To understand the crisis at the border in practical terms, I would submit the following. The border in some places, is designated by a mere marker or monument, not a fence. In fact, many places lack any physical barriers whatever. Therefore, the leaders of the insurgency just marshal large groups of potential illegals, say "down, set, GO", and within seconds hundreds of foreign nationals have crossed this imaginary line in the sand into our country. Having thusly crashed our border, they have hit the entitlement lotto and must by law be cared for by border authorities. This is the part where the media acts as if seeking out border authorities somehow protects them in some kind of aura of innocence. I mean to get the goodies, you gotta find "Da Man", right?

Ironically, the 3.7 billion being asked for to provide the above mentioned care, is about the same amount that would be required to erect the necessary fences and barriers, to prevent the soccer field style daily surges of humanity into our country. This is why so many congressional members are saying that we must first secure the border. Not exactly rocket science now is it? Maybe we could never stop the 'drip', but we could certainly stem the 'tide' and why is it not being done?
