Title: Drug War v. Illegal Aliens v. Main Street
Post by: WhiskeyGirl on December 14, 2010, 01:32:12 PM
Why are drugs so plentiful?  Violence so widespread along the border?

If they locked down the border to keep out drugs, how would the illegal aliens get through?

How would the Democrat party grow their base?  Republicans?

Why are Americans being held hostage by greedy politicians?

It seems like they've had decades to lock down the southern border. 

What do they do instead?  Increase welfare benefits for illegal aliens, and the families of illegal alien.

How can they get 100 million new illegal aliens to migrate to the US if they lock down the border?

Why don't they just say no to illegal aliens and drugs and terrorists and lock up the border?

"You have a situation on the border where American citizens are being killed," he told MSNBC. "I think we have to use every aspect of law enforcement that we have, including the military. I think you have the same situation as you had in Colombia. Obviously, Mexico has to approve any type of assistance that we can give them."
