Why has our government failed (both Republican and Democrat) to secure our Borders?

Question

We have over 12 million people living in the country. Why can't they see that the security of our country is at stake here?

Answer 1

Very simple...politics. All of the minority lobbies have their bases convinced immigration reform is racism. No one wants to lose any votes.

Answer 2

I believe most of the nation's problems, including that, has to do with the lack of updated and revised laws. They really don't include or make room for the human sense of common sense. Sometimes what makes us Americans weak in America makes others from other countries, like Mexico, stronger. Sure, we have admendments and such, but it doesn't do much for the law itself. We pretty much need another revolution, but just for the government. A brother of a friend of mine was just sent to jail after driving some kids around their neighborhood, because they wanted to steal some beer from houses who left their garage doors open. He was the only 18 yr old (he just turned it not even a month ago) involved. The others got away because they were minors. Now, does that make sense? What really doesn't make sense is the people whose houses were included want to press charges. This kid did nothing wrong ever before, honor student, played sports and received a scholarship to a college that they don't know if it will be good now, all for some beer in a garage. Now, I don't know what you think, but when I think of an open door, I think "Welcome." And it just doesn't make sense for these people to press charges and maybe ruin his chances for a furture in sports and college, all for a $10 pack of beer. Ok, so he shouldn't have been driving, so slap him on the wrist, scare him with something, and walk away. I mean, c'mon, he shared a cell with a child rapist. Thats not right. None of it is.

Answer 3

well, we have more than 12 million living in the country...maybe you meant illegals tho. But anyway, when Clinton was president, he tried building a fence along the Mexican border, but NO. Now when Bush tries it, its suppose to be something new. F- Bush!

Answer 4

The US is in great shape!! Bush is doing an outstanding job!! You should thank him that you are not wearing a turban on your head and praying to Alah 20 times a day!! If we had one of your Lib's for pres, we'd all be speaking Arabic right now! Your a stupid Dousche bag, typical Liberal!!

Answer 5

Think about it. Would that make them popular? Yes, there are lots of people out there with their "we hate illegals, make them leave" chant, but have you noticed that illegal immigrants now fill many of the minimum-pay job posts? Construction companies, restaurants, cleaning services, etc. would have to raise their wages if illegal immigration was prevented; and that would do nasty things to the economy. Also, it would be amazingly hard to keep EVERYONE from entering our country. Would you like to give it a try?

Answer 6

The big companies that employ the slave labor....I mean the illegal immigrants are the ones donating millions to their campaign funds. Both parties are getting huge dollars from the slave labor.....oops there I go again.....i mean the illegal immigrant exploitation.

And us...the lucky tax payer get to pick up the tab for all expense incurred because of it.

Don't tell me that the lib's are sympathetic to their cause....that is BS they love the $$$$ in the campaign accounts.

Answer 7

"Why did not the Republicans fix the border safe practices difficulty even as they'd entire administration for 6 years" uncomplicated. because the social gathering leaders feared dropping the Hispanic vote. we now have shown them that the yankee human beings gained't stand for one of those pandering, and positively we can deliver them packing on election day if amnesty is handed

Answer 8

To keep it short and sweet...
Pro-business Republicans like the cheap labor, and pro-government Democrats like the increased bureaucracy and amount of money spent on them.

Answer 9

it has never been a priority, plus it is big business for the government to allow the drugs to get in to the country.

Answer 10

Cuz politicians aren't interested in fixing problems. They just want "issues" to focus on when they're running for office. If they actually solved any "issues", they'd have to depend on their character to get elected, and they don't want that.
