Clearly Once-ler was trying to invite his FR cohorts onto the thread to create division and animus - like most of them do. If you don't count yourself among them my apologies.

I'm one who favors tight border security (the southern AND northern borders), but without the use of the military, the crucifixion of any and all businesses who employ illegals, halting our ridiculous "catch and release" system, and the immediate deportation of any and all illegals caught by local and State law enforcement. That's where I personally stand on this issue.

However, this subject can't be reasonably discussed on Free Republic. That's the lay of the land. So I avoid it if I can. Both sides are so over the top in their rhetoric, it hurts.
