Are you saying that the Texas border would be less protected from illegals and drug dealers if it were a nation than it is now and do you believe that foreigners would just come in and have Ft. Hood for their own training base?
That’s exactly what I’m saying. An angry mob is not going to be as effective as the trained professionals that are protecting you right now. The politicians may be morons, but the Border Patrol agents and active duty service personnel are doing a better job than a group of well meaning but untrained citizens.
