You're mixing two issues here...........related but not conjoined.

We need much stronger border security, which is being worked on (finally) by John Kyl, et al....

I do not believe we have 'surrendered' the border, but I believe we need to do yeoman's work to get control of it, both political and civilian.

But that does not preclude free trade.

They are not the same issue.

The "border" is an unmitigated security disasater.

And WHY must we await a bill submitted by a House member before doing something about the border?

Isn't the President supposed to lead?? Naaah, he's the problem -- NO denying it.

As to "free trade," American can NOT compete with the cheap labor of Latin America. We're screwed.
