Have you looked at the breakdown of the results on the poll question tonight?
I voted yesterday re: immigration and I was astonished to see that the most gung-ho for shuting the borders and militarizing them, were NON-MEMBERS---
Where did that come from---I thought we had a hearty group of FR members that feel that way, but members mostly went with the "enforce the laws we already have" choice...
Makes ya wanna go hmmmmmmm.....
I'm against shutting the border down and militarizing it. Anybody heard of NAFTA? I live in San Diego and I like going to Mexico to party and have fun with my friends in a much more free environment than the autocratic USA. What we should isntead do is work with Mexico to secure their borders, I don't want to need a passport to get through the gates to the USA, All I use now is my CA Driver's License! So much better. I would support making it easier for immigrants to get in LEGALLY. But not making it harder. I believe we need to crack down on the illegal immigrants already inside of our borders. 75% of our jail populations are illegal immigrants. I don't thinkt hat militarizing the border will help, it will only restrict my rights as a citizen to cross the borders at my free will. We need to work towards UNIFYING North America. Think of how much stronger our nation would be if we had the military support and legal power of Central America as well. Mexico is boosting our economy right now and we are boosting their's. Work with mexico, work against Iran and Syria!
It makes sense because we don't actually need to militarize the borders or anything like that. If we enforce the hundreds of laws already in place, this problem will be gone with in weeeks. Like my teacher said, we have too many laws. Don't need anymore.
