To Those Who Advocate an Open Border Policy With Mexico, Simply This

The native populations of America were treated unconscionably. I don't think that that's the issue here. All I'm saying is that we're living in the present tense and that a lot of factors have to be taken into account - one of which is that 20th century countries must have the capacity to defend the integrity of their borders........................................................................Bottom-line, folks, all wars have displaced populations; Greece and Turkey after WW1, Finland and Russia after WW2. An infinite regress of grievances that fixates upon them (while, yes, it may in fact make us feel better) only gets us nowhere and nobody, NOBODY, takes them seriously. Obama seems like he (a la Bush) wants to institute a "comprehensive" (yes, the devil will clearly be in the details) approach and, yes, I think that that's probably the most plausible way forward.
