Illegal Immigration

NYTimes Story

So what if illegal immigration may be down right now... that's likely as temporary as the economic downturn. Same thing with the downturn in violent crimes, could even link it with the temporary shortfall in illegals coming across. Point is, there's no excuse for an unsecured border.

Every President is responsible, and Obama has failed just like every one before him. There's no way he'll secure the border. The only difference, and it's a big one, is that it's now such a problem that it has become of national interest and is a real issue. It was creeping up in some prior elections, but it's now starting to really get legs.

The New York Times leans left, and that's putting it mildly. And it appears that the argument for the left is... "What problem? We don't see a 'real' problem." Well, try opening your eyes. It's an issue that isn't going to go away by hiding your head or pretending it isn't there. Either do something, or the people will put in someone else who will.
