"BorderBots are too big to be ignored."

That is a common misconception by the single issue crowds...they mistake loud of large. I've known many infants that were loud all out of proportion to their size...they too made demands. Most of them grew up.

Tax hawks were not infants in 1992.
They were as large as they were loud, and they put a bullet in the head of the tax-raising GOP.
Never happened again.

Pro-lifers were not infants with Miers in 2005.
They were as large as they were loud, and Bush & Co. knew it and put up Alito.

BorderBots are probably as large as they are loud, but why take the risk? To "teach them a lesson"? What would that be? That a wide-open border is good? If the resistance is simply based on a refusal to cave into political pressure, when the consequences of loss are so dire, I'd say it's a bad gamble.

Anyway, we'll see in the coming weeks the extent to which the President and Senate or the House of Representatives gauge the real strength of the BorderBots.

I hold out hope for a full fence THIS year, so that we can win THIS year, because I think the BorderBots are as numerous as they are loud.

If I'm right and we follow my strategy of caving and giving them their fence, what have we lost?

But even if you're right and we don't give them their fence, and eke out a win and hold onto Congress, what have we gained? Essentialy open borders and backdoor amnesty. Why is that a good thing? Just to "Show 'em?", Warrant?
