Those above the fray fail to recognize how our porous souther border causes us to appear weak internationally and how this threatens our endeavors elsewhere such as Iraq and Afganistan.

Do you really think the folks over in Iraq and Afganistan, having seen up close US firepower, really think your country is weak? You can't seriously believe that.

I seriously believe that where you appear weak (our border enforcement) your enemy will ultimately exploit it. Besides, it's an image 'thingy' and it would be wise if we did our best to uphold it. The world's last great superpower ought not have an exposed underbelly. Sneaking into this country ought not be any easier than sneaking onto a Marine base.

I'm sorry, what did you say? That's a bit of an odd way to phrase that comment...

I notice that you didn't say OUR country. Very telling.

Now, compare that quote (on this thread) to this ClintonBeGone quote:

#26: “You couldn't beat the Mexicans lead by brother Santa Anna at the Alamo - You're certainly not going to beat Mara Salvatrucha with a bunch of fat old ex-supply sergeants.”

It's obvious why you're in favor of illegal aliens flooding America. Have you ever recited the Pledge of Allegiance to these United States with a clear conscious?
