Your part about claiming that the Republicans have utterly failed on border security is correct.

Why have the Republicans failed on this? Because they are in bed with the corporations that solicit illegal immigrants to work for sub-standard wages in factories and in bed with big-agribusiness, which wants illegals to work the fields across the US.

I am not in favor of a guest worker program. Not because I am a racist or a bigot. Illegal immigrants do take jobs from people legally living in America--because if we enforced our immigration and labor laws companies and farms would be forced to increase wages to attract and retain employees.

A guest worker program facilitates the Wal-Martization of American business: big companies that pay subsistence wages to millions of employees and force the US government to pay for Medicaid instead of offering decent medical benefits.

Border security is directly tied to progressive labor policy.
