If you read my post objectively, without preconceived notions, you will note that I said "policy".  We'll never hit zero, but that doesn't mean that shouldn't be our goal.  When I coached Little League, I told the kids I didn't expect them to catch every ball hit their way, but I expected them to try to catch every ball.  The Democrats aren't trying at all, in fact it's just the opposite, they're welcoming the illegal immigration.  Democratic border policy is incredibly irresponsible governing and presents an ever-increasing burden on the legal populace on a multitude of fronts.

Do you have any research to support the tourist assertion?
