If the border is so secure, it must be pretty boring for those militia guys.
"This fixation has migrated from the fringe of the fringe over on Breitbart.com, which shamed itself in July with headlines announcing that border officials had found a “Muslim prayer rug” at the Arizona border that turned out to be an Adidas soccer jersey."
ROFL.
ROFL.
Those "wingnuts" and "kooks" at Judicial Watch uncovered documents proving obama scandals that the House Committee couldn't get.
The Border Patrol knew all about O'Keefe? Sure they did. Just like they knew all about him when he sneaked into Cleveland from Canada on a boat dressed as an ISIS terrorist carrying a big bag labeled "ebola" and waltzed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
A full list of all the things Obama and his administration have brazenly lied about would be book length, eg Fast and Furious, IRS scandal and ongoing coverup, Benghazi debacle and ensuing coverup, Obamacare disasters, VA scandals, immigration, etc etc. Their credibility is basically zero.

Actually YOU are irrelevant to the entire issue
Don't forget that he's a Nazi Fascist Muslim born in Kenya.
And a dumb fuck unqualified lying affirmative action POTUS...
Except for those times when the argument requires him to be a socialistic atheist (born in Kenya).
As the staff is clamoring for a secure border, I thought to get a quote on it...
Sealing the U.S. Border Would Cost an Additional $28 Billion a Year

Last year President Obama spent $11.7 billion on security at the U.S.-Mexico border—more than any of his predecessors, according to the Migration Policy Institute. That big of an investment might make you think illegal immigrants were storming the 2,000-mile stretch of desert that separates Texas and California from Mexico, but in fact, the opposite is true. The net migration between the U.S. and Mexico last year was zero, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. Roughly 150,000 people, both illegal and legal, arrived in the U.S. from Mexico, and about the same number left the U.S. to return home.
There’s a big disconnect between those facts and the immigration debate that’s going on in Congress right now. Democrats say they want to continue spending record amounts on immigration enforcement as part of a deal that would give citizenship to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S. Republicans—including Senator Marco Rubio, who’s leading charge on immigration reform for his party—say they won’t consider an immigration proposal unless the U.S. spends whatever it takes to seal the border 100 percent.
A new study from my colleagues at Bloomberg Government estimates what that cost would be: $28 billion per year—or roughly the same amount taxpayers spend on the Department of Justice’s annual budget. According to the study, even with that extra $16 billion a year, the border wouldn’t be secured until 2019.
Story: The U.S.-Mexico Border Got Secured. Problem Solved?
Considering that illegal immigration fluctuates—in 2007, for example, the Department of Homeland Security rounded up more than 850,000 people trying to enter the U.S. illegally—you have to wonder if there isn’t a third way to border security and an immigration deal. The Bloomberg Government study suggests that it’d be more sensible to cut spending at times when fewer immigrants are trying to cross, and increase it when they are.
The U.S. could achieve that flexibility in a few ways:
1) by hiring a temporary staff of border patrol agents who would be laid off in years when migration is low, a difficult prospect because the border patrol union would fight it;

2) by taking some of the expensive drones being used at the border and deploying them for other purposes at times when crossings are low;
3) by working to bulk up the 650-mile border fence only when there’s evidence that the tide of illegals is beginning to swell again.
Those are all ideas worth considering, but with both parties clamoring for more spending even as agency budgets are shrinking, finding a third way doesn’t look promising.

It's a conspiracy. Neither party wants to close the open border.
Why?
It's where all the drugs, illegals, terrorists, drug cartels/gang members originate??
Maybe, the Establishment want drugs, illegals, terrorists and criminal gangs operating in the Country?
Keeps them in a job? Justifies the existence of the police state? And the continual expansion of Government power???!!
Naaaaaaaahhhhhhh.......cudn't b......Why that would mean they be lying to us boss?!?!?!?

It's true. Otherwise they would of closed the border already. As it is now, when people take a vacation to California they think the plane overshot the runway and landed in Mexico. :eek:
