the British didn't have as many troops in this country, comparatively speaking, as we do illegals. Nor did they have easy access here, nor shared a 2,000 mile common border. We don't need another war.

I detect that you are opposed to war because it might be more costly than we can bear.

Some fights must be fought despite the odds. Sometimes the cost of Losing is far less than the cost of not fighting at all. Wars happen. One fine day the southern states didn't wake up and say, "Hey I got a bright idea. Let's secede from the union." No, it was a long time coming -- and it came. It couldn't not come.

Similarly - we are on the verge of another civil war, with grander, transnational interests involved. This war will not go away if our government continues to pander to those that come here illegal and threaten our security, economy, and culture.

It will definitely not go away, if the illegals, in their arrogance, hoist their own country's flag, on American soil, and with defiance declare the US soil as theirs. The flag is a powerful symbol and to raise it on another's soil, emboldens and encourages others to do likewise and worse. Burning the Mexican flag was symbolic as well. It demostrated that many US citizens will not give in or give up and that they will defend their country even if their government chooses not to. it was important that the flag be burned. The young man should be publically praised not arrested or worse, simply ignored as counter protestor.

These illegals are "pawns", discarded by their own corrupt government that doesn't care about them and is happy they send U.S. dollars back, while not bothering the dictatorship at home. Meanwhile,here in the U.S., their lawbreaking employers happily employ them, pay them less, don't provide benefits, and let the U.S. taxpayers subsidize their social services.

That is exactly why a war is coming.

It is not likely to be talked out of, when so many involved have agendas, not amenable to a lawful & peaceful resolution.

Who are the dupes, yeah, you and I, bud, that's who. And the Boston Tea Party thing, maybe it should be directed at our elected government. They aren't enforcing the laws that would've prevented this problem in the first place.

They certainly have a large share of the blame coming.
