See, that's the attitude that disturbs me. We've already given a little, and a little more, and a little more. We've compromised all sorts of individual liberties away, and just because we're still the freest country in the world, the average person thinks it's OK to just give a little more.
That's why I think the Franklin quote it quite appropriate. It's fine to protect our border, as long as they know their place and don't take other actions "for our safety." Remember, safety is a tyrant's tool, because who can be against safety?
I agree with darthmord, as long as the scope is limited to border protection, and as long as such protection is limited to the border.If they slip past the imaginary line, they're local law enforcement's (or immigration's) problem now.
