I believe there are some more important borders in this world. at least to us Americans. and they are the borders around our own country. It is more important that we secure our borders at home than it is to secure the borders in Iraq. Last year. both the Senate and the House of Representatives passed an immigration bill. I voted no on the Senate immigration bill. I opposed the bill because I did not believe it did enough to secure our borders. It had some good proposals for border security. and it had a number of other excellent proposals. but it did not guarantee they would be funded. We all know that border security on paper means nothing. It requires boots on the ground. It requires jeeps on the roads and unmanned aerial vehicles in the air.
