wkmac,
I don't know where you live but I have to believe based on your comments about irrational fear and hysteria that you have not lived near the Mexican border.
The closer to the border you live, the more unsecured borders affect you. I have had discussions with people who live in Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Wisconsin and New York. They don't get it either. You have to grow up in it and live it to better understand it. Just like I have no idea what it is like to be discriminated against because of the color of my skin.
If you listen to the news in AZ, all you hear is illegal drunk drivers causing fatal accidents, kidnappings as far north as Phoenix, murdered ranchers on our Southern border. This happens every single day on the local news stations.
I remember back in the 60's going to visit my relatives in Chicago and telling them I had a taste for a taco and my relatives had no idea what a taco was!
