Yes Sol, "helping educate the world" is a completely LIBERAL concept! Just like, "helping feed the world" is a LIBERAL concept. Conservatives are NOT the "opposite" of Liberals, they merely have a different set of priorities. They don't "want the world to be ignorant", they just don't feel compelled or obligated to teach them. This has nothing to do with border policy or politics. It is just a fundamental difference between Liberalism and Conservatism.
The reason we haven't secured the Mexican border, is because Congress refuses to listen to the American people, a majority of which, wants this to be the top priority. McCain/Palin stand a much better chance at effectively solving this problem, than Obama/Biden, who just want to give them drivers license, voter cards, and a jackass lapel pin!
I don't believe we should lock our borders and not let anyone else in, I don't even believe we should do away with student visas, I just made the point that student visas are a liberal concept, which is the truth. It's not a conservative idea.... how the hell does it satisfy conservatism? It's purely an emotional, feel-good concept, which is the hallmark of Liberalism.
