Another reason to make our southern border a DMZ...

Are you 100% Native American?

I can't comprehend this attitude of, "now that I'm here, don't let anyone else in." We need serious immigration reform in this country, but sealing the borders is not it. There should be multiple, relatively simple paths to citizenship for non-violent criminals; just like our ancestors had when they came here (sans the vetting process).

Agreed. And the quota system needs to go away as well.

I think when most people say "seal the border" they're speaking of the physical border in between actual legal crossing areas.

I haven't met anyone who says they want to seal off the entire border. Of course, I don't associate with those kinds of people either.

I see. So just keep the Mexicans out.

Well THAT's putting words in my mouth.

NO, not "just keep the mexicans out".

Just prevent crossings other than at checkpoints, require passports so you know who is coming and going and how long they're staying, just the same as any other port of entry. Like international airports for instance.

Uhhh, newsflash, but there are "multiple, relatively simple paths to citizenship for non-violent criminals". I know, because I'm an immigrant. They're called visas, and there's lots of them in place already.

I came here 100% legally - followed all the steps to process, did the interviews, paid my dues, and followed the damned rules to gain the privilege to live here, unlike these river-swimming criminals that bring their entire families over to live off the government tit. Guess who pays for them? The fine, law-abiding citizens & residents of this country.

As a legal immigrant to this fantastic country, nothing pisses me off more than those who choose to circumvent the laws which are already in place for immigration control. I did it legally, why the hell can't they?

Am I for "sealing the borders"? Abso-f*cking-lutely.

Easy, fella. I don't support illegal immigration either. It is admirable that you went through the proper channels to earn your citizenship. My mother in law did the same thing, immigrating here from Austria. How long did it take you, what was the cost, and how difficult was it?
