What a waste of our money and effort. I’m speaking of all of the law enforcement entities that purport to protect us from the evildoers of the world who may or may not cross at our border checkpoints. It is a waste of time.

Thousands of people enter the United States illegally and undetected every single week. They’ve always crossed our borders, they always will, and there is no way to stop them.

I do understand how we all want to feel comforted and protected. I sympathize with those who have lost their loved ones from acts of violence. Given the fact that a rendered heart often prevails in troubled times, I would encourage the American people to think about the better solution to the problem – to minimize acts of violence by organized terrorists.

What would happen to you if you did what our national government is doing all over the world. Do you think your neighbor would take kindly to your sticking a finger in his eye?

Well, that is what our imperialistic government is doing. It’s no wonder that many of the people in poverty-stricken nations hate America.

If it’s security and comfort that you are looking for, you best be looking for something besides law enforcement and electronic surveillance gadgetry at our borders.

You also might want to pass this message on to our puppet Republican president and his incredibly arrogant accomplice, the Israeli prime minister. They both need a lesson in diplomacy.
