Patrolling the Borders
One of Bill O'Reilly's crusading topics of discussion is the issue of protecting our national borders, especially our southern border with Mexico.
His stance has consistently been to put the National Guard on the borders to reinforce the Border Patrol.
While I agree with this approach to a large extent, I think another option would be to militarize the Border Patrol itself. In other words, put the Border Patrol underneath the Department of Defense, add a wing to the Pentagon and have Border Patrol representation inside the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The BP would go through boot camp, as well as intense military training and survival methods. There would also be an elite corps inside the BP who would do specialty tasks that involve precision and a high degree of covertness.
This whole issue of border protection has been turned into a racial one. Nothing could be further from the truth. I'd like to ask these dunderheads who oppose higher protection of our borders if they would let just anyone into their HOMES without going through proper protocol. Would they care if just anyone who wants to, walk into their CHILDREN'S SCHOOL without signing in and getting authorization, possibly endangering their child.
Are the walls of their homes just as open to unauthorized entry as our borders are? If not, then they and their arguments are hypocritical.
Border protection is of the same mindset as the alarm on your car, the locks on your door, and the security of our children's schools.
There are boundaries around our country, our states, our homes, and our vehicles for a reason! Security!!! And each of these boundaries have certain types and degrees of protocol to cross them. Or face certain consequences. If an unauthorized person breaks into your car, it is a crime, punishable by the law.
I'd like to ask these same pinheads whether they would mind if boys could walk into the girl's bathrooms while THEIR little girl or their wife is inside. No? Well why NOT!!! That's gender descrimination! Do you see the senselessness of their argument?
Security is not a racism issue just as much as the previous example is not a discrimination issue. Security is a life or death issue.
