“Karl Rove: U.S. Cannot Secure Border”

The replies crowd the mind.

1. We went to the moon, we can’t secure our border?

2. If we cannot secure OUR border, how in Gods’ name will we EVER secure Iraq?

3. A nation that cannot secure it’s borders does not deserve them.

Alaska Pipeline: 2 years permitting, 3 years actual construction of 700 miles from Barrow to Valdez. 7x24x365 in temps of -50F to 95F, in mosquito infested tundra, across the Brooks Range, at a cost of $28 billion (2006 dollars) with 7,000 workers.

You’re right Carl, it can’t be done. /sarc

The question is what is one willing to do to secure a given border. We won't do here what we do there.

Gosh... To talk about being "naive." It took me a long while to finally realize GWB and all his cronnies.

His a** belongs to the corporations pure and simple. He probably owes his entire political life to them. Yes, I know that is what a "Repbulican" president is all about, but there are a bunch of us 'social-conservatives,' who care about many other things than just the mighty buck, who thought this guy cared about the country (not just through corporations) but other things like the invasion of illegals and the long term effects on this country. etc

Karl Rove was a 'genius' only because he was able to dupe the social-conservatives into voting for the Reps in large numbers. Of course, now we know, He and the rest, do not care for those issues at heart, that was just a 'technique,' to increase the vote.

GUESS WHAT... the jig is up! Social conservatives will not support the GOP like that in a long while to come.

We won't, and we don't.

Exactly. Securing our border would be a piece of cake compared to landing men on the moon and bringing them back safely to Earth.

Build a double-walled fence with a road down the middle from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, 2,100 miles in length. Station active duty Army and Marine Corps units along the border.

The only thing difficult about this plan is the lack of political will from the pandering, open border politicians in Washington.
