there is a lot of border to secure and at what cost
the only way to truly keep people out would be to heavily patrol the border or install a 'berlin wall' - since most of the southern border is desert, it might be a good training ground for troops to be sent to the middle east but the law states that us troops may not be used on us soil unless martial law is declared for the area - a cure worse that the disease
and there are not enough national guard people to do it even if you count all of ca, az, nm and texass troops (just for the southern border) - unless other states want to contribute their national guard people - perhaps they will considering that illegals permeate the entire nation...well not hawaii and not many in alaska
also, remember that all illegals are not latino - so we have problems with illegals from asia and europe - people 'overstaying' their visas
we cannot even keep the drugs out, let alone the people
and let us not forget the canadian border
also, there is the problem with illegals coming here via boats so we would have to significantly increase the coast guard
not to mention how much controlling our borders would add to 'big government'
