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.
