Yes but what does that have to do with closing the border to immigration? My god, here we are in Afghanastan, helping build a new nation there and they hate us. Here we are looking to seal off Mexico and they don't hate us.

Does your massive immigration to the US apply only to Mexicans or should we go get all the people out of India, Red China, African nations, Haiti and any other poor country so they can have all the same benefits as the Mexicans? It's probably only fair to demand the US arrange charter flights to those countries to bring them all here.

Huh? It has everything to do with closing the boarders to immigration.

Just because they come across the border from Mexico or Canada, doesn’t mean that they are Hispanic, or American-Indian, or White, or whatever. It means that the borders are too porous, and we need to make sure that the enemies of the Nation do not come across those borders.

Oh.... and don't ever think that we are nation building in Afgahnistan. We aren't. We are re-arranging the landscape and letting someone else rebuild. It's harsh; but how much nation building have we done? None. That has been the UN. But then that's another thread and a whole other topic.
