I'm not picking sides in this snazzy little argument you have going here mind you. I personally don't give to shits if some jackass wants to sit in the middle of the desert in a lawn chair with some binoculars looking for immigrants.
But I believe there are some things that are important to point out. For example, I don't believe the folks involved in either Trade Center bombing made their way into this country via a dusty, cactus strewn trail in the Arizona desert. So to this point, the "terrorists are sneaking across the border" argument is worthless. The fact is, to this point, the "terrorists" haven't had to go that route.
Therefore, without statistical evidence or neato websites to back up my "opinion", I believe the bulk of the people we're talking about here are primarily third world country immigrants coming to this country for work or your car stereo.
I know I'm rambling here but now that I think about it, the onlyl heavily documented account of terrorists attempting to enter the US via a border crossing to come blow shit up was via our neighbors to the north.
Personally, I believe that the argument about "securing our borders" as it pertains to foot traffic in the middle of the desert is a moot point not worth discussing. Maybe some horrible terrorist attack perpetrated by nomadic desert runners will prove me wrong, but I'm willing to take my chances.
