In times where there was no significant direct threat of terrorism to our citizenry we had two main concerns about our porous borders. The first was that our economy might be negatively impacted by the loose controls. The other concern was that our cultural balance could become to disoriented. Neither of these concerns were considered significant enough to do any thing other than encourage our neighbors to be responsible on their ends.

Last I heard we are still at war (sort of) with the Al-Quaida terrorist network and their associates. How is it that we are having a discussion about the US appearing "Bossy" in the current context. I understood our strategy to be attack terrorist with the goal of killing them and destroying the network and make a concerted effort to do everything possible to improve national security. Attack, kill, anialate but don't use BOSSY language? hmmmmmm, interesting world I live in.
