[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1385861, member: 198"] Some on this board don't have thing ability to think about this issue logically because their thought process is inhibited by their overwhelming partisan urge to show their blind allegiance to a certain political party. So, they can't stop focusing on blaming "the other side" for what has, or has not, been done about the border. That is also why some of them can't, or refuse, to acknowledge that the lack of a secure border is the problem and that the flow of illegals, along with the many problems that are brought in as a result, are just symptoms of that problem. While I do agree that illegal immigrants shouldn't be getting entitlements I don't think that tackling that issue will do a damn thing to solve the problem that is causing all of this mess. The best way to solve any problem is to attack the source. Well, the source is in Mexico. They have one of the most corrupt governments on Earth and are plagued by cartels. Those two factors are why the Indios (Mexico's "Native Americans") live in such poverty. They are desperate and even an America without entitlements is a haven and opportunity. Seeing how the U.S. isn't going to go for a regime change in Mexico ,and/or eliminate the cartels, the next logical step up from solving the problem at the source is our own border. No, we don't need a big giant wall that spans every inch of the border. We need strong effective walls in specific areas and more border patrol and national guardsmen to patrol the areas not covered by the walls.
