I’m not at all sure that it is helpful to the discussion to call your fellow freepers “fools” and “idiots”, do you?

Nothing about this plan to improve legal transportation and commerce contradicts conservatives’ basic support of *legal* immigration, anymore than the `Tijuana Trolley’ did thirty years ago.
I’m sure a good deal of the expense will be security, as you say, to interdict contraband, free-booting aliens and other illegal activity.

I worked at an El Cajon (western San Diego county, sat in a bowl, hot as ****) warehouse that handled picture frames made in Mexico, before China undercut their cheap prices.
Two of my coworkers made the trip into work from their homes in Mexico every day, that’s how easy it was for them; conversely, a lot of San Diegans made the trip down to Tijuana every week or so to fill up their cars with cheap Mexican gas.

Illegal “immigration” is southern California’s problem but they’ve made it all of ours. They’ve done such a great job so far as a clearing house for illegals, providing safe haven, safe house, etc., the rest of us will just sit back and watch, as usual, stuned.
Lately I’m thinking a complete moratorium on all immigration (that is, legal immigration, excepting applications being processed) might be a good idea, until we manage to get the wire unwrapped from the tractor’s axle following 30 years of federal neglect and kicking this can down the road.
That belief still doesn’t contradict what San Diego is planning: expediting legal commerce between our two countries, even if Mexico is a corrupt, lawless ****hole, and not our friend.

I suppose by your lights that conclusion still makes me an idiot and fool. You argue like a lefty.
