No... it's OK... don't go. It's not among my better stuff. :-)

I just get really strung out on immigration threads. For some reason they just push my buttons. I can't 'splain it.

Usually the catch-phrase has to do with "sealing" the borders (as if it were some zip-lock that we'd just overlooked). Or maybe its somebody that uses the "open borders" stinger...

It just bugs me. As somebody that stood a post on that border and did interceptions and boardings, and worked alongside Border Patrol and Customs people that were all working as hard as they could to watch that border... it just cheezes me off to think that these people just piss on the efforts of tens of thousands of good people.

The U.S. has 22,000 miles of border. That's only 2,000 miles short of saying we should "seal" the equator. Rotsa Ruck.

My plan for "sealing the border"? Satellites, and crowbars-from-spaaaaace! That'd stop the so-called invading horde.

But seriesly, they need to start presenting real plans, rather than just whining.

As a former resident of a border state, I thank you for your efforts. I avoid those threads, too, because my solution for 'sealing' the border would likely get me banned: minefields.
