Operation Gatekeeper is “credited” with causing over 400 deaths. Some dumb Christians might consider that a drawback, as I do. I admire an organization, even the ACLU, that acts to prevent needless death. The punishment for illegal border crossing should not be death any more than it is the punishment for burglary or perjury.

The ACLU has a better idea of basic American values than MM in this case. Don’t kill people for minor crimes.

Aside from the undeniable communist/socialist/pacifist origins of this ignoble group, let us parse your statements:

1) “Operation Gatekeeper is “credited” with causing over 400 deaths. Some dumb Christians might consider that a drawback, as I do.” If one chooses to invade a country, is that country responsible for what happens to the invader? Do you ever {dare) call Muslims, and in particular, Islamofascists, “dumb?”

2) “I admire an organization, even the ACLU, that acts to prevent needless death.” You mean that the ACLU has come out against needless, elective abortions of convenience? If so, I stand corrected.

3) “The punishment for illegal border crossing should not be death any more than it is the punishment for burglary or perjury.” You might explain that to Mexico, who simultaneously enforces their southern border with an iron fist, but slips on the velvet glove when gently pushing its citizens over their northern border.

4) “The ACLU has a better idea of basic American values than MM in this case. Don’t kill people for minor crimes. Yeah, I remember the strong stand they took on the Kelo case (howls of derisive laughter). Really supported that basic right of a U.S. citizen to own his/her own property without unwarranted seizure by the government.

Basic American values include safe, secure borders and and expectation that this is a country of laws and said laws serve a purpose, as do borders.

What “American values” are you insinuating: compassion for our neighbors to the south? Okay, when we absorb all of them, should we feel compassion for the poor of China? India? Africa? (insert country here)?

Does it ever stop? Does even the omniscient lgm think that there is a point when we become what they are trying to leave behind?

Oh yeah, I guess I am the selfish one. I’ll remember that then next time I hear a story of how little (if anything) Obama, Gore, Kerry etc., gave to charity compared to me (on a percentage basis, of course).

Unfortunately this will continue until our next 9/11…

Touché pal.

..and beyond. On September 11, I actually believed that the silver lining was that we would finally unite as a country, because we had a common enemy. I had NO IDEA how loony the left is. It has been a sad education for me.

The agreement was developed in reaction to the continually mounting death toll of now more than 5,000 migrants along the border

Well boo-freakin’-hoo! Here’s a really “novel” solution: maybe they should try staying on their own side of the border. What a concept! Here’s the angle/tagline: “Border enforcement saves lives”.

‘Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.’

…where migrants face much harsher conditions in remote, environmentally hostile areas.

Sorry, Pedro. I don’t know how to say it in Spanish, but “Mother Nature eeeeesss a beeeeeetch!”

The pope already has that one covered.

um, i thought it was during the day, and regardless, IT FAILED …

“JSM would go along with a democratic congress, and a republican congress would feel obligated to go along with amnesty juan”

pls. back up EITHER wild assertion with anything resembling a fact …

Maybe his past actions like trying to sneak the amnesty bill through in the dead of night….calling us “bigots” “racists” and telling us to “shut-up”…makes me think he would gladly go along with amnesty no matter what party controlled congress.
