It might be higher than 50% getting caught but then they turn around and come back. Some illegals have been caught 8 or more times but after a while they get the hang of how it works and they stop getting caught. I'm not sure the borders have to be all that closed at the actual border anyhow --- I'd be more for cutting off all access to the handout programs and deporting those who commit other types of crime like document fraud and end the anchor baby way of immigration. They can get rid of the problem immigrant easily enough and in my opinion the fences are only needed in certain spots.
"It might be higher than 50% getting caught but then they turn around and come back. Some illegals have been caught 8 or more times." So then, how in the world could you make a statement like "we have open borders"?
The problem with your argument, and many people's argument in FR, is that you use excessive hyperbole, and destroy your credibility.
"I'd be more for cutting off all access to the handout programs"
For everyone, not just immigrants. It actually pisses me off more to know that my money is going to a native-born welfare queen, than to an immigrant family.
"...end the anchor baby way of immigration."
You mean overturning the Fourteenth Amendment?
