This whole border issue is about riling up dumb uninformed people and getting them to vote Republican.

Who else would even dream of voting Republican these days? The current Republican base is less an issue driven chunk of the electorate with a political philosophy than a bunch of drooling, whining, special needs freaks who enjoy being the bitches of the Koch brothers and other people who wouldn't give them the steam off their piss, never mind rewarding them for their votes.

You missed "Bible-thumping", "gun-clinging", "bitter", and "buck-toothed rednecks" in your analysis.

There ya go.

There is no philosophy. Conservatives wrote the 1996 law that's still in place and blame Obama for it's enforcement. It didn't work before him, but that doesn't matter.

The truth is the TEA PARTY are not conservatives -- they are angry, misinformed, anarchists. This same crowd would have defaulted on the US Debt. It shut down the US government while funding it. It wants "border enforcement" but won't authorize any funds for it. The were goo-goo gah-gah over Sarah Palin.

They are akin to having Sanity actually hold public office.

The bottom line is the number of illegal border crossing peaked in 2000 and has dropped 75% or more since then. The fall has been especially fast since Obama took office, for whatever reasons.

The Republicans are trying to pin this on Obama, but the problem was much worse under the previous Republican administration, so it's just politics.

Notice the recent buzz about mothers and children. Why is this the story? Because it dodges the real story, which is that the problem has been greatly reduced.
