Every single day, 8000 to 12,000 illigals come over the border, some even just go back and forth every day at will. Why do we try to protect somebody elses border, knowing full well, it's a futile attempt?

It's called politics. We don't make (nor do big contracting companies with political ties) money protecting our own borders. War is good business, invest a son/daughter.

The fact is: We are not protecting the Iraqi border (I assume that's the one you mean) and the US has been widely criticized for that.
Actually I'm glad that the border between Iraq and Iran was not shut down. How else would the terrorists been able to go where Bush wanted them as opposed to the US mainland?
That said: You are absolutely correct.
At no time has it been more important to close our borders. Not only the physical one at the Rio Grande but every physical and virtual border we share.
We have an open academic conduit where-by students from Europe, India, and Pakistan, to name just a few, come to the US and get educated. Most of them return to their homeland and engage in competition with us and pronounce how poor our education system is. Some apply for citizenship but more just over-stay their visas and become illegals working in the high end of our infrastructure, not on the strawberry farms as the liberals would have you believe.
You'll find them in our hospitals, engineering firms, law firms and institutions of higher learning.
Time to shut it all down. It will be difficult because we have neglected it for too long.
We need to shift the focus from farm workers to where the damage is really being done.
EVERYTHING is at stake.

Really? Protect the borders?

My best guess is that Bush has found yet another way to NOT do his job by enforcing our existing laws regarding the border, because THAT would interfere with his REAL agenda which is creating a North American Union where all three countries eventually become one. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vuBo4E77ZXo

No it doesn't make sense.
