Do you support border enforcement?

Crossing the border of ANY country without going through a legal checkpoint and adhering to the laws of both countries IS A CRIME that needs to be enforced and the violators need to be punished.

This is true of any border, anywhere in the world.

That said, I know and understand the desperate plight of poor Mexicans and my heart is with them.

What they need is not jobs in the US, that only makes them more subject to oppression.

It's guns and ammunition and military support to overthrow the corrupt and fascist overlords in Mexico City who squander the great wealth of the People of Mexico.

The leaders of Mexico are good at creating myths that continue to subject the Mexican people to lives of being poor peasants.....myths that the people, "La Raza" are one people united....... Myths that Mexico is poor.....Myths that they care about Mexicans and are doing all they can....Myths that the US has wronged Mexico and that they are victims.

These are all lies and anyone who chooses to look at the facts will see this. There is only one solution for Mexico and it involves bloodshed in Mexico City, not on the northern frontier.

Yes. Our borders are ours to enforce, and to ensure that people who come into our country do so legally.

I welcome immigrants, as long as they come here in a lawful manner and are law-abiding while they are here.

Oobily Ghepp

Actually, yes. Even though you would clasify me as a liberal, I believe that, if Mexicans can get through, so can unsavory characters and trouble-makers. But I don't believe the mexicans should be punished for trying to survive. What about the Canadian border and the shorelines?

Rebel Gal

Uh, yeah.

Hold em Rox.

Yes, yes I do. There isn't enough enforcement at the moment in my opinion. You know what's funny tho, is the Pres. didn't send any troops down there until the Minutemen (aka "vigilantes") started patrolling the borders. LOL
It took a group of Civilians to prove to the Gov. AND the country how bad it really was on the border.
Even with the troops down there it still isn't enough, we need to utilize the technology we have and get serious !!
We can build a wall that would be hard to get over/under/ or around. If the ancient Chinese can do it ....I seriously believe that modern man can definitely achieve it.

One Big Daddy

No cotton picking doubt about it

seeker100

yes

HEATHER

Yes and not just the physical borders, but all of the illegals that get here on student or travel visas.

Jim

Yes

Zebra4

I guess so, if they're going to do it right. Then, it might help prevent terrorists from coming in through Mexico and Canada. Problem is, it's not well enforced, sooo...

southernvaughan

One hundred percent I think we should just close off the borders to this country and stop growing beans.

TexasLSUTiger

Hell yeah! Every other country protects their borders tooth and nail except us. It's only a matter of time before another 9/11 or some other crazy terrorists tries to attack again. I don't mind immigrants or tourists or anything that is good for our country. However - illegal aliens, criminals, terrorists, or general rif-raff should be kept out. This is the land that takes the downtrodden and the people who need hope, or want to make something of their lives. It's not a place to hide criminals, terrorists, or people who just want to hurt others for no good reason but their own selfish motives. We need tanks, soldiers, walls, guns and good decision making at our borders. It's our first and best defense to protect our nation.

GoWhitey33

Yup.

Bassman58

Yes, I support it. It comes with a cost. Illegals are arrested and deported, but a majority of them will make their way back to the US as they have no roots there, starting the process all over again. It will continue to feed our prison population and we the tax payers will pay for it.

missourim43

How in the world can there be any answer other than ABSOLUTLY YES !!??

conundrum_dragon

Yes

steak

Yea I do. Its not fair people sneaking in takeing from us.

mckellmail

I am Canadian and I say yes.
As for those who think that terrorists are coming over the Canadian border - prove it. All the attacks in the USA were either homegrown (Oklahoma City) or came right to the States legally (9/11).
We can make a deal - you keep the guns on your side of the border and we'll keep the marijuana on our side.

Yes. However, they can't have guns in their hands. They should have something.. How about clickers (counters).. So each time someone goes over the border, they can point and click.

shermynewstart

Absolutely. But it doesn't stop there. The latest thing I heard was that there will be a program to bring Iranian students to the US & the royal family is paying for this. HELLO!!!!!!!

Renee

Yes. I want to bring home the troops from Iraq and elsewhere. Give them some R and R. Then redeploy them to the border with housing, benefits and triple pay. And keep illegals out. We just can't afford them any more. They are draining resources meant for our lower and working classes. (yes we still have those)

Fade__Out

yes, its important to maintain the safety of the country on either side, and to know who is entering or leaving the country and why.
