From what he said, you are right to be concerned. What would you suggest be done to secure the borders and what advice would you give ICE on enforcement?
I suspect that they are under strict instructions from the administration not to interfere with illegals crossing the southern border. Too much riding on pandering to the Hispanic vote.

Looks like Janet feels that the Canadians are the bigger threat anyway.

What would I suggest?

Build the damn fence from the Gulf to the Pacific, double the number of BP agents, put the Guard on the border, deny social services to illegals, end the anchor baby program, deport the illegals, arrest their employers, incarcerate people breaking the laws of this country, open a visa application office in every town in Mexico with more than 50,000 residents for anyone with a clean record who wants to work here, run background checks, issue alien worker IDs, and run a bus service for them.

None of that is going to happen, though it is all feasible, if we want to secure our borders and enforce our laws. At least not until Beslan happens here or a city gets nuked. Then we may get serious.
