Here’s an idea: If you don’t believe that the United States has border security, you could plan a trip with your daughter to the border and see what the ~64,000 federal employees are actually doing on a day-to-day basis (see below).
One of the benefits of the trip is that you will cease to be ignorant on the subject and stop making a fool out of yourself in front of literally billions of Internet users.
- 63,843 men and women
- 25,836 CBP officers
- 2,668 CBP Agriculture Specialists
- 19,357 Border Patrol agents
- 569 Air interdiction agents (pilots)
- 364 Marine interdiction agents
- 363 Aviation enforcement agents
- 1,104 Trade personnel

Where Tax Money Should Go
At left is a question typical of a Republican moron. Might someone say, “No, taxes don’t need to be spent on things that serve our interests?”
The question, of course, is what actually does serve our interests.
Believe it or not, there are people in countries on this planet who think that tax money serves their interest if it goes to creating a healthier, happier, better educated, more humane society.
These are the same countries that tax rich people heavily, where attaining a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars is extremely difficult–probably impossible. But those nations don’t have homeless veterans living in the street and presidents who are rapists and convicted felons.

Do We Need More Fallacious Hate Speech?
Unfortunately, there are tens of millions of morons who believe hateful garage like this.
The average 10-year-old can understand that we can BOTH protect our citizens while obeying the U.S. Constitution and international law when it comes to treating the undocumented legally and humanely.
Again, this is what is called the logical fallacy of the “false dichotomy.” Only idiots believe we have to choose one over the other.

A Reader Asks: Should Energy Companies be Held Liable for Climate Change?
I would say that the regulations on energy (and transportation) companies should be sufficient to put pressure on them to phase out fossil fuels and decarbonize in favor of renewables and nuclear.
