Although it always helps to consider protecting the borders of your own
nation first, like preventing illegals from flowing in like rainwater,
not all of whom are by any means Mexican, or even latin derived.

His ebullient answer to that, the highest priority threat that we had then
and still have not really diminished, was that, "family values do not end
at the border".  What an illogical, blithe, lamebrain!

You are two ends of the same {ebullient enthusiasm} spectrum and neither
of you can see the forest for the trees. ;-)

All that you ever really need do here is drop this slogan and run, to save
yourself considerable time.

This Republic's life is not in peril. The nation has sold its honor for a 
phrase. It has swung itself loose from its safe anchorage and is drifting, 
its helm in pirate hands. The stupid phrase needed help, and it got another 
one: "Even if the war be wrong, we are in it and must fight it out; we 
cannot retire from it without dishonor." Why, not even a burglar could have 
said it better. We cannot withdraw from this sordid raid because to grant 
peace to those little people upon their terms - independence -- would 
dishonor us.

Nothing much new under the sun, it seems, much like the cyclical nature of
ultimate politico stupidity and elitist, bipartisan profit wrangling.
