South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday blamed the border crisis on President Obama, but also argued his Republican Party is doomed in the 2016 presidential race unless the GOP House next year helps fix the country’s broken immigration policies.
“I blame Obama for this moment,” Graham told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” If Congress doesn’t pass immigration-reform legislation in 2015 “our chances in 2016 are very low. The House should lead.”
Graham also said that 2008 immigration laws must be changed before he supports Obama’s recent request to Congress for an additional $3.7 billion to help with the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, where tens of thousands of Central American children and others have crossed into the United States in recent months with hopes of fleeing widespread poverty and violence.

Maybe its time to:
(1) send our Marines to invade Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
(2) make those countries our territories while we civilize them — a bit like Puerto Rico is now. Replace their failed attempts at socialism with never-fail free-markets.
(3) give those territories American-style government to reduce corruption
(4) reduce drug trafficing and other crimes in those territories. Let’s have NO “repeat offenders”.
(5) help their educated classes draft Constitutions that mirror our own, with appropriate checks and balances.
Result: These countries will become new “Americas” that our recent “refugees” will decide they want to go home to.

Reform must begin with a way to insure enforcement. Show us you have the ability to enforce the law.
