With all due respect....if we have neither the political will, men, or material to "police thousands of miles of (our) border" to protect our OWN Democracy....we sure as $h!t have ABSOLUTLY NO RIGHT, or MANDATE to send men, and materials half way across the world to install a supposedly "Democratic" form of government in some turd world Rat-hole.
WOT, or not. To keep doing nothing (or throw a measly 1000 additional HS agents on the border) or continue this dog and pony show, is just a pointless folly.
We send in 187 billion to "protect out national interests" in the crap hole called Iraq and let tens of thousands of "unknowns" meander across our borders unaccounted for each month.
Ironic?
Just plaine stupid?
A sellout?
a Joke?
No land mines, bombs and such needed.
We can put a man on the moon and we can not secure our borders? We have no right to even exist as a nation then.
Stick a fork in us (the US) we're done.
No. Things just have to change before people make the border a priority. There is no mandate to get violent now. That may change.
Amen, brother!
