		<description>Oh my - Lump dragged his corn cart over here, too!!!

No one&#039;s buying, Lump - canned corn that hasn&#039;t passed through anyone else&#039;s bowels is still widely available at low prices, so we&#039;re going to stick to that - you can have all of the poopcorn for yourself.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The report details a massive failure in government procurement revealing little accountability for the billions of dollars spent purchasing military hardware for the Iraqi security forces. For example, according to the report, the military could not account for 12,712 out of 13,508 weapons, including pistols, assault rifles, rocket propelled grenade launchers and machine guns.&lt;/i&gt;

And the Reagan legacy comes full circle.  We are again arming our enemies - but this time through Bush-league incompetance.</description>

		<description>Better education for our kids should be a priority as well .  Bill Cosby said for Black parents to get involved well that stands for white parents as well.  That is right up there with healthcare and getting our Nation back on track financiallly and Internationally.

Anyone talking with kids from 8-12 will be shocked at what is NOT being taught doesn&#039;t matter what economic neighborhood you live in.  Check out the food in the cafeteria, we had healthier food 40 years ago than the fat laden garbage being served now.</description>

		<description>Mexico is  not a poor country they have vast mineral and petroleum deposits however, every leader just uses the money for their own means and cheats the population.   But, with the education the children are getting here maybe they will go home one day and take back their country.  Either way education for legal or illegals can only benefit America.</description>

		<description>TB - We have never had the amount of illegals coming through as the last few years.  Growing up on a farm in Iowa migrant workers always were there during crop times and no problems.  NO ONE has a problem with those just wanting to work.  But others that are coming over like the MS13 gangs, the drug runners are coming as well.  If other countries can control their borders we can at least try.</description>

		<description>106    I do have ideas -  Faster process of guest worker visas, with picture ids and documentation of country of origin.  Enter into data bank.  Minimal cost to immigrant.  Patrol the Borders with Cameras and more Agents. If the entry process were faster more decent imigrants just wanting work would use that instead.  The reason so many are walking in is because our system is so lengthy.

All others still crossing illegally should be deported upon catching.</description>

		<description>I think &quot;a secure border&quot; is something we will never actually have - it&#039;s like saying there will be &quot;a vibrant democracy in Iraq a year from now.

I believe lots of money would get spent, and lots of press releases released, and after ten years and 100 billion dollars, Tyson foods would still have a 60 or 70% illegal workforce making McNuggets.

The kind of economics we practice precludes the idea of a &quot;secure border&quot;

I&#039;d be happy if I knew we were searching and scrutinizing all incoming freight at our ports, and they won&#039;t even do that - why? - $$$, and that&#039;s all - Billionaires don&#039;t care whether Long Beach gets blown up, they care about buying vacation homes in Tuscany.

We&#039;ve always had a lot of illegal immigration from Mexico, and only recently has it become a big national headlines issue - why??

-because it&#039;s a big, fat red herring, and a great smokescreen to cover for all the real important crimes the GOP is getting away with.</description>

		<description>Secure the borders. Stop illegal occupation of our country.

Comment by O. Bigfoot â€” December 6, 2007 @ 12:11 pm

I hear the &quot;secure the borders!&quot; rallying cry often, but I seldom hear any suggestions on how to do it.  People determined to cross the border have managed to scale fences (high ones, too -- with barbed wire, even), tunnel underneath, bribe border guards -- whatever it takes.

Therefore, I&#039;m sure any suggestions would be appreciated.  How would you secure our borders?</description>

People determined to cross the border have managed to scale fences (high ones, too &#8212; with barbed wire, even), tunnel underneath, bribe border guards &#8212; whatever it takes.</p>
<p>Therefore, I&#8217;m sure any suggestions would be appreciated.  How would you secure our borders?<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4179871', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Once the Havemores have completed their destruction of the middle and working classes, we won&#039;t have to worry about immigration - Mexican jobs will pay better than ours, as will those in Canada.

Get used to being Canada&#039;s Mexico, folks - that&#039;s what the billionaires have planned for you. Let&#039;s just hope Canada doesn&#039;t build a fence and stock it with armed guards to keep US out of their country - it may be the only decent option in a few years.</description>

		<description>Well this idea if you critize America you should leave just is stupid.  Lets realize we have problems and solve them instead burying our heads in the sand and saying we are the best.  Nations and people can always learn and become better.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Hey, if another country has a better idea, lets use it.

I read somewhere that the Dutch visited New Orleans after their 1953(?) flood to see the pumps that were designed by the city engineer, Baldwin Wood. The Dutch weren&#039;t too proud to benefit from our success, and now they have 50 years of success that we shouldn&#039;t be too proud to benefit from.</description>
