I am more likely to be the drunk driving victim, murder victim, rape victim, etc. of an illegal alien before I am the victim of a terrorist based on where I live.
That makes both issues important.......but that’s just me.
“The 9/11 terrorists got into the country while the southern border was at it’s most porous, but they came in through the front door, international airports.”
I think we should close ALL doors before muttering platitudes.
Several of the 911 hijackers were here illegally and got fake papers through the locals’ amigo at the DMV. Illegal immigration has become an industry, and one that undermines us in many ways.
My bad. I apologize for not doing my homework.
The issue of what to do with American troops in Iraq is of far more pressing concern than that of the borders. The latter is a problem that has been 50+ years in the building, and will take 20 more years to solve.
McCain's analysis is correct, and the consequences of being wrong (by leaving Iraq) will come a lot sooner, and be worse for us and the rest of the world.
I just love how some people think they can win an argument by being condescending.
Tells me alot.
My condescension toward you is real, and based on the fact that you couldn't, even this once, leave illegal immigration out of the discussion. Not everything revolves about that one issue, no matter how hard you try to make them do so.
Your comment told me a lot, and I figured you needed your failings spelled out for you.
You are a name on a screen and I really don’t give a rat’s pahoot what you think about me.
Bugger off.
