Some of what Perry said about the fence is right:

“The fact is, it’s 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso. Two things: How long you think it would take to build that? And then if you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”

And Brownsville is closer to Mexico City than to El Paso. The Fence sounds good, but, except in place near population centers and other places of high traffic, will be a waste of resources.

The very best is to address self interest and the money it is concerned with.

When it is no longer in the interest of employers to hire illegal aliens, most will quit coming due to economic self interest. It will no longer be in the interest of employers to hire illegals when, in some manner, it is too painful to do so. That will mean that the self interest of politicians finds it too painful to continue double talking about stopping illegal immigration while supporting employers and illegal aliens.

Ditto with the welfare doled out to immigrants of all stripes of legality and from all over the world.

The fact that the LA immigration court denies 60% of removal petitions. That while the Obama administration has actually deported more aliens than perhaps any other administration, it actively obstructs removal of the rest. American Cities, Counties and States cater to illegals - it starts with City Hall. The education system caters to and propagandizes the children of illegal aliens - failing to meaningfully educate the majority of them - while pandering to American brown racists. The system needs to be taken back.

As well, just who does the media pander to?

And we have to meaningfully address the demand for illegal drugs in the United States as a large part of the problem of illegal drugs and the cartels which convey them. More money is sent to Latin America through the drug trade than by remittances, and the money goes to ruthless international criminals rather than families. In this regard, we have to quit pointing fingers at Latin America and have a hard look at our own country.

All else is hollow talk and and a waste of time and resources. As I have said before illegal aliens are the symptom of the disease, not the disease itself. Treat the made in America, burrowed into government disease and the border hopping symptoms go away.
