The problem with all of this, of course, is that we’ll never get anything to fix this problem, so we’ll be stuck with the status quo of open borders that allow illegals across just about whenever they want. It has 20 million in the country and more will be able to come whenever they want.

That is the status quo.

I despise the status quo. You despise the status quo. We want it fixed, but the opponents really don’t. They want to keep it the way it is.

That means we lose. Nothing at all getting done equals the status quo, loved by democrat politicians and unscrupulous hirers of illegal labor, not to mention drug runners.

“But hey! Look! We have someone here who wants the status quo to change! Shouldn’t we get behind his effort?

No? We need to join the rest of the flying monkeys to throw poo at him because his Dad is kind of a kook?

Oh... Ok.”

And THAT is why we continue to lose.

The irony of this situation is that if the government had actually closed down illegal immigration on the southern border there would be less resistance to some of these proposed immigration reforms.

People might actually be in a frame of mind to consider a reasonable solution.

But we know the government does not really intend on shutting the borders so there is no trust in anything they say.

We have heard them lie about closing the border since 1986. Remember George Bush promised to build a fence back in 2004-2005? How many millions did he waste on pretending to build a workable fence? How many millions has Obama wasted on pretending he wanted to control the borders? He hired more Border Patrol agents then made rules preventing them from doing their jobs.

How many times do they think we will fall for the old Lucy/Charlie Brown football trick?
