No, in this case they are not lying to us. Our border is nearly as porous as theirs. It sucks that they are right, but they are.
I will not give aid and comfort to the enemy (Syria not Mexico).
How does admitting a valid point give aid and comfort to the enemy? You really think the U.S. just going to back off of Syria because they made a valid point? You are more credible when you don't deny that which is true. The U.S. should concede the point as valid, and move on with our agenda.
Defending the indefensible makes us no better. We don't need to lie to be right. I really don't want a Baghdad Bob running our foreign policy. "Mexicans, what Mexicans????".
If you want to extend the War on Terror and the Axis of Evil to Mexico state your position clearly.
I want to extend the war against terrorism to secure both the northern and southern borders of the United States. That is my clear position, and I have stated it.
I think it is madness.
Opinion duly noted. I disagree.
