    I know that illegals can be stopped by tight border security as it is done in other countries that don't have walls. And there is the issue of the Canadian border that needs to be addressed. Easy for terrorists who gain easy access to Canada and then cross the border.

    There was US troops off shore so other then the idea that a fairly small Cuban force could take the island I have a feeling that what was in fact reality plan or not plan is open to question

    The Cuban missile crisis was a new wrinkle not in play when Kennedy refused to let the CIA drag the US into possible full scale military conflict with the Soviets. The CIA was warned. They didn't think Kennedy would keep his promise. He did.

    Be sure to tell your Cuban friends.

    LOL the fact that Kennedy did not end the Castro government and Castro for that matter cause Khrushchev to consider him weak to the point he could get away with placing nukes in Cuba and we came very near to a nuclear war as a result.

    Yes...LOL indeed!
    How "weak" did Kennedy look when Khruschev took his missiles back out of Cuba?

    I am sure that one of the pilots that flew air cover for the invasion will be interest in your opinions and will share them with him.

    The point is that there would not had been a Cuban missile crisis but for Kennedy not removing Castro from the world stage.

    You mean like the way Eisenhower took out Castro when Fidel first emerged with his very modest army?

    What a fascinating psychological case study you present. You blame Kennedy for not doing what Ike couldn't or didn't do himself.

    'We'll get?' you are laughable. We'll get. The Dems and Republicans will get together.

    Do you think the American public will have no influence over the final outcome?

    I think we will

    Sorry, I thought that you were referring to the trumpists when you said: "we'll." Yes, public opinion should usually count, but not to Trump.
    Unfortunately, he doesn't care about anyone who doesn't support him and plays only to his base.

    Nope. K challenged America, and Kennedy back him down. Kennedy was right, and the above 's analysis is wrong.

    True, so the incentive to encourage them to come must be removed. No welfare, no work, no anchor babies and immediate deportation if they are found in the US illegally.

    Anchor babies are here for good, NMNeil: not a thing can be done about that.

    I agree with the rest, as well as business death penalty on corporations whose officers knowingly break the law.

    "Progressives" are always trying to silence those that disagree with them: In the United States the right to petition is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which specifically prohibits Congress from abridging "the right of the people...to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".

    Another poster wants to forbid awarding contracts to any who make campaign contributions, or are associated with folks who make campaign contributions, limiting the ability of Americans to participate in Representative Government.

    Campaign contributions does not fall under petitioning the Government. Show me case law, if you think I am wrong.
