EVERY person on FR who opposes this Dubai deal is also in favor on constructing a bigass wall along the mexican border.

I wouldn't say every person.

It looks like you live as far away from the Mexican border as possible. I wonder if you might feel differently living in a border state and seeing with your own eyes the results of the one million illegal aliens who have crossed over each year since Bush entered office.

I agree with you, living in Texas and having lived in Southern California.

You know, this DPW move was smart on their part. It could have been handled better here, that's for sure. However, I think it's reasonable for them to have whatever negative reaction they will have. It's a disappointment to them, to put it mildly. If they are going to act up on a grand scale because of this small(in the context of their global operations) deal, then perhaps their motives were not as clean as was being presented. So what they lose 9 ports in the US? In the grand scheme of things, this does not seem that huge. Let them threaten, they have the right to. The bottom line is, it's business, if you listen to how it's portrayed. They don't need the ports here and they aren't going to suffer tragically if they don't get them. Let them do what they will. These are consequences I can live with.
