McCain's way is to bring the war to the enemy in their own country and kill the terrorists there and leave our back doors open.

Obama believes we should not attack the terrorists at all and keep our borders open. This is dangerous but not as dangerous as McCain's way


McCain's way, which is basically Bush's way, has worked for the last 6 years. How long do you think the terrorists would refrain from attacking President Obama's America?

Don't get me wrong. I think closing the borders is an important part of national security. However, I don't think we can ever secure the borders to the extent that we could prevent a determined terrorist from crossing the border illegally. A smart terrorist would cross via Canada rather than Mexico anyway...and we are not going to build a fence along the northern border.

Neither do I. But I think a little effort would help us minimize the chances just like setting up speed traps on our highways do with speeders.

We should atleast TRY
