I think it's a way more difficult job than locking down the borders. Living in Miami, I am fully aware that there is major coastline that cannot be effectively secured. Close down the Mexican border and they'll ship out to our mainland in greater numbers.

As it is now, border patrol and the coast guard have their hands full.

Thanks, debg..as I'm here in MI, I guess I'm not too familiar with the scope of what would be involved in securing the FLA coastline.

BUT..America has such amazing scientific and technological ability, I would think that there is SOME solution to keep the bad guys out.

IMHO, it's a matter of political and national will (or lack thereof, by Repubs and Dems alike). But I pretty much would guarantee that if any significant WMD hit the US, that this all would change. (Or would it?)
