and by the way, I live within a few hours of our southern border and “have a horse in this race.”
Good for you. I've seen other Freepers say that they live almost ON the border. One of them stated that she is terrified of the Mexican gang members flooding over and past her land.
But never mind that. Pay no attention to her, because that kind of information, that kind of reality, isn't what you want to hear. Focus, instead, on your own self-righteousness, and how good it feels to congratulate yourself on your caring and concern for the plight of those poor, helpless invaders.
