I remember thinking that we would finally secure our border now that we were under attack...........
What I think about are those who gave their lives for our country.
They will always remain in our hearts and God has blessed their sacrifice.
“No greater love hath a man than he who lays down his life for his fellow.”
We are all in their debt.

Frankly as much as I was glad to have President Bush instead of gore, we would be MUCH better off today had it been President Trump.
I was working at a Port of Entry as a contractor...the instinct of those supervisors on the ground was to close the border. In fact some smaller border crossings were briefly closed. Common sense. Then word came down from above, not to close the border. That seems like a meaningless blip, of course legal crossings would at some point need to open, but the order was not to close them at all.
It did strike me as very odd, and still does that the official word was not to close even temporarily, even while we were under attack and so much was unknown.
We should have shut the border crossings, increased security and then reopened them. We should have secured the entire border ASAP, as a security priority. It has always been a huge question in my mind why we didn’t.
