Outmanned and overwhelmed (At the Border)

CALEXICO – The fresh footprints ran along the muddy riverbed, scampered across puddles of chocolate-brown water, took a turn into the next bend and finally fell out of sight.

U.S. Border Patrol senior agent Miguel A. Hernandez looked at the tracks as he stopped his unmarked white SUV on a bridge connecting a rocky road in the Yuha Desert about a mile north of this Imperial County border town. The police radio squawked, then Hernandez sped up, ending up on a dusty ridge above the New River.

Here's a start!

The Berlin Wall didn't stop anyone from crossing it, the guards with machine guns every fifty yards were what stopped people who would have otherwise just climbed over the wall. Once the guards were withdrawn it didn't take citizens with sledge hammers and pick axes anytime at all to tear down the wall.

[kellynla]

hey, genius, ask the Israelis how many people have climbed over their wall?

you can keep trying to make excuses for your illegal friends but those of us who cherish our sovereignty and actually pay taxes are fed up with your friends.
And if you don't like it, you can get the hell out with 'em...

I'm hoping you support the FAIRTAX.ORG, HR/S 25, which will take a 'VALID' social security number to receive a rebate of taxes paid up to the poverty level.

A carrot works better than a stick.

It's a damn shame that the big strong Federal government will not or can not secure the border.

However, a few in the over the hill geriatric crowd can do what they can't.

The Berlin Wall like most things constructed by communists was faulty and poorly built.

"ask the Israelis how many people have climbed over their wall? "

People don't need to climb over because the Israelis have a very liberal guest worker program.

Thank you for bringing up the Israeli fence. It is an example of Secretary Chertoff's proposed strategy for sealing our borders against terrorists and violent criminal gang members.

Israel's policy even goes so far as to have unguarded gates with biometric locks (and cameras) that farmers can use to cross back and forth at will.

Secretary Chertoff testified before two Congressional committees telling them that he could not secure our southern border unless they first enacted certain reforms.

Tancredo immediately vowed to block the needed reform legislation.

You are either with us our you are with the terrorists.

"People don't need to climb over because the Israelis have a very liberal guest worker program."

If you're brains were dynamite, you couldn't blow your nose...
What you know about Israel wouldn't take 5 seconds. LMAO

Times up! Your illegal friends will have to find some place else to mooch 'cause the free ride is coming to an abrupt end.
Point, Game, Set, Match!

"The Berlin Wall like most things constructed by communists was faulty and poorly built. "

The Pyramids were well built and still they were raided many times.

Show me an unguarded wall that can't be climbed over, dug under, cut through, blown up, bulldozed over, drilled through, ...

Fences serve certain purposes. They are good at keeping livestock and most animals in or out, like the new one they are building on the New Mexico border to keep diseased Mexican cattle from wandering across the border and infecting American herds.

Fences are good for delineating the border. They let people (especially border guard) know where the border is so they don't accidentally hunt or graze livestock on the wrong land. Bob wired fences are sufficient for this purpose.

Fences are fairly good at preventing vehicles from crossing at points you don't want them crossing. However as any fireman can tell you, chain link fences don't slow down a firetruck responding to an apartment complex fire.

But fences alone can never stop individuals who want to cross.

Same old response, nothing but childish personal insults.

Is that how Tancredo will respond in the presidential debates everytime his opponents present facts to counter his propaganda? Of course his devotees will think his responses are brilliant but the other 99.6% of the viewers will think what people think of yours.

Secretary Chertoff testified before two Congressional committees telling them that he could not secure our southern border unless they first enacted certain reforms.

House Majority Leader and U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay last week called for the use of all available technology to secure the U.S. borders before implementing a guest worker program.

I guess this means that Tom DeLay is an Anti.

" You are either with us our you are with the terrorists."

I remember President Bush saying that. Evidently he was excluding Vincente Fox.
