We need to find another word for "border". There is no border unless you are an American citizen or a Mexican citizen with legitimate reasons to drive though a port. Even then you need your passport or passport card, your Global Entry card (with CBP letter extending expiration date) or Sentri card, driver's license,
registration and car insurance. Before you get to the CBP booth you will wait in one of 20 - 30 lanes with thousands of idle/lurch cars for anywhere from 1.5 to as much as 10 (no decimal) hrs. Then be closely questioned about your recent movements. Even if you are squeaky clean, you'll be subject to random, intensive, invasive vehicle inspections.
No kind soul will put their arm around your shoulder and help you across.
No one will offer you three hots and a cot.
No one will offer to pay for your trip.
No one will give you a free smartphone.

Locks are for honest people. Our Progressive Marxist Democrats are for everyone else; they fly them to all parts of our Country.

Got to give the right something to worry about. I'm still waiting to see actual hard evidence of what's so bad about this. Evidence, not flapping gums that parrot what someone in the GOP has told them to say.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I worked with government funding well over 30 years in a combination of service with PennDOT and PADEP and have found most all funding has strings attached to it that prevents one for using it for anything else than what is intended. For a simple example if you used BAMR Funding for anything other than mine reclamation work at best you would be fired, at worse you would be fires and coinvested of misappropriating funds and go to jail. Under special circumstances you may be able to use funding for something else, but that is the exception to the rule, and you better be damn sure about what you're doing because you will be responsible. Thats been my experience.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen So, if you believe in the rule of law, then how is it POSSIBLY a good idea to import thousands, if not millions of criminals?
I do believe in a functioning economy. I also believe that argument is horse shit. Liberals love to argue that workers aren't paid enough, then they turn around and argue we NEED illegal immigrants because they will do the jobs Americans won't.
Which is it? Because having illegal immigrants doing the jobs Americans won't artificially suppresses wages. I guarantee you Americans will do those jobs - if they are paid enough.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - When they want to, politicians find ways around funding requirements, take transportation for example. Historically transportation funding could only be used for roads, bridges, airports, and real transportation systems. It always galled the legislators all that money was sitting there, and they couldn’t get their hands on it. They would starve the states for transportation funding to fix/replace roads and bridges, and let it sit there so they could balance the federal budget with it even though they couldn’t spend it. Then in 91 they came up with ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act) that was created basically to allow the government to spend transportation funds on “transportation enhancement” type projects, streetscape projects and such. Hell, I remember one project that was farmed out to replace the shingles of a roof for an old RR Station that isn’t used as a RR Station anymore, the cost was well over $1M. That it was a one time used for transportation was close enough for them to allow transportation funds. I am glad I am retired because I couldn’t take looking at this kind of crap anymore. Want to see the old train station? 41.41170 -75.67116 Pretty nice shingles!
