What do you think about the fact that we are doing everything we can as a nation to capture thug terrorists, but you can still walk over our southern border anytime, day or night, and never have to worry about being captured?
Many women are complaining, as I am, that we are being virtually molested at the airport prior to getting on an aircraft, and all in the name of national security, yet our southern border is as porous as it has ever been.
Doesn't that make you mad, all you ladies out there who have had a some guy's unwelcome hand on your body as he "pats" you down at the airport?
What about the fact that we have begun to allow our government to spy on each and everyone of us in ways that we never would have allowed prior to 9/11/01? A computer network of incredible power is listening to your calls. When it hears a keyword, the conversation will be flagged for humans to listen to, but while you were being monitored by government computers for the fist time in US history, people were running over the southern border, and some may well have been carrying a small part of a rocket, or a launcher for rockets like the one found by an airport recently.
Our government is creating a new security agency which will cost billions per year to operate. That wouldn't be a bad thing if they could ensure our security, but while they will be monitoring the lives of many if not most Americans, the southern border stands wide open like a huge gate on a ranch that is allowing dangerous bulls to escape into the pasture next door where little children are playing.
