You argue for, your words, and I quote: "sealing the borders" as a goal you hold dear. That, with respect, is the very definition of isolationism.

Building up our troops in our own country along the border of a country that wishes us neither harm, nor bad tidings, is just plain wrong.

To my mind, there is no redeaming quality in performing a military build up along the borders of either Mexico or Canada.

You're demanding an action from the President that this country has not performed since the Mexican war (and/or the war of 1812), and then chastizing him when he doesn't deliver on this diplomatic and military impossibility.

Instead of listing all of this out, I prefer the simpler, broader truth that isolationism (in all of it's ugly forms) simply doesn't work.

The big Poobah wants to pi$$ 15 billion away on "Aids in Africa"......a National health care (Hillary) policy....a feakin' dog and pony show on the surface of Mars...and he spends money faster than ex DC mayor Marion Barry in a crackhouse....and you think for one minute we couldn't cut the number of illegals by 30% a year, from traipsing across our borders?

Hell, if he wants to start a gub-mint jobs program, please let it do us some good, protect the borders.....

Keep on drinkin' the Bush Koolaid....

It would appear that you don't know the definition of the word "definition." Honestly, I'm not really surprised...

Building up our troops in our own country along the border of a country that wishes us neither harm, nor bad tidings, is just plain wrong.

That you can't recognize that Mexico does indeed wish us "harm" and "bad tidings" demonstrates the level of your myopia.
