Quote by: bishop finally, the national guard is being used to defend the country from foreign invasion.. we have every right to secure our borders - in fact, we're one of the only countries in the world that chooses to leave it unguarded. |
I doubt that we will be seeing too many well funded terrorists trekking across the desert when there are so many better and easier ways to cross the border. This is just more fear mongering by the Bush adminstration, trying to satisfy the xenophobic right who wants to stop folks willing to work hard in order to make better lives for themselves and their families - those evil brown bastards, from crossing the border. It won't make us one iota safer. It will just stretch our over-stretched National Guard a little thinner just in time for hurricane season.
And Bishop, most countries except police states or those bordering police states have relatively unguarded borders. We are just one step closer now to becoming a police state ourselves. Troops on the border, wiretapping and monitoring of domestic phone calls, emails and browsing, the FBI spying on peace groups and NSA spying on everyone else.
Welcome to George Bush's America where the slogan "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" have been replaced by "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid."
