Americans are sick and tired of being treated like second-class citizens in our own country.
When we were at the Yuma border a year ago we talked to a group of rank and file Border Patrol agents and one thing I said is, look, we are the Congress. We cannot enforce the laws. We write laws so what laws do you need us to write?
Not because of a lack of resources, but because the laws that have been adopted in the 1970s make it cost prohibitive.
What I'm hearing back is you don't do anything. You shrug your shoulders and then send another batch of kids out to another group of sponsors' homes.
