I have repeated this question hundreds of times, mainly when talking of Iraq and how important it was to be there for our freedom.

If we are indeed at war versus an enemy who would be more prone to attack our mainland with a suitcase bomb instead of an ICBM, then why our the borders open? The usual answer to this is silence or facial expressions as if you were talking to your cat or dog.

But I know the answer now. So we can provide mortgages for illegals.

God bless the United States of Mexanada.
