Excellent question that I hope there's a reasonable answer for.

[Jim Noble]

Obviously, I know that there is enormous resistance on the part of the political and government class to taking the simple steps which would resolve this problem permanently.

What I don't understand, is why?

Stopping illegal immigration, guarding the borders, and eliminating the terrorist army in our midst is enormously popular, according to polls.

And no American citizens are against it, at least not so that you'd notice.

Politicians are normally quite sensitive to polls and vox pop.

What's different about this issue?
