Nobody gave a damn about the country, justice, or the common good, and nobody was ever willing to have an honest debate. What was once a manageable law enforcement problem has now been kicked down the road to a complete sordid cluster. It makes the "gun control" debate look positively adult.

Of all the players in this the only one I have any respect for is the illegal alien fleeing his own kleptocratic government. If I were in his shoes with his prospects, I would go north too. In comparison I have nothing but contempt for our lying so-called leaders. The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach. Maybe we were arresting the wrong people all along...

The real problem was always on the Potomac, not the Rio Grande.
