Re: I think it's a question of resources

Immelman--Ok. Fair enough. It's not like I've never posted anything that didn't come across exactly as I intended.

But I think, as you, that illegal immigration is a *huge* problem, but it's not the only thing of enormous proportions.

The US/Mexican border is also huge.
The coastline is also huge.
The disparity between Americans and other nations is huge
The deficit is also huge.

The problem is enormous and in my humble opinion (yeah, right) this nation simply doesn't have (or will not allocate) sufficient resources to fight it effectively--thus, the politicos pay lip service to the whole thing.

This nation has other more pressing problems right now and maybe that's a matter of opinion but I sincerely think we're gonna have to solve some of those before immigration can be tackled.

Agree completely. Two observations: "Illegal immigration" is an oxymoron, since immigration, by definition, presumes legal admission of a foreign national. What scares me is the notion that those who are responsible for our most pressing problem are astute enough to take advantage of our open borders.
