Wrong as proven by the last nine years at least.
Completely disagree. Way to go Oscar, Doug & Ed.
It's amazing at how ill-informed, angry and heartless so many people are.
I have no problem with you disagreeing with me. As someone who has conducted surveillance on the Texas border, and who has been out hunting in South Texas along the border I disagree. There is nothing to do with heart or heartless. It's simply border security, and National Sovereignty. For local folks around the border regions it's also physical security. For those interested in counter-terrorism it's all about protection of national and regional centers of gravity. If you are interested in drug trafficking, human trafficking, and illegal weapons trafficking then you should pay attention. You can either have security, or you can have something less than that. I submit heart or heartless has nothing to do with security. A cop wearing a bullet proof vest feels more safe and more secure. A home owner locking his or her doors at night is simply prudent for taking proper security measures. A car owner locking his doors and arming his alarm is simply managing and mitigating risk.
If you want to enter the USA, there are two ways to do it. Legally, or illegally. It's like making a withdrawal from a bank. You can either fill out your withdrawal slip or you can go in with a gun and a bag. One's legal, and the other one ain't.
We are either a nation of laws or we ain't. You are either pregnant or you're not.
Pretty simple really. Just follow the damn law. There's a bonus: we don't have to raise our domestic taxes to pay for illegal immigration and undocumented foreign nationals. We don't have to incarcerate them, educate them, or treat their physical and mental problems. They are foreign nationals, they are tax payers and citizens of other nations. They should simply follow the rules, comply with the law, and wait their turn.
