Remember the Peace Corps?? Founded in 1961 that Federally funded program now costs taxpayers $350 million a year.

Volunteers and paid federal employees (with a union and benefits) have apparently been impotent in those countries from which thousands of illegals flee for the US.

Is it time (50+ years) to accept that the program has been a failure in all of the places we have spent labor, effort and money???? None of the people we supposedly ‘helped’ appear to have risen politically or materially to a level of improving their own nations’ governance or to have embraced the ‘friendship’ of the USA.

To control our southern borders and stop the thousands of children from Latin America from sneaking into the United States, we need at least two new amendments to the Constitution, something like this:

1. "School attendance: Only citizens, legal residents, those with special student visas can attend elementary, high school, and colleges in the United States."

2. "One parent must be a citizen before a newborn child is given automatic citizenship."

3. Felony: We must finally declare that crossing the border illegally is a felony.

Illegal parents come to the United States for the wonderful benefits that their children can receive, like a quality education and great health care. Can you blame them for making the dangerous, long trip with their young children, or sending their children by themselves with the hope that the United States will automatically let them stay?

I don't understand how a child can illegally cross the southern border one day and automatically be eligible to enroll in public school the next day. That is wrong.

• Deport illegal aliens on contact with LE, federal/state/local
• Enforce the law vigorously on employers of illegals and with severe penalties
• Strong border security. Build the fence
• Eliminate entitlements for illegal aliens, e.g. no tuition assistance or DL. Nothing beyond emergency care, followed by deportation
• End the "anchor baby" policy
• Illegal entry forfeits forever any chance for citizenship
• Illegal aliens interfering with government proceedings will be shot as spies

"Obviously, the border is secure," one of the protesters' organizer declared, arguing that illegal aliens are already being captured as soon as they enter the U.S.

This is your brain on drugs:

Captain Smith on the Titanic: “obviously we’re not taking on water.”
Same type of statement.

Any immigration “reform” passed this year will have a provision saying the President must certify the border is secure before there is amnesty. Which he will, no matter what the reality is.

That is why we cannot trust the GOPE
