Is this more proof our borders are too porous and need to be more secure?

This notion that we can guard the entire border like a prison fence, ignores that fact that that would be ridiculously expensive and that even drastic measures like that could be overcome with some investment in shovels and/or ladders or even a fake ID at a border crossing checkpoint.

The only real solution is to end the war on drugs, legalize all drugs and cripple the cartels. At that point a real struggle against organized crime in South and Central American has a decent chance of working. Then governments South of the border will also be in a position to deal with the criminals we send them.

SSgt Alex Robinson As long as we have "standard" politicians in office this will continue to be one of the largest problems facing all our States bordering Mexico. Mexico doesn't want them, they get away with whatever they want here, get deported and are on the bus, horse, or whatever back over the border within a month. Our Southern border is leaking like a sieve. Some kind of action has to be taken before ISIS figures that out, and exploits it.

Yep...and there are thousands and thousands more just like this guy.
