Thread: Afghanistan safer than American border

But we can use the list, with the city in question, to illustrate we have a danger problem on the border (more so than the dangers in Afghanistan in this case and in argument use) thus we need to do something more so than we do now to protect ourselves. If the 2nd most dangerous place in the world is a stone's throw away from the US it makes a pretty strong argument that we need to protect the border at all costs to prevent that type of danger from coming into the US. Which clearly is now anyway.

The OP is right in the assessment of using Juarez to suggest more border security is needed, and not because of your suggestion on us being able to do a damn thing about what happens inside of Juarez. Man, use your head here. This is reasonable assessment of the situation on the border and evidence we need to do more to protect ourselves.

By this logic the Canadians should have mobilized in Windsor by now.

It's a nice bit of fear mongering (I know, I know, that's seemingly all the conservative movement has these days), but the drug wars in Mexico are a Mexican problem. Yes, we contribute to the problem, hugely, but that's another thread.

I think many on the Left do drugs to take their mind off of the scary Conservatives. Always looking over our shoulder, worried that we may be the next on their hit list next. Now, the Cons drink booze in excess to celebrate sticking it to working folks again, and again, and again...which is why they are such alcoholics. They been drinking too much in the last few decades due to the incessant celebrations of putting us in our rightful place, under the table. I hear their new motto is, " Fuck a working man for America". It's the patriotic thing to do.
