Iraq To Close Borders

Even a violent, fledgling democracy realizes the importance of closing securing the borders.

Anyone in DC watching this? Protesting it?

2 Now why would Iraq need to close its borders with Syria and Iran?  I thought that they had an interest in reducing the violence in Iraq.  Perhaps someone can call James Baker - or better yet Robert Gates (another ISG'er) - for an explanation.

3 We are the most powerful country on Earth apparently and we can't secure our borders - it is not possible. Anyone telling you differently probably wants to sell you more prisons too (psst, those don't work too well either but they sure cost a lot of tax money and kickbacks just like giant security borders). Borders are ineffectual against determined individuals, they couldn't keep in the East Germans or Russians who defected - check the history of any wall (or security border) ever built and you will witness an expensive exercise in futility.

4 Weebone:


America used to protect its national integrity quite effectively. Wetbacks were routinely rounded up and thrown out. There were not millions of illegals entering the country every year in the 70s, or even the 80s--which is when the mass amnesties and enticement programs began in earnest.


In the 30s, 40s and 50s, the LAPD used to take them out to the Arizona desert and dump them far from the Mexican or California border--with a promise of ass kickings if they snuck back.


The authorities have the means to round up virtually every wetback in the country, they just don't have the will or the government mandate.


The border jumpers coming to Iraq are just there to do the jobs that ordinary Iraqis wont do, like head chopping, suicide bombing, torturing civilians, etc. We should encourage them to come help the Iraqi economy.
