BORDERS

For the life of me I cannot figure out why we don't enforce our borders. Sure, we have long borders, both north and south. I am not concerned with our northern border. It's the southern border where we are being breached. We have got to secure our southern border. We have to build a barrier. I don't like saying that. It seems so regressive. But without some kind of effective electronic surveilence I think a physical barrier is what we have to build.

We can address all of the other fallout from our recent invasion after we secure the border. In the mean time we will have to live with being invaded. So the sooner we start the better.

Men and women are volunteering to help with border patrol. This is a first since I have been alive. Doesn't it say something about the mood in general of the American people? We can absorb a large group of immigrants every year. Our economy is that resilient. But we have to follow the time honored procedures of registration. And especially during this time of being at war, we must have tighter controls.

If you are an employeer, don't hire an illegal alien. Not even for day labor. And don't make excuses. It's against the law and you know it. At the same time, support your local food bank. Look for the needs of the underpriviledged right in your own neighborhood. Support the clothing drives put on by churches and have compassion for the families that are here.
