that would be true except neither mexico nor us are into military invasion nor discussing nuclear strikes as a means of settling our differences. the financial rain of wars which we are doing in 3 countries, far exceeds the costs of our problems with mexico.
Problems with Mexico..including drug wars, and illegal immigration has cost the U.S. Trillions of dollars. It's more than enough to do something about it. I completely agree with the OP's quote. It's time America does something about it.
Being defenseless against an invasion is worse. We have troops and it does not make sense we are defending other countries for free
Are you scared to defend your country?
What are you trying to imply with the last part of this? I stated my opinion on the matter... I think that at the first sign of an escalation, things will get worse. That's all. I do agree that something needs to be done, though.

Have you people even bothered to find out the type of screening that happens at your northern border? Nope; didn't think so!
Here's the deal for retired Canadians travelling south with money to spend for the winter.
Questions:
While waiting in vehicle line; it is routine to have the 'sniffer' dogs walked up the line and close to all of the vehicles.
Passport, title to vehicle and proof of insurance.
What is your destination?
Do you own property in the U.S.? The answer to this question prompts them to require or ask for proof of a "closer connection" to Canada in the form of current bank account pass books or statements, Property tax receipts for our property in Canada, current copy of utility bills for that property AND income tax forms proving we have paid income tax on Canadian income and that we do not have investment income in the U.s. in amounts that would require an IRS filing.
How much money are you bringing with you? this is to assure we will not be a burden on your welfare rolls I guess.
Then the routine stuff of fruits and vegaetables begins.
If he/she is not satisfied with ANY of the answers then it's off to secondary inspection for a thorough search of the vehicle.
Porous my ass!
I have yet to witness ANY mexican get asked any of this stuff and believe me I've crossed that border many times WITH THEM at both San Luis and Los Algodones and witnessed your own returning citizens getting scrutinized far more aggressively at that "Lower Viscious Border". I have also witnessed the Mexican military enter your country illegally at the Imperial Sand Dunes area to escort Mexican thieves with a stolen pick-up back across the border while he was being chased by your Border Patrol. I have also been present at Los Alogodones when a pick-up truck loaded with stolen steel irrigation gates being chased by troopers was allowed into Mexico while the Mexican border agents drew their guns lest the troopers fail to stop in time!
Attempts to compare the two for either security or porousity is idiotic as anyone whose seen the daily goings-on of both up close and personal and doesn't have a Washington driven agenda to deflect from that lower one will tell you.
Majority of illegals and crime come from Mexico or Canada?
Most Canadians who come here actually love their own country more. That's the major difference, they might enjoy a vacation here but they want to go back home. Not so with the Mexicans coming over. Once they get a glimpse of the food stamps, the bigger money, they never want to live in their own country again.

Living about 9 miles from Juarez, I can tell you that everything that is being said here is true on the border, which is not to mention, our university being fired on from across the border as well as our Court House. A university in the valley (south texas) was also fired on from across the border. If it is so terribly overblown, then why not send your child or grandchild to one of these institutions for college. It's all BS anyway right??
Crime was good back then, bank robbers and bootleggers.
Oh yeah; business for Capone and the boys thrived up here. Even tunnels from Manitoba into the states for pipes to transport booze from distillers in Winnipeg to wharehouses just across the border, then trucked wherever after that.
Some nice high speed Ditchburns etc., running cases of Scotch and Rye Whiskey's across the St Lawrence River near the Thousand Island areas.
Boy; those must have been exciting times for law enforcement.
Now Washington's politics hamstring the various states attempts to police their borders with Mexico and, further afield, they also restict the crafting of laws to identify and expel illegals in the rest of the country.
Iraq invaded Kuwait and M1A1 Tanks and A-10 Warthogs were used to expel the Iragi's from another country's borders while your southern border remains porous and subject to incursions to this very day in spite of billions spent on placebo window dressing.
It's gotta be that love affair with the cheap labour coming north. It cannot possibly be the voting base as Illegals can't vote - - right?
