    If you wanted to make America more secure, disband ICE and TSA completely and replace them with nothing.

    Smaller, more secure government.

      I get the point of needing some kind of security at the airport, and having a national agency provide said security makes more sense to me than requiring each airport to wing it. provides some consistency. that being said, i have plenty of complaints about the current way it’s implemented.

          Incorrect; countries have always protected their borders in some capacity.

                The Native Americans weren’t prepared for an alien invasion from another planet, which is essentially what happened.

                If real aliens invaded Earth now, I think we’d be just as unprepared.

                Anyway, diseases probably killed far more Natives than guns or swords.

        What kind of “discussion” beyond “Don’t Go To Trumpist USA It’s Not Worth It, PS RIP Their Tourist Industry” do you want to meaningfully have?
