Joe, please think what you're asking.

Yes, I should be ashamed for thinking our leaders should secure our country from the endless millions entering illegally from who knows where.

I don't know what I was thinking. Forgive me.

Joe, I've asked it before, and you've just gotten all emotional on me. How would you secure every in of every border? How would you get rid of every potential terrorist IN the country, especially if they were born here? How is it possible to make us "secure"?

It's impossible, Joe. A better question would be, do you think security is more important than freedom? Because perfect protection--or even the level of protection that the old USSR had--involves a significan tradeoff in liberty for the average "Joe."

As another poster said, we are responsible for our own personal security. Not even a dictator of the US could make us "secure."
