I am confused at the opposition to this. The narrative has always been “we need to fight the terrorists over there so we don’t have to fight them in our backyard”. And now that they are actually “in our Backyard” we now don’t want to even protect our own southern border and “fight them over there”?

Because there is no money in it or what? This is exactly what we should have done decades ago. Five decades or more ago... Help the Mexican people fix Mexico so they DO NOT NEED TO TRY AND COME HERE AT ALL. Help Mexico make themselves a productive country with a good economy so they are not poor anymore. This is a start towards that advantageous situation.

And it is now a mistake? To think this is completely illogical... It is exactly what we have needed to do for a long time...

Agree. I think it is great! Many have been saying that our troops are needed at our border, not in foreign countries across the ocean. Go for it!

It is about d&^% time.

Me too. The only thing I can think of is that there's fear people pot supply is going to get too expensive for their habit.
