I guess her teleprompter broke down?

You have to treat the underlying disease and not just the symptoms. If you scare people away from hiring them, they will have no jobs and no reason to come here. Border control will fall into place and be much easier (read: less expensive) after that. As it is, you're just playing whack a mole....you'll never catch them all, no matter how many troops you put on the border.

I've said it before, it's hard to have sympathy for anyone in this debate. The illegals who sit there and get all hurt and upset and act genuinely shocked when we decide to actually do something about them, you know, breaking the law. But then it's hard to also have sympathy for people screaming about border fences and the national guard, and then turning around and hiring a crew of illegals to paint their house.
