I strongly suggest that you look more carefully at your map with regard to the distance of the US/Mexican border . Your estimations as to the difficulties & expense of improving the defenses of this nation at its border are at the very best & most charitably described as simply defeatist. I agree that the greatest threat to the liberty of the American citizen is the American govt. through its willing neglect of the borders & corruption of the elected officials but most importantly by the utter contempt that the government has for the citizens from whom they derive their authority. Also bear in mind that the govt. of Mexico has publicly stated that there are regions & cities in Mexico along the border with the US that are at risk of societal/political collapse Nuevo Laredo is rapidly devolving into Mogadishu on the Rio Grande more of these failed cities/states are on the way & does any one truly believe that the trouble from all these failed government's will stay only on the Mexican side of the border? We will have no choice but to refortify the border unless you & the other open borders crowd would prefer to see open warfare on the streets of this country because as it stands now this nations borders are for all intents & purposes nonresistant.

I don't really think you can lump joanie in with the
"open borders crowd".

What are you smoking???

The whole point of Joanie's response is that we can built a wall along the entire southern border, and man it with guard stations every half mile, for 15% of what it costs us each year to provide for the illegals that are already here. She's also invoking Samuel Adams's call for doing everything we can to protect our life, liberty and property. And you call her an advocate of "open borders?"

As for the "miles are bigger than kilometers" agrument, she already admitted above that she divided by .62 instead of multiplying.

You might also want to read the last 2 paragraphs of what she wrote, and then come back with your accusation that she is a member of the open borders crowd.

Learn to read. You're firing at your own troops.
