Nothing is 100 percent

Donald Trump is championing the policy of deportation of illegals after securing our borders under the argument that we either have a country of laws or we don't.

That position has been disparaged by many on both sides of the aisle, but government deportation has been very successful numerous times in the past, including "Operation Wetback" in the 1950s. Check it out.

Just because something isn't expected by some detractors to be 100 percent successful, doesn't mean it isn't worth trying.

Any improvement in border control is worth the effort.
