Since you do not understand generaliztions, let me be a little more basic: The closed border policy has nothing to do with national security. It is directed at Mexico, not Canada, and its main targets are hispanic, not arabic.

Once again dealing with drug smugglers and people smugglers and the rising crime rates and the terrorists that can come across the border is national security.

And yes in fact more than mexicans come across that border.

Really, most who I talk to, want ALL borders closed until our gov't can CONTROL all US immigration.

Most want our gov't to enforce ALL US laws, not just 'pick & choose' the laws they want to enforce.

Is it America's fault that *most* of our illegals come from mexico ??? Is it our fault they refuse to learn English ???

How 'bout a little *blame* on the "arrogant Vincente" ??? A BILLION a month to mexico, plus what "his mexicans" cost us in the USA, yet he continues to 'fight for the whole enchilada'.

that was the pre-9/11 closed border policy, the rationale for which has not gone away. There is now also a national security component, since the border patrol is apprehending illegals from terrorist-sponsoring states. It is true that most illegals are not terrorists, but that doesn't mean they don't create a different set of problems for us. That doesn't mean we should tolerate their presence in this country.
