The argument that the border is too big to enforce is a cop out. So is the argument that anything short of perfection makes it inadequate. With your nation comes responsibility. Like prperly managing your border, for all the right reasons. immigration, smuggling, security just for a couple.

For a simple analogy take a look at the I-5, or I-40 interstate highways. Thousands of linear miles through various terrains. Various climates. Goes through a number of states like the border runs along a few states. There are hundreds of laws to enforce from speeding to DUI, and truck weight.

Yet despite all the challenges named, the various highway patrols do a pretty good job of enforcing the laws of the road. Not perfect of course, but without that enforcement it would be mayhem out there.

Just like the border.
