Using that same logic - why aren't they doing it from the south?
We go to California every year and drive from San Diego up to 101 then to Solvang and San Francisco. We've been stopping at this place for years now.
How do you realistically seal 20 thousand miles or so of border and coastline?
5915 Kanan Rd., Agoura Hills.
Mexico is the larger problem as they keep spitting in our faces and urinating on our shoes.
I haven't noticed huge unassimilated communities of Canadians working illegally around here, maybe they are all in Maine?
Canada is controlled by corrupt labor unions.
You're missing the point, like the other thread on this exact subject. Additionally, you're ignoring the point of the article itself.
My sole point - how can you protect one border, and ignore all of the others, if what you're truly concerned about is terrorism?
Answer: You can't.
Not that the Spanish colonial system was any better.
How about us ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT types that think the borders should be protected (all of them)and that anyone that knowingly hires an illegal immigrant should serve a mimimum of five years in the Federal Pen?
Fine - but still not the point of the article, and irrelevant where my point is concerned.
After they kicked the Spaniards out they destroyed most institutions of higher learning that had been built and funded by Spain.
Mexico then, almost immediatelly, morphed into what it is today: a cesspool!
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
The Spanish colonial, while it had periods of significant accomplishments, was extremely corrupt and decrepit by the time of the Revolution.
However, you are correct about the inability of Mexico, and most other Latin American countries, to develop efficient systems of government since gaining their independence.
Here I am.
Wait! I reread what you said.....I am NOT NOT NOT anti-Mexican.
There's this thing called ILLEGAL that I'm against.
Canada isn't overly populated I think? Keeping these guys under surveillance or rounded up shouldn't be too hard, IMO.
Naples, FL?
I believe it, BTTT!
