Last month, President Obama stood at the border in El Paso, Texas, and mocked those who are concerned that America\u2019s borders are not being adequately protected. The president assured us that our borders are secure and condescendingly joked that his critics will not be satisfied until he builds a moat and fills it with alligators.<\/p>\n

The family of Houston Police Officer Kevin Will is not laughing, and neither should anyone else. Officer Will was killed on a Houston freeway last week by an illegal alien who was driving while intoxicated. But that\u2019s not all. According to prosecutors, Officer Will\u2019s alleged killer was a member of the notorious MS-13 gang.

And yet, Rodriguez, a known gang member, seemed to have had little trouble getting back into the United States.<\/p>\n
