"Close the borders."

Details, details.

I could offer up a solution to all our problems too!

Here it is: "Kill all the bad guys".

Now...why haven't we done that?

"Close the borders"

I guess you would want the miles of borders with Mexico mined, then we can all sit back and watch the endless films of women and children blown to hell on CNN.

And who the hell needs all the billions of dollars in tourism anyway? I'm sure the owners and employees of all the businesses that will fail will understand.

Don't forget to post military personnel along the Mexican and Canadian borders, we also need them watching every mile of coastline, every airport, every harbour, all train stations, bus stations...looking a bit like the old USSR, aren't we?

Oh...figure out how to get around that annoying Posse Comitatus Act while you're at it.

"Cut back on immigration"

To what?

"Round up and deport all illegals and undesireables"

We'll need more troops, to search every street in America. We could set up neighborhood watch committees to report suspicious-looking people to the Feds.

We'll also need something that would identify those of us who are entitled to be here, maybe an ID card of some sort?

I'm with you brother! Let's preserve our civil liberties!

You may not like my ideas, perhaps you could offer up some of your own. At least something other than "get people that don't belong here out of here"

"Develop a civilian defense program similar to what we had during WWII"

Did we close the borders in WWII?

No.

Pretty amazing considering the fact that there was nothing but water separating Los Angeles from the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Franklin was actually talking about you.

Is that a thinly disguised way to change the verbage "illegal immigration' to 'tourism".....do you really want us to believe that illegal aliens are tourists?

Surely you can't mean this; surely I've read you wrong......I mean, tourists generally don't hire coyotes to lead them through brush along dirt paths to unwatched spots along the border of two countries and then try to cross the tourist over before the Border Patrol comes along.
