I know this is going to sound naïve, but wouldn't it make more sense to spend our money on protecting our ports (air and sea) and helping Mexico become a more economically stable country. It seems like most of the border patrols on our southern border is focused on keeping drugs and poor people out. We don't have those kind of issues with Canada, because they're a wealthier country.
Whenever I hear a politician on either side of the aisle say "protect our borders," I don't hear terrorism, I hear "keep the Mexicans out."
Maybe it's just me...
