Rand is right on this—secure the border! Put up a wall! Even if it costs millions—in the end it will save money and lives. Put up mines, barb wire, motes with Alagators! Electric fences—what ever it takes to seal the border. Do it now it will be hard, but harder still when terrorists move an a-bomb over the border and take out Houston or something. I believe we need a new broanch of the Military—The Border Guard—like the Coast Guard but on land. Their job to protect the borders with tanks, armored cars, planes, etc...
In the middle of the river?
Rand is only correct about the half that you spoke of. The part about making illegals legal and any other perks for illegal invaders is just wrong.
