As we all know, our borders are all extremely porous; especially our southern border with Mexico. As I see it, the only real option we have is to build a fence and use the technology and human support needed to monitor it effectively. The Mexican government must also assume border security responsibility or face trade sanctions with the United States. The Obama Administration/Democrats and some Republican’s attitude toward protecting our borders is pretty chilling to say the least. For the sheer sake of political power they continue to ignore American sovereignty and safety, while continuing to advocate amnesty for those who have entered our country illegally and have consistently voted against efforts to increase our border security.
