Another Border Agent killed

[Teufelhund]

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.

I'm fine with that. I don't think that's what most folks mean when they say, "seal the border" though. Usually it's more along the lines of, "put up a big wall and shoot on sight."
