That's what happens in a war and we are in a war right? Do you think that men women and children haven't been killed in Germany, Japan, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan? It's regrettable but it happens in every war. Terrorists are crossing our borders along with the men, women and children. We can't take that chance. If nothing else it will serve as a deterrent for all illegal infiltrators. We are either at war as the President has said or we aren't. We need to start acting like a country that is at war.
Amen!
Gee. Have they listed the gender, and/or age of those just killed in London?????
Actually I dont think it would be a deterrent. It would just get quite a few Mexicans killed and their families along with them.
Sealing a border that large is not going to fix it. The illegals will ALWAYS try to find a way because I guess they don't see any alternative.
As for the terrorists, they could use the desperation of the Mexicans for getting into our country to their advantage. I say COULD because there haven't been any caught yet that we know of. There have been Arabs I believe, but we don't know if they were terrorists or not.
sure women and children have been killed in war. it does happen. But it was NOT intentional, save the nuclear bombs in Japan. But even then we didn't quite know what that would do. To do it intentionally is NOT what America is about.
"We need to start acting like a country that is at war."
Very true. But we're not being called to make ANY sacrifices on behalf of the war effort (completely opposite of our national, shared sacrifice of WWII).
We should steel ourselves for the inevitable. Given our current border situation and near-impossibility to stop something like today's London attacks, something similar in the USA is probably inevitable.
Hopefully, our resolve will be more like the Israelis than the Spanish.
