That is how a nation should protect its borders. Unfortunately, we have yet to elect a president who has the backbone to implement such measures.

Not sure who is more loathsome: Jet skiers or snow boarders.

You can't be too careful these days.

“The border between the African nations has been closed since 1994 and Algiers cut diplomatic ties with Rabat in 2021 after a history of tensions and mistrust in the volatile region”

Yet they went jet-skiing there? What freaking idiots? This is truly a FAFO situation.

If only we had the huevos, pelotas, bolas, kiwis, talegas, cojones, and cojones to do that. The millions pouring in would instantly stop after two or three defensive actions like that.

Their border control is a lot better than ours and they’re just a dirt bag country

That shows you how screwed up Libtardism is

“We were low on fuel for the water scooters and were drifting. In the darkness.

What and you thought you would just magickly drift back home someday? I've been stuck on my jet ski its no fun and his statement makes no sense.

Not only were they jet-skiing there, they were doing it at night.

Snow boarders may be the more loathsome narcissists but jet skiers win the disturbing the peace medal hands down.

I see that Saidia IS a resort town in Morocco, and right at the border. Sucks if they truly were out for some fun and ran out of gas. (All of them? At once??)

Oh wait - he said “low on fuel”. That would seem to be a good time to motor on back to shore.

OTO border control is easy there because few people want to go there

Other than the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, France, Germany, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Morocco? (None on jet skis) I can't think of anyone else.

The Barbary pirates. Thomas Jefferson built a navy and took them on. Was it corporate welfare?
