When a caller asked Hunter what we could do to about Mexico’s corruption, Hunter said we can’t change that, but what we need to do is protect OUR country.

Caller said that Hunter was “hell of a man” in Viet Nam, but Hunter was modest, as usual, and said he’s no hero, but his officer son (who did two tours in Iraq, including Fallujah & will do a 3rd tour in Afghanistan) is a hero.

Here is an excerpt from a previous interview that will expand on that:

Duncan Hunter: ...I think the politicians in Mexico City like the open border because it is a pressure release valve for them. If they don’t take care of their people if they don’t provide economic opportunity, and they don’t, than instead of their voters throwing them out of office they want people to vote with their feet and just leave the country. And that is what they do. They vote with their feet and leave the country and come to the United States. I think there is nothing wrong with letting that pressure build up and result in a changed political system that hopefully results in freedom for the people rather than have them vote with their feet and come to the United States and do another Amnesty.
