re: #123 albusteve
this border thing is getting blown out of proportion by both left and right
It is and it isn’t. Immigration isn’t a problem, in my opinion. The problem is that control of all the illegal activities on the border has been taken by Mexican cartels. Within the last half hour I just heard a third-hand report of someone seeing Mexicans who had been lynched, hanging from trees near the border. Last week I heard about two hikers from Tucson who called 911 for help, and were dead before help arrived. The week before that I heard about a major fire that was set by “UBCs” (undocumented border crossers). None of this stuff makes it into the news, except the fire, if you know where to look.
I certainly don’t want to vote for people like Pamela Gorman to solve the problems. I want to take the business of immigration away from the cartels, by blanket amnesty and free immigration if necessary, just like I want to take the drug business away from the cartels by legalizing marajuana.
