Okay, I'll answer that question:Kevinf2349 wrote:I have just been watching a TV show about Derby Line VT. They are putting gates up across the border with Canada in a town where previously townsfolk could come and go at will.
How come nobody is up in arms at that border being tightened but they get all bent out of shape at tightening the Southern Border. Surely it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that VT is a whole lot closer to Washington and New York....right?
The people at issue on the southern border are viewed as potential votes for whichever party gives them the most as they are coming here to stay and reproduce. Our sometimes friends to the north are not as likely to stay and become voters.
It's all about relections.
to Gov. Jan Berry for having the chutzpah to do what other lessor and more self-centered officials fear to do.
