LET'S CLOSE THE BORDERS

Its time to close the borders. After the dastardly attacks on America it is
obvious America has a border problem. America has to improve security on
its borders.

To get this improved security America must make it easier to cross the border.

Well isn't that just the stupidest thing you ever heard?

Let me explain myself.

With the current closed borders you have people smugglers working day and
night trying to get their human cargo across. If we allowed freer entry any
one crossing between border stations then stands out like a sore thumb
instead of being just another face in the crowd. In addition there is
another group of smugglers trying to get material goods, drugs, into the
United States. These people too are probing the border day and night
looking for weakness.

So we have smugglers continuously probing our material and human defences
along the border.

By making it easier for people to come in we at least have a record of
entry. When the smugglers bring them in there is no record. The same is
true about illegal drugs. If it weren't for all the resources wasted on
this folly we might stand a better chance of finding things our enemies
send against us.

This is a war. A war on two fronts is more difficult to fight than a war on
one front. Drugs are a self financing enemy, terrorism is not. In fact drug
profits support terrorism. The answer to these problems is more freedom not
less. Let us give up the unwinnable war that doesn't matter and fight the
winnable war that does.

To help win the real war its time to get the non-violent drug prisoners out
of jail and back to work.

Whenever you meet a prohibitionist politician ask him or her the following
question:

Do you support drug prohibition because it finances criminals at home or
because it finances terrorists abroad?

Good news: E.J. has a job. We have restored a little of his freedom. Thanks
to everyone that helped. You can still help by asking the governor to
commute his sentence at:
