are those who argue that we should not move forward

King of the Strawmen strikes again. You either agree with me or you want to do nothing.

#14 Yes, Shipman. There is was to keep them in rather than to keep them out.

So, how does that fence work around the White House? How about tearing it down, since it doesn't work, Oby?

#15 i agree tear the fence around the white house and take away the armed guards for a couple days. I think our prblem would go away rather quickly.

#17 Someone with Youtube skills could interpose the 'fences and borders won't work' followed by a photo of the White House with the line, 'Then Mr. Obama, tear this fence down!'.

#18 Come down on the employers and you remove a lot of the numbers crossing the border in the first place. Paint those that support the hiring of illegals as racists who want cheap stuff and are trying to create a race-based underclass. Use the border for military training on interdiction in the desert (as Iraq and Afghanistan have showed we could probably use training in this). Detail illegals in a tent city for a bit of time instead of giving them a free ride back to the starting line so they can try again right away. Find the Coyotes and drug smugglers and treat them harshly.

It's not rocket science, but it is about votes.

My father was one of those men. 1st Cavalry, Texas. He manned a machine gun nest set up on the Mexican/Texas border. Not just to prevent Mexican illegal immigration but to prevent Nazi's and Japs from infiltrating the U.S. from the Southern border since they were attacking everyone else around the world.

They got bored because the people on the other side of the border knew about the Cavalry and thier machine gun nests. A far cry from America today. To battle boredom they would go to surrounding caves and through a hand grenade into a cave to kill hundreds of rattle snakes and then practice their shooting by shooting snakes one by one as they came out of the caves.

The practice latter proved handy when the US entered WWII. He and his dismounts took out a lot of jap bunkers and japs the same way.

#23 Let's see he campaigned on a platform of "Hope and Change"

Now I see, he is offering Americans no Hope of stopping illegal aliens from entering America.

So he is refusing to enforce the law.

What a change.
