Dude, if we don´t close the border to everyone illegal there will soon be no freedom. What are you smoking?

Say that again Joe? The stuff that comes out of politicians mouths these days is simply jaw dropping. These are the people that continue to lead the country to it´s doom. The founding fathers, the ones who pledged their lives and fortunes to a free country must be rolling in their graves for a country that was once so great to have evolved into one that mimics the movie "Idiocracy"

Joe have you been having lunch with biden?

And we don´t want to lose our freedom by not protecting our border. There is a balancing act. And for a long time the balance has not been on the protecting our border side.

New World Order gibberish.
Lieberman is part of the problem.

Lieberman - the unconscious of the senate.

Thank goodness this old goat is leaving. Bad news is he`s being replaced by another idiot.

I would need to see proof that Congress is actually doing something to protect our borders. Until then Senator, this is just a pile of meadow muffins.

So, the Constitution IS a suicide pact after all!

Common sense will tell you that international borders must be secure enough to keep masses of generally uneducated and unskilled foreigners from simply walking into the USA without complying with immigration and customs laws of the country they are sneaking into.

A secure borderline alone will not stop mass uncontrolled illegal immigration. Today probably more then half of the illegal alien population initially came into the USA through an official port of entry by showing either a temporary visa of some sort or a border crossing card.

Those documents allowed those aliens to come here for a temporary period of time, after which they where supposed to leave.

But intending illegal aliens allowed into the country temporary in that manner do not leave, instead they go to some interior city, stay as illegal aliens, blend into the general population, enroll their alien children in US public schools, obtain some sort of fraudulent or otherwise bogus ID and take an American job to which they are not entitled.

The number of aliens doing that is limited only by the number of temporary visas or border crossing cards issued by the US Government under a very liberal criteria.

Once in the interior of the USA, unless the illegal aliens are convicted of some very serious violent felony crime, under current Obama Administration administrative policy that is contrary to the intent of the law, those illegal aliens are considered low priority and are not pursued for arrest and deportation. Intending illegal aliens know that, and you could not ask for better encouragement for them to come into the USA. It will remain that way as long as the liberal Democrats consider just about all illegal aliens to be potential Democrat voters.

Talking out of both sides of his mouth.

No surprise there.

I guess we´d rather lose our lives, huh Joe?

No thanks. I´ll wait in line for the pat down.

This guy has no character at all.

I guess Common Sense isn´t common after all.

FTA: chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee

I wonder if he locks his door at home or has a fenced yard.
