Excuse

Call up the Guard, seal off the borders, put up a fence. Good answer. As long as you have one fence, add others to form pens, holding tanks. People the pens and tanks. May as well put families to work in the fields while they await return. Build stouter chambers for Suspected Terrorists. Rendition extraordinarily the baddest of the bad guys. You, in the back... The answer is eminent domain. The creation of a demilitarized zone. The Battleground Annexation Act of 2006. Yes, it was a rider in the defense budget. Yes, it received nearly unanimous approval. Remarkable inroads made by the prison industry. Major arms manufacturers drawn to the border area. The Rio Grande Military Canal and Irrigation Act of 2007. Mexico's Mandatory Workforce Act of 2008. It's all in the public record. Our entry points were vulnerable. We were in a constant state of war. The economy was in the tank. Cheap labor was needed. We had to do what we did.
