OK...tell me how you can stop everyone from entering the country without creating havoc with our economy.

That's exactly what 9/11 was designed to do...to create a desire in the American people to completely shut down our borders, at the cost of our freedom and our economy. And I say at the cost of our freedoms because the moment that I can't invite friends, family, or business associates to come visit, and we stop tourists from coming, we not only significantly hurt our economy, but our psrsonal freedoms as well.

We were attacked, but fighting back is taking the fight to them, and destroying them were they live.

Excellent post, Luis!

And points that I need to think about myself, when my urge to have us shut down the borders entirely kicks in (which is does quite often).

It would only hurt America in both the long, and short run....

THAT is why it is SO important to take the fight to the enemy........regardless of the cost. Because the benefit is much greater.
