I have friends in CA and AZ who are dealing with explosion in illegals and they feel helpless.

I'm in California and also have friends in Arizona. Most of our politicians are deaf and dumb when the subject is illegal immigration.

NO MORE VOTES FOR OPEN BORDERS POLITICIANS, AND THEY'RE IN BOTH PARTIES!

Not your fault...that's what the article said!

The BP in Washington admits that 1 or 2 cross undetected for each illegal caught. BP agents at the border say the number is actually between 5 and 10.

And you know, that doesn't even begin to count those who simply overstay their visas. We ought to put Blockbuster in charge of visa control, whaddya think? Overstay more than 2 days, and Whammo! you're busted.

We edge ever closer to Civil War II.

I've been calling it Rev War II. Same difference, I guess.

Gov. Rick Perry is mulling a border neighborhood watch-style program.

He already has one. What he is probably ACTUALLY mullling over is how can HE take credit for it.

We don't need the Cornyn bill or the Mckennedy bill. We need the current laws ENFORCED. Don't put on a show of passing more unneeded legislation you dolts, ENFORCE EXISTING LAW!

"A thirty foot wall works pretty good for Israel"


We can't do that here, in case Bayourod and the other OBLoonies haven't told you, it's impossible. Never mind that wall in Israel. They can do it but it is not possible to do it here. That big thingy in China you can see from space? Not there. It's true. Complete lie.

(sarcasm off)

No civil war has to happen. We just need to send home people who are not legally here.

If these people want so much to be here, let them do it legally.

Funny,.....if the government caught someone in the MOB cooking the books like that they'd never see the outside of prison walls again. Yet these Mini-Maj Frank Burns........

"...charges by some Republicans that they're just trying to embarrass President Bush."


He should be embarrassed - if he has that much sense of shame left!

Is it possible --- does anyone have any ideas how to go about this -- to get an accounting (even a generalized one) of where and how that huge amount of money that has been devoted to "national security" and "border patrol" has been spent? Or at least, intended to be spent?

If the state's are so overrun and out spent and overtaxed as to manpower and available resources, where's the result of all that money? Where has it gone?

The very huge Transportation bill that was just passed...I'm also curious about that, as to specifics as it can be applied or is involved with "border" issues of all kinds, given that I just read about the big ole' corridor being constructed for big ole' dollars between Texas and Mexico.

And that "450,000" landed is only the REPORTED number of illegal aliens entering the U.S. annually.

At least start charging them "late fees" that they'll have to pay one way or another.

There really should be some sort of penalty fee for every day an illegal alien remains in the U.S. after expired visa and/or otherwise. Fine them for their illegal stay.

The PTB refuse to do their jobs. They have an alternate plan.

Nobody will be sent back, because it is not in the plan.

A civil war may well be needed to restore the Constitutional Republic.

While there is little opposition to the idea of heightened border and interior enforcement, the Bush administration and lawmakers remain deeply split about how to treat those living here illegally. Some favor a plan that would set illegal immigrants on the path to legal residence, while others such as Mr. Cornyn propose allowing them to work here legally for several years before returning home

Both of these plans sound to me like they reward people for breaking the law. I think any guestworker plan should require that the person applying for guestworker status NOT BE CURRENTLY IN THE UNITED STATES. They must go back to their country of origin to apply. Period.

The first Civil War was over States rights. In that slavery ended.

The second Civil War will be over States rights. The rights that the Federal Government refuses to uphold. A sovereign nation.

This is a fairly long read and it'll frost your b*lls but
every one in the country should read it. Sorry I haven't learned how to post a link, so you will have to cut and paste.
