The war in Afghanistan has now been going on for 8 years.

The War in Iraq has no been going on for 6 years.

Casualties are as follows below,  consider the casualties,  and money spent on these never ending wars.

If we had taken the money and manpower we could of built a 30' wide 100' tall rock or cements block wall reinforced with metal rods,  and toped with barbed wire around Afghanistan & Iraq and STILL HAD MONEY LEFT OVER.

We should consider immigration reform and controls in lieu of war.
