Come spend a couple days and nights on the border from Columbus, NM, west. Then let's talk about how to stop a hemorrhage with band aids, and about the merits of a Berlin Wall across the New Mexico border.
A majority of Americans want the border secured.
Even though its part of their Constitutional duties and oath of office -- SECURE-PROTECT-DEFEND --- our elected politicos in DC don't have the political will to get the job done. The GOP and PresBush have failed the American people in this regard.
Should the day come that our lax border security leads to a terrorist attack that kills American citizens, I will have great difficulty supporting this President anylonger.
The President has been given fair notice by the American people. Poll after poll shows Americans want serious immigration reform that secures the borders, punishes employers who hire illegals and halts all welfare handouts to illegals. The longer the GOP and this President screw around and don't address the issue properly, the greater likelihood a terrorist, or terrorists, will enter the US illegally and kill Americans. It's that simple.
That center perimter between the two fences would be perfect for military use in the event of of heightened national emergency.
