Who think closing the borders will solve drug problems in America. It's just like saying banning guns will stop all the murders. Ignorance at it's finest.
I made a thread because I didn't feel this would be appropriate in the Utah LEO thread, but felt like it needed to be addressed after seeing some of the crazy replies it brought up. Get a fucking education, that shit is just ridiculous. |

Yes it wont stop drugs. But it will help stop the flow of non-tax paying illegals.

Most people who want to close the borders oppose uncontrolled immigration.
While I don't support outright closing the borders (and suspect few do), we must cut down illegal immigration. We can't fix it all at the border, but that is a part of the solution. |

Drugs and Human Smuggling are two separate issues. Yes, they are perpetrated by the same groups, but that's no different than the mob fixing casinos and running prostitution rings - sometimes they overlap.
There is a stretch of the Huachuca Mountains down here where it is virtually impossible to put a fence...the terrain is that bad. |

I seem to remember that when Kiki Camerana was killed the Reagan administration closed down the border and it caused the Mexicans to clean up their act real quick, if only for a little time.

Human beings are tribal and like to form groups and hate on other groups. Watching people from just about any country talk about the same crap has made me cynical about it. Close the boarder and people will just move on to another group they think they are besieged by. Knowing the media and public opinion most Americans would probably start thinking the Chinese are going to invade.

Closing the border only treats the symptom, not the root problem. Illegals would still come over. We simply don't have the manpower or the money to completely lock down the border, or even come close. There is a way we could dramatically reduce the number of illegal aliens (and US citizens) that are a drag on our economy. Eliminate welfare and free healthcare for anything more than life, limb, or eyesight.

There are far more important issues concerning illegal immigration (and the drug trade for that matter) than the ease of the border crossing. |

I know there aren't enough white and black (traditional Americans) to fill these roles. They don't exist. |
