I live in Texas so border security is a huge issue for me. The argument that a fence is not worth the cost is illogical. A fence is an important part of securing our borders but it is true that attempts will be made even with a fence. Making it more difficult to breach or borders will help to curb the influx.

Equally important, however, is eliminating the incentives to enter illegally. We need to end ALL entitlements to illegals-especially free health care and education. Requiring verification of legal status for employment is crucial too. Just look at the success AZ is having.

When illegals depart to their home countries we can finally reform the process of fixing immigration policies.
