[A Balrog of Morgoth]

A strong defense would be bringing the troops home from the middle east and putting them on our southern border.

Nice logical fallacy. It's not an either/or proposition, as you well know. Even if it was, I would think Mexican laborors are less of an existential threat than Muslim fanatics.

Couldn't we have avoided 9/11 if we had not let the Muslim fanatics into the country in the first place. I'm not a fan of Muslim immigration into the United States either. Come to think about it wouldn't you agree that we would all be better off if Barrak Obama Sr. had not been allowed into the United States?
