OK first, let me stipulate the following...
I believe that allowing large numbers of illegals to cross the border from Mexico into the Untied States is fundamentally bad for our nation. I believe that it increases crime rates and exacerbates our already overwhelming gang problem. I also believe that illegals knock the poorest Americans off the bottom rung of the ladder to success, they are a drain on public services, and do not pay a significant portion of the taxes they owe (how many folks do you know who actually pay the Federally required payroll taxes on their Mexican gardener or nanny?).
But let's forget about all that for a moment. Let's assume that I'm dead wrong...
Can you think of another reason why it might be a good idea to build a substantial security fence along our southern border with Mexico?
Hmmm... let's think real hard...
How about this?
A brigadier General in the Mexican Army was lured away from the military to fight the drug war... and after only a week on the job, was kidnapped, tortured and murdered.
A Brigadier General!? That's comparable to someone kidnapping and mudering General Petraeus!
And if you don't think the bastards who committed this horrible crime regularly cross back and forth across our border in pursuit of the MILLIONS of dollars Americans are looking to spend on the drugs these guys make, then you aren't just crazy... you are suicidal.
UPDATE: To quote the Sundance Kid... "don't you get sick of being right all the time?"
