To every politician who refuses to actually defend our borders:

Screw you, you miserable little pandering bastards. I don't care what party you belong to or what excuses you make: Screw You.
And, as to this bullshit
Democratic congressmen and some local officials say that conclusion is unfair. Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino was recently quoted by the Houston Chronicle as saying, "The border is not in chaos.” And the newspaper quoted Rep. Silvestre Reyes, a Democrat representing El Paso, as calling the claims "political rhetoric" meant to embarrass the Obama administration.
Fuck you, you pandering shits. People were yelling about this when Bush was President, when Clinton was... We've been yelling about this for freaking DECADES, so we know "It's not our fault" bullshit when we hear it.

And while this is happening, the Border Patrol agents know that if some illegal complains that they were 'mean' the agent can wind up in jail; and BATFE and the DoJ and DHS were helping smuggle guns into Mexico(and, truly, only God knows how many people are dead in that mess); and the politicians play games.
