Oh, please. We could put the highest wall on the border and a million troops, and AQ would still get in if they wanted. Hundreds, if not thousands of AQ are getting across the desert from Iran to Iraq today, and we've got the troops and equipment and ability to use deadly force, and it still doesn't stop them.
You can make the argument that it would be a bad idea to invite the entire population of mexico into the US, but the argument that the border is some kind of security threat is just dumb.
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.
If there is a border security threat, it's not mexico, it's Canada.
McCain's got his serious faults and supported some dumb stuff. But accusing him of not being serious about defending the nation because he wanted to change the immigration laws is off the mark.
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.

I think we should close ALL doors before muttering platitudes.
