- MichaelCollins 4y agoAnd the practicalities of a war would necessitate an effort to stop that, to prevent the spread of enemy combatants behind the front line. Even if you search everybody passing through the border for weapons.. ...it's America. They can get weapons here. The inevitable result is a massive human rights disaster, that makes the present status quo look like paradise.
