Why does anybody give Republicans any credibility when it comes to dealing with illegal immigration?

During the many years Republicans controlled congress they did nothing to increase spending to border enforcement or make tougher illegal immigration laws. The best they could come up with was a fence. As if someone is going to turn around after traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles and go back to their home country because of a fence.|||Criticizing our current immigration enforcement is NOT, by any means an endorsement of the republican handling of immigration enforcement during the Bush administration. There wasn't enough done then, there isn't enough done now. I can't believe people would even consider a second amnesty. Saying it is okay for ONE group of people to ignore the law makes it okay for everyone to ignore the law.|||I'm shocked that is your position. To turn and blame one party or the other on this issue is pretty useless though. Immigration has been an issue for more then 30 years now. Both sides have had opportunities to address it and neither has done much about it.It wouldn't be as big of an issue now either, if the country hadn't taken a dive.|||LIberals want all Americans to pay for the College for Illegal Immigrants!
