"Although the Republicans are obsessed with stopping illegal immigration, they cut billions of dollars out of border security and immigration enforcement. “Even with all the money in the world, the administration would not succeed in securing the border because they are not serious about it,” theorized Lamar Smith, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee."I just wanted to point out, Republicans had never, in their 6 years of complete control of the House, Senate and White House, managed to control any border North or South, as shown by the increase of illegal immigrants during that period of time. But by coincidence of economic malaise in the US, in 2009, the number of illegal immigrants in the US dropped.
Now, it's quite clear to me, Republicans are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. The State of Arizona is suing the federal government for lack of border control, never mind that the number of illegal immigrants has decreased, right? And what do Republicans in the House do in response? Cut the border patrol budget, of course! It's a political act towards achieving a self-fulfilling prophesy, if you ask me.
Such a sad state of politics we live in.
