Obama says that closing the border now that the swine flu has already migrated across it, would be akin "to closing the barn door after the horses got out." The man is an unmitigated genius. Whereas ALL the horse have left the barn, ALL the carriers of swine flu have not yet left Mexico. By all means, lets allow them access to America with no concerns about limiting the spread of the infection as best possible. If someone gets infected in Laredo,Texas by a carrier who arrived that day, that's okay because the infection was already here.If border control is not the function of a border, why have a border? Oh, that's right, that's the position of the left. To them the border is a symbol of racism (what isn't?). Terrorism? They can come in so many other ways, the border does nothing. Smuggling? It wouldn't be smuggling if there was no border. Weapons? We are smuggling American made weapons to Mexico and that is what is causing all the deaths. Illegal immigrants? They are just coming here to do honest labor and support their families. DHS Chief Napolitano says that it isn't a crime anyway.
Growing American Unemployment? Americans won't do those jobs. Meanwhile, Americans are doing them here in Indiana, and happy to have a job at all. The assault on America continues. It is being won by the enemy within without a shot being fired.
Z: I asked Mike if I could use his real name.... He wrote me this back: Michael G. Miller is just fine. That way Obama's "Civilian Security Force" will be able to locate me easier. (Z: Come on, Mike, don't be silly; they haven't even found any illegals yet!!)

I don't see the point of closing it either, it's not as if anyone crosses it legally.
Well done Michael G. Miller! I have heard more totally asinine arguments in the last few months than I think I ever heard during the reign of Wilhelm the Zipper.

All good points, but closing the border would only keep out the people who follow the rules and come in legally.
If closing the border will only "keep out the people who follow the rules..." then we have given into the ones who won't follow the rules. Kind of like "the kids are going to do drugs and have sex anyway so I prefer they do it right here in our own home. In fact, I am going to provide them with alcohol and contraceptives so they don't get into even more trouble." Unfortunately, these are appeasement and enabling policies. I firmly believe that it is imperative that the rule of law be established and that illegally crossing a national border, or breaking any legitimate law, can and will have serious consequences. And it should be similar in a home that says no to drugs and pre-marital sex. As everyone on this site is well aware, border security goes far, far beyond illegal immigrants looking for legitimate work. Unfettered importation of disease, terrorists, WMD's (biological, chemical or nuclear), foreign agents, criminals, fugitives, etc. must be countered at all costs. Without an enforceable border, we have no definable country.

Mike is right.
If you tell a child not to do something and he does it anyway, do you throw up your hands and say, "oh gee, I guess you're determined not to mind me, so go ahead"? I hope not!
This is no different. Are we such a weak knee'd, lily livered people that nothing that is difficult get's done?
My God, how did we ever get to the moon!
Of course the border can be closed, and of course if it were patrolled properly (preferably with armed guards and loaded weapons) and the consequences for the lawless were stiff enough, it would be a done deal.
But folks, the politicians need votes and business want's cheap labor. It's as simple as that. We now have our rising number of unemployed competing with illgals for jobs. Any kind of jobs.
We have TB on the rise, even small pox, and yes the swine flu. We have Mexican drug cartels recruiting here, terrorists coming in, and still what we get is lip service, and the people throwing up their hands and saying, "gee, I guess they're going to do it anyway".
This is not the country our parents handed to us on a silver platter. Nosirree!

The border is just another opportunity for the left to destroy the America that Obama is so anxious to apologize for. It isn't, in my opinion, really about their false claims of racism or any other 'ism" for that matter(except maybe "Americanism", but it is about fundamental "change" at the expense of the traditional American values that produced America in the first place. Their "new world order" has no room for a power greater than the state, American exceptionalism, individualism or capitalism. And as the recent House vote on "hate crimes" legislation proves, it is about eliminating Christianity, our Judeo-Christian ethic, all vestiges of a moral value system to be replaced with a nihilistic celebration of sin. All of which is to be redefined as something liberating and "good." And as we know "evil shall be called good and good shall be called called evil."

Right on Michael (if that is you're real name. Sounds fake to me) Twisted liberal rhetorical flourish. The horse has left the barn and left a steamy pile of Obamanure.
Well said Michael G. Miller!
They aren't looking for illegals. Illegals "aren't the problem" it is us right-wing extremists that are causing all the hate and problems in our society...you know, standing up and fighting for freedom, the Constitution...and all that.
I agree totally about your thoughts about the borders (I often use the same example you did about the teens when I discuss this with others!)
Just met a lovely girl from Mexico-we discussed the flu - she can't wait to get her mother here because---
"In Mexico-you have to be wealthy to get care--they ask if you can pay--Here- in this country-you don't have to pay."
Well-there you have it-you all in the US -'us is payin'...
C-CS
DaBlade..that's his whole real name, trust me! :-)
Christian Soldier..I'm hoping her mom stays home long about now! heh
Mexico's now saying the level is 'evening out'.. not rising. Let's hope that stays the same here.
we could zap all of them like my mom does ants i n the kitchen with a fly swater. theyre dirty anyway.
hello z, i will say hi now, but come to my blogg too.
Obamanure! That is beautiful The man (BHO) suffers from an advanced case of "conitis. (CON-it-us)" This condition is characterized by a morbidly inflamed ego which causes deceit to be spewed with every word uttered in public, or in private for that matter. Mostly seen among politicians, this condition has no known cure except in those rare instances where a former politician's heart has been opened by the Holy Spirit to faith in Christ. See Chuck Colson.
Oops! That last comment was mine.

"Smuggling? It wouldn't be smuggling if there was no border." Isn't this a good way of summing up modern liberalism, Z? "There wouldn't be any bigotry toward the concept of gay marriage, if we tamp down and besmirch Judeo-Christian constraints against gay marriage"... "there wouldn't be any objections to late term abortion, if we shut down the notion that it's a baby"... and etc. Wherever there are rules, laws, and order-- i.e. "borders"-- there are liberals lining up to destroy those rules and borders.
Zack, EXCELLENT point. That's exactly right.
Good piece, isn't it. Mike's a good thinker.
Speaking of Obama's Civilian Security Force I'm starting to wonder if they've come knocking at the door of FPM, since they've imposed some new type of commentary restriction.
Maybe I'm Paranoid but things seemed to change yesterday after they published "Dumb Enchanted Evening". It included a few links and none more stunning than this one:

I posted a comment with a link to this from the article. I'm expecting a knock at the door in the middle of the night asking what the hell I was thinking. I'm thinking a better question would be what the hell was America thinking when they elected this guy?
Waylon
Waylon, America wasn't THINKING when they elected this guy, they were FEELING.
Now most of them are FEELING like they made a huge mistake. But, we're stuck.
FPM...I have to go check that out..will alert Pris to it, too. WASSUP!? I'm SO glad you came by.
As ZackR and Z were discussing, the far left is the ultimate nihilist. To them, Biblical truth, Judeo- Christian morality and the reality of right and wrong must be destroyed for their immoral, perverse and sin embracing lifestyles to be made legitimate- the living proof of the pernicious and malignant effects of political correctness and the whole concept of moral relativity.
