The problems of illegal immigration are chronic and well-documented. They start with the threat to national security caused by ridiculously porous borders and balloon to include the stratospheric costs associated with this nation's willingness to tolerate and even facilitate criminal behavior.
American citizens pay the price every step of the way -- in anxiety, cash and generations of opportunities swallowed by this systemic failure.
That the nation's top leadership for decades has been unwilling to combat this situation speaks volumes about the clout of corrupt corporate leaders and equally corrupt politicians.
Mexico is clearly the biggest source of illegals in this country.
