(1) Did I suggest a nation does not need sovereign borders? No, I did not. The refusal to deal with illegal immigration these past years has put us in a dicey humanitarian situation, with large numbers of illegals who have been here for years, had children here, have made a life here. We need reform, or perhaps a better word, revisit, the situation as it exists circa 2016. New realities can out pace old laws. Our current illegal immigrant population, nor our current economic realities are best served by mass deportation.

(1) - You did, and in the usual veiled terms that all liberals always use when they speak of border crashers. The problem is not that we cannot enforce our borders, the problem is that we will not police our borders. There is a reason that border agents have unilaterally endorsed Mr Trump. They are sick of the liberal do-si-do, and are ready to do their jobs for a change.

As I have said, where Republicans may be ready to cry uncle and admit it is time to stop the madness, Democrats are still determined to allow it because they want to change certain 'red state' demographics. And you're right, things are dicey, but the 'realities' you spoke of should be headed by a little item you didn't mention, which is government's covert deception in the matter. They never had the right to saddle the American taxpayer with the financial burden of millions of illegals who get everything handed to them, including a college diploma. The children largely, are mere pawns in all of this, there are train loads of them headed to the US as we speak. Desperate and unsupervised, at some point however, the door must close. Voters have awakened to the scope of the mess created by agenda driven politicians and thus they have flocked to support Trump.

Reform has nada to do with any of this. Corrupt and arrogant politicians running over existing law and the will of the people has everything to do with it. This would be the point at which liberals would show us a picture of innocent children who need a good home, right?
