Really? Why doesn't the president seal the borders of the United States? Why have 50,000 visas been issued to Middle Easterners (non-Israeli) SINCE September 11th? An America with open borders cannot be secure.
We could have open borders, at least with Canada, if we had a President who was actually committed to the war on terrorism.
You see, he, Ridge, and General Ashcroft, would rather fight the war on terrorism in our airports, on the airwaves, and on the internet and in the courtrooms, and subvert the Constitution, rather than goto the source.
In other words, they would rather fight the war on terrorism here in America rather than overseas. It's a lot easier to make American citizens suffer while doing whatever "for the good of the people" than going overseas and going after the extremists.
Either they believe Americans don't have the stomach for our troops going door to door in the hot spots of the world (such as the Israelis are having to do), or they'd rather increase the size/power of the government.
