Never Ending War to Make the World Safe for Progressives

Iraq will need about 80,000 effective military troops to retake the terrain it lost to Islamic State militants and restore its border with Syria, the top U.S. general said on Thursday.
“We’re going to need about 80,000 competent Iraqi security forces to recapture territory lost, and eventually the city of Mosul, to restore the border,” Army General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, told a congressional hearing.
Dempsey said the request for more U.S. forces in Iraq would create centers to help train the additional troops needed.
Of course the question some might ask is how it is that Am Progs think the Iraq - Syrian border restoration is worth troop lives and we don't have a real border with Mexico anymore.

The lack of a border is caused by Black Markets. A favorite of our Republican friends.

If the border was MORE porous the Mexicans would come and go. But because getting in is so expensive you get people staying for longer than they would otherwise.

With economic differentials declining eventually Mexico will be Canada to the South. If it wasn't for the Black Market in some refined and unrefined vegetable matter.

The cure is to stop making things illegal. The lefty cure of making illegals legal has no chance. IMO. But the cure currently posited by the right is equally fantastic - the incentives are wrong.

Canadians rarely come for free medical, food, and education. If this wasn't a Socialist country immigration would be strictly for work.
