So you want fifty different agencies in charge of the border. And can't figure out why that's ridiculous. I'll give you but a single example: Fifty different sets of laws regarding entry is foolish.

Just the border states? They literally are the ones who deal with it. It is literally a local issue. Why does kentucky have to worry about the border? I live in Kentucky. We don't have a border issue. We don't need border patrol. Who said anything about legislation? I'm talking about enforcement. We have 50 different definitions of murder btw. And rape. And drunk driving. And prostitution. And drug dealing. And gay marriage. And abortion. But nope, the border issue is just too complex for states to tackle.

Get a grip of reality, bud.
