"this is the kind of talk, even though I know its in jest (I hope), that makes FR look bad, and frankly emboldens those who want to paint people in legitimate opposition to this bill, as "kooks". we don't want electrified fences, moats of boiling oil, gun turrets, et al along the southern border"
Of course we don't to look in.........sensitive.....
to the millions crossing our borders every year....illegally
we can have security fences, patrols, border agents interdicting them, surveillance, and a range of other things - without these measures.
c'mon, let's get real here.
and let me also add - right now, most americans are in favor of border security. but allow the media to run a few months of "rodney king" style videos of people being gunned down at the border, or caught in an electrified fence, or a moat of boiling oil - and US public opinion will turn. do you want that?
