Dear "top cop for Mexico":
Nobody ever said the border was a terror TARGET, you idiot. It's a terror CONDUIT.
Hand in your badge, moron. You're fired.
Some bad mushrooms in this guy's burrito.
NAAAAAAH....
He's too busy supervising the flow of drugs into the U.S. to bother with minor distractions.
He will keep his opinion the same as long as he keeps getting his cut from the coyotes.
I'll take "Things Al qaeda Marxist shills say" for 500 Alex
Says he with hand behind back, palm up.
We ain't letting no steenkin' terroristas into you steenkin' country, gringo!
Let's say the border was not an actual target. Let's say instead that terrorists merely had to transit the border to attack the US.
Would the US still be jumping the gun by maintaining border concerns?
But then that reasoning still misses the point; the US should enforce its borders irrespective of the small chance terrorists will use our open southern border to make war on us. Indeed, the US should enforce its borders even if it's "just" 3,000 mexicans that invade the country every night for a whole bevvy of lesser crimes.
A growing concern in the the Middle East is whether Iran will take advantage of Iraqi unrest. To that extent, our involvement there involves border concerns.
I find it really, really interesting that Iraqi border concerns command more concern from US authorities than does US border integrity.
I'm not saying that this state of affairs is unprecidented, but can anyone point out a case in which a country was demonstrably concerned more about foreign borders than it's own borders?
and, I care what he thinks because.....
