Yeah, okay, Pete. As if that's the only way "something nasty" can get into the country? I think were all old enough and smart enough to know that "national security" is only partly why so many people are freaking out over the southern border.

Do you see the same fever pitch to keep people from getting in through the northern border? Are we building any walls between the U.S. and Canada? Are we laying out mines along the coasts to keep Italians, Russians and Belgians out?

It's economic, primarily. And yes, race is also a factor. You know it is.

The point of the article is that it is no longer the problem it was a few years ago. But that politicians, mostly Republicans are still going around fearmongering the issue in a desperate attempt to get votes. That and to keep the current administration from having any bragging points.

If you really want to get down to the nitty gritty of the national security aspect----Why all of the exitement over Mexicans getting in, when Arabs are immigrating by the plane load? Any Mexicans highjacking planes on 9/11/01?
