Another good post, thanks Bruce. An interesting read. Y'know, that's all I was looking for, some information..... It'll take me a while to sift through it all and verify the claims made, but the expert testimony of a former border guard with 27 years experience certainly counts for more than the simplistic rantings of a rude and angry housewife from one of the whitest states.....

The essence of good debate is information. We take the information, verify it , and distill out the facts from the bias. From there, we move to informed opinion.Once we have an informed opinion, we can counter anything that we consider to be a misconception by presenting the facts.

I have no patience with people who consider that their opinion is the only one that matters and that everyone else,especially the foreigner, is an idiot. Bring me good facts and present them as information, rather than as proof that you have won, and you will retain my interest and respect.
The internet clowns who move the first pawn on the chessboard and then do an in-your-face-asshole victory dance are tedious.
