Ok....grant your wish. Borders locked down. Big push made, and a big show of "looky us, megasecure borders" woohoo!

Then 19 hijackers legally inside the country take over airplanes and crash them into buildings. Terrorists rejoice. Mission accomplished.

If you claim to support the theory (as I do) that you have to kill and disassemble terrorists at their source BEFORE they get here, then you have to believe it here too.

One hole in the border ANYWHERE makes it useless. So a dollar spent on border "security" is one less dollar spent on disarming Qaddaffi or dropping a JDAM on Zarqawi.

Exactly. But you've got union thugs of the border patrol that would rather bash the President and scare the citizens into keeping their paper pushing, donut eating jobs.

Many areas of the border are uncrossable due to the heat and desert. We had control of the borders before political correctness corrupted our society and can have control again. It is not really a matter of cost but efficiency. However saying we should just leave the borders wide open is ridiculous!
