WE can put 1,000,000 more agents on the border it doesnt matter anymore. We are the country that is loosing war against Afghanistan, lol, it is becoming a joke how weak our army is. Yes, we spent trillions on some immaginary Star Wars defense system, but we cannot get taliban out of the caves.

Your lack of comprehension of the actual situation and conditions of the conflict in Afghanistan is profound...very profound indeed. Oh as an aside the Star Wars program was a resounding success..it was never supposed to create any sort of defence system, it was supposed to bankrupt the USSR by forcing them to try to come up with their own version. It worked exactly as planned.

And it was Ronald Reagan who put the USSR out of business. You are right Arpig. The Ruskies just couldn't keep up, financially or technically. He was a President that the East was worried about.

i'm tired of that Ronald Reagan fairytale, it was Lech Walesa and the Solidarity movement who caused the U.S.S.R. to crumble.

Take the border money and fund drug treatment centers; that would solve most of our prison problems in one fell swoop.

Force all the corps that tookk their factories to Mexico to pay the exact same wage they were paying here or they pay a huge fine and tarriffs. Cut their NAFTA benefits if the factories don't meet OSHA and other standards required in this country. Not only will this cause some to stay home rather than crossing our border it will make the American worker competitive again.
I realize that prices on goods will rise but most prices didn't fall when the corps got access to ultra cheap labor. Only quality fell. Once they raised their prices, smaller start up companies would be able to set up shop within the borders and undercut them on pricing making the bigger corps pay for the disservice they have done both the American worker and those they pay NAFTA slave wages in foreign countries.
