A HC thread has really turned into an illegal alien discussion so let's see what we think about that issue.
My thinking is with the length of our land borders (with Mexico & Canada) & all our beaches, if we took every member of ALL our military, police & Boy Scout troops & turned them into full-time border guards, we could never hope to even have a major effect on stopping illegal entry into this country.
(Other than having a "show of force" at the obvious entry points ......to help deter casual border crossers, any real attempts to seal any country's borders have always been doomed to failure & always will)
Even if we successfully catch a family of...let's say Mexicans....crossing illegally into this country, what do we do with them? (shoot them??) ..Of course not!...
OK...So let's incarcerate them!...But wait a minute....Now they are not only in our country but we have to feed, house & take care of their medical needs while in prison because they can't work!!...Nope...that won't work either.
The best we can do is send them home ...so that they can try again tomorrow...or next week, right?
