Why do Republicans complain about our insecure borders when their foreign policy...

[MaidMesmera]

...contributes to it? Don't get me wrong. I understand that both parties are responsible for our insecure borders and our problem with illegal immigration. But, I find the Republicans to be particularly hypocritical about it. They're the ones who complain the most about these problems, yet they fail to realize that they contribute to this problem by spending trillions of dollars maintaining military bases in foreign countries and waging unnecessary wars in the Middle East, when that money could be spent on border patrol agents right here at home. How can you expend your military resources securing the borders of foreign countries and then complain about your OWN border being insecure? How is that consistent? What we need to do to solve this problem is to end these wars, pull our troops out of foreign countries, stop interfering in other countries' affairs, and instead spend that money on border patrol and whatever else is necessary to secure OUR border.
Kissilwood: I'm against the DREAM Act. I think a better way to deal with illegals is to stop giving them benefits because if we can't round them up and deport them all at once, they'll leave on their own if we stop giving them incentives to stay here.
Nightwind: Are you implying that I'm a liberal? Because I'm not. I'm a non-interventionist Conservative. And I totally agree with you on the Liberals' war on poverty, etc.,

Maybe our border wouldn't be so insecure if people didn't make fun of them all the time.

We can do both, running from foreigner problems only prolongs and strengthens the opposition

You seem to have lost sight of exactly WHO is currently setting foreign policy, assuming for a moment you were ever intelligent enough to know in the first place.

PS: I haven't gotten you wrong at all. You are a Liberal, trying to pass yourself off as a political neutral. The only one fooled by your act, seems to be you.

I knew our borders were unsecured, but I had no idea they head self esteem issues as well.
Perhaps they could use a pep talk to help with their insecurity. Obama is just the man for the job.
