<< "If America, a rich superpower cannot stop Mexicans crossing into the United States, then how can we, a poor country, be expected to stop "palestinians" getting into Iraq?" >>

He picked the wrong example.

Should have said, "if America ... for fifty years could so easily stop the Soviets crossing into Western Europe and the North Koreans from entering South Korea, then how can we, despite being a barbaric poor excuse for a state, not be expected to stop a few of our "palestinian" surrogates from getting into Iraq?"

And then to have added to the effect that if we do not, who will blame America from doing it to and for us?

"If America cannot stop Mexicans..."

Major difference:

Mexicans crossing the border into the U.S. want more freedom and a better way of life.

Syrians and Palestinians crossing the border into Iraq want to kill people who want to give others more freedom and a better way of life.

We can stop criminal invaders from crossing the Mexican border in one week. Stop them cold, 100%, and all it will take is a single order from the White House to the Border Patrol.

For us? Us I guess
