re: #147 Targetpractice

The border security issue is supposedly being used as a means of “reassuring” the wingnuts. They have to know that the government is “serious” about stopping illegal immigration before they’ll even consider allowing immigrants already here to try for citizenship.

Almost everything that was recommended in the failed 2007 bill has been implemented as far as border security goes. For instance, the number of border patrol agents was doubled. So now they want to double them again. They’re already having friendly fire incidents, which can only get worse with twice the number of agents.
