And you keep plugging the holes. We need comprehensize security, and if the GOP wasn't going so bonkers for earmarks, we could pay for it.
But tell me - if you have two holes in your boat the size of nickles, and one the size of a dinner plate, which one do you fix first?
And once again, what is missing IMO is the actual desire to have border security work.
The analogy is interesting, but a comprehensive plan addresses the border security as well. What is different, is the "guest worker program" and that is where we are at a impasse.
We both concur that increased border security is critical to the process.
It is my sincere belief that if we do not do the rest of it, the border security will only help to control drugs, terrorist incursions and the like. It will not solve the illegal immigration situation, and will only delay the inevitable and frustrate the situation of some 12 million people and their extended families, numbering some 30-35 million more....(just plucked that from my estimate bin)
This is a huge problem Dirt Guy, and simplifying it does not help to solve it.
