Do we really need airline security?

Why is our country spending millions on air security and also invading air travelers' privacy with xray-type machines? Why not just let anyone fly in over our borders? We could save a lot of money. And why are we enforcing the Canadian border with enthusiasm? If we pull the border guards from there, we could save additional millions.

If we allow people to flow over the Mexican border unchecked, what's the point of enforcing our other borders? Are terrorists coming over the southern border less dangerous? Could it be that if Islamic extremists filter through Mexico, we can automatically assume the Mexicans' loving and peaceful attitude toward us will render terrorists peaceful, loving immigants, too?

And what's the deal with accusations of racism against Mexicans? Seems to me the Mexicans have been coming in ILLEGALLY with little enforcement of the laws (getting a free ride) while all other borders are tightening. Doesn't this make a case for racism against Canadians and fly-ins? Do we catch and release other illegals, even when they are obviously law breakers above and beyond the original sin of entering illegally? Nope. Only Mexicans get that break. Seems to me Mexicans are victims of favoritism, not racism.

OofDah! Let's be fair and unbiased. Let's tighten the southern border to compare with the northern and fly-in borders. And while we're at it, let's treat Mexican law-breakers like we do other illegals - with no favoritism for brown skin and Latino accents.

Are the people of Arizona sacrificial lambs for the rest of the country? Should they just roll over and let the Mexican drug war encroach on their state? Should they look the other way when thousands of people, including criminals, drug dealers, and terrorists overrun their state? Should they calmly accept murders, crime, and drugs addiction as their lot in life?

Hmm, you don't think they should defend themselves from this invasion?

Be ready to defend yourself ---

I suggestion they build a nice superhighway with no turnoffs heading straight to your state. If you don't think the invasion is a problem for Arizona, then you should welcome the drugs, guns, and terrorists in your backyard. And even without the superhighway, you will be feeling the results of the open border. Already the drug cartels claim to have distribution centers in every contiguous state. And already the tax situation is exacerbated by the costs of illegals in this country. And if international terrorists are not coming over the border already, they soon will. They are not stupid and can certainly figure out that an uncontrolled border is a gateway to your state.

Common sense should dictate that US citizens have the right to defend themselves and their children from uncontrolled borders. If the feds don't want to do it, the states MUST.

Let's defend our borders, before a terrorist attack comes across it along with the thousands of people we cannot afford to feed, clothe, and shelter. Let's use some common sense!
