Duh, we obviously need to have Canada pay for a big and beautiful wall along the entire Canadian border. And also, Canada must prevent terrorists in Canada from training on paragliders, ladders, and wall-scaling techniques.
Oh, and don't forget about the walls on our eastern and western seaboards. And OMG, I forgot to mention the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe Cuba will pay for that last one.
Congress should not allocate a penny for enforcement at border crossing stations until foreign countries pay for all those border walls and until the Democrats support Jim Jordan to be Speaker of the House.
Thanks for the history lesson. We can fix the problem in our schools we just don't have the will to do it. We can harden our schools, we can revamp the justice system in ways that a child with a criminal record can't procure a firearm.
We need to do both. For you it's one or the other. We have a porous border with hundreds of thousands of young military aged men in our country and we have no clue as to who they are, their affiliations or reasons for coming here. We have a drug crisis and cartels that should be labelled terrorist entities. Terrorist today are extremely capable and sophisticated. Our threat assessment is high and our vulnerabilities are many and if for some reason we have a military spat with Iran, Hezbollah or China I can assure you cells from those countries are here right now. I'm not fear mongering. I remember after 911 as a commander of a facility we had to take measures to harden all our military facilities. In country we had to do frequent internal threat assessments as well as updating external assessment per DoD DIRECTIVES. We did that because the threat was real. Go on any military post and you will see those barriers are still in place. Gates were repositioned to minimize the effects of a truck bomb. The threat assessment is worse today. Our children are prime soft targets, they affect our psyche the most as has been demonstrated by past shootings. All I suggest is we are way behind the eight ball but you all go ahead and believe what you want. Just because our border agents are nabbing more individuals on the terror watchlist doesn't mean the threat is minimized, just the opposite. We interdict more drugs than ever, that just means more is getting through, to arrive at any other conclusion is stupidity on steroids. Biden's feckless border policy has put us in danger.
