The problem with Obama is that he doesn't want to play the political game. Would closing the border actually do anything to solve the problem? No. But it's the optics that count here. You gotta make the people feel like something is being done, even if it's all theater.

Appearances do matter.
Indeed they do. You, for example, do a very convincing job of making yourself appear even more brainless than you probably are.
