"secure the borders." what an absolutely nonsensical phrase.

Do you say this because you think it would be too hard, or because you disagree with the concept?

A sovereign nation would not remain as such for very long without defined and defended borders, don't you think?

Wiki

The current notion of state sovereignty was laid down in the Treaty of Westphalia (1648), which, in relation to states, codified the basic principles of territorial integrity, border inviolability, and supremacy of the state (rather than the Church). A sovereign is a supreme lawmaking authority.

I'll readily admit I don't know how to get it done, but I don't understand why wanting secure borders is nonsensical.
