Isn't interesting how you have turned this into a debate about Mexican illegal immigration, which I admit is a problem. But, what does improving the Mexican economy have to do with stopping terrorists from coming to this country? Sadly, if something were to happen, all of your arguments are moot and you know it. Why can't you focus on the terror threat? Also, why don't you tell me how the Mexicans handle their border with Guatemala? Is it open? Do you know? Did they address this issue on the talking points from which you are posting?
I've "turned" nothing here. I've been responding to posts advocating the building of the Big Honkin' Wall, which I think is an abysmally bad idea.
As for terrorists, I'm for keeping them out and against the false security of some of the methods proposed in this thread. We have a new Department of Homeland Security whose members spend just about every waking moment trying to figure out how to accomplish the goal you mentioned.
So let's turn this around - if you have such a great solution to the problem of keeping terrorists out, why aren't you working for the DHS right now? Or, is it enough for you simply to pontificate and wring your hands about this problem on FreeRepublic? Crying and whining won't keep a single terrorist out of our country.
Sadly, if something were to happen, all of your arguments are moot and you know it.
What "arguments" are you talking about? Did you blame Bush for the hurricanes in Florida too?
Why can't you focus on the terror threat?
Because in some cases, I'm responding to others who already aren't.
Also, why don't you tell me how the Mexicans handle their border with Guatemala? Is it open? Do you know?
No. Do you?

What "talking points" are those?
