closing the border should have zero to do with swine flu, imho.

legal air/vehicle traffic will spread this a lot more than illegals crossing the border.

if you were sick, would you be able to trek all those miles on foot? probably not. i would be careful using the flu for this cause. it clouds the issue.

I think if we can use the flu to get the border closed, it will be very hard to get it opened again.

But....it doesn't really matter because the border will never be closed. If it wasn't closed after 9-11, it never will be.

That is why all traffic must be stopped.

The border should literally close. Nobody in and out from the southern border. Anybody trying from boat, air or see should be killed.

see should be car.
