THE MINUTEMEN WANT A FENCE

The immigration "debate" continues....and with every passing day, the American people get more and more fed up with the invasion of illegal aliens from Mexico. One proposal being kicked around is to build the equivalent of The Great Wall of Mexico. That's right...a huge wall stretching some 1,951 miles...from San Diego to Brownsville. That should just about do it. Make it a double-fence. Let really hungry dogs patrol the space between. It's an invasion ... it needs to be stopped.

At any rate, the desire for some sort of border wall is falling on deaf ears in Washington. It's not politically correct.....people think it's mean. But building a wall to prevent an invasion is natural right of any citizen or government. Mexicans are talking about the "reconquista." That's the dream of many Mexicans to retake the American Southwest ... as their own. If you aren't sufficiently agitated by this invasion, perhaps you would like to log on to http://www.aztlan.net. There you will find a story about a University of New Mexico Chicano Studies professor who is predicting a new, sovereign Hispanic nation in the Southwest. He calls it the "Republica del Norte" That would translate into the Republic of the North. This professor in an American university says that this is inevitable. Do you like the sound of that?

Anyway, enter the Minutemen. This is the group of citizen militia that have been patrolling the border with Mexico on their own time. They're tired of the endless stampede from Mexico. So now they've issued an ultimatum to President Bush. Build a fence or we'll do it for you.

In fact, it may happen. Already, landowners along the border are stepping forward to donate the land to put up the wall and contractors have stepped forward to donate equipment to build it. This could work...and maybe we can finally put a lid on illegal immigration.

Maybe

You would imagine that having another country slowly invade yours would be a wake up call. Our politicians (almost all) have no backbone to do anything about it. I bet the politicians would get more upset with the minutemen actually.

Well, there go those racist vigilantes again. /sarc

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but they are also apparently building a privately-funded wall:

They need to understand that those who cooperate with the illegals will be turned out of office, recalled or otherwise according to state law. They should be VERY AFRAID of losing their jobs. The MAJORITY of citizens demand it...

My wife and I will be sending $100 dollars to the minutemen.

" "Republica del Norte" That would translate into the Republic of the North. This professor in an American university says that this is inevitable. "

I think it is inevitable. It will be a huge mistake, and nothing but chaos. Now, looking at who's doing the invading, and the place they left, why should we expect anything other than mistakes and chaos?

Our politicians are selling us out. Half of the country, (the left), is all for it. Of those on the right, half of them are for it because it means cheap labor.

The group that's trying to put up the wall are land owners on the border, (people who have a lot to lose). And patriots. A very small group. They'll be painted as nut cases, and some odd zoning law will be passed that will make fences illegal there.

This is really Bush's fault. The problem has been festering for years, but in the last 5 or 6 years it has become particularly acute. Bush had a chance to turn it around but ignored it. He had the vision on Al Quaeda but is woefully lacking in vision when it comes to protecting our borders. We are being sold out big-time by the political class. It is time to replace all of these rotten bastards. That includes Republicans that are part of the political class.

I do presume the minutmen will be using American union labor and rules and following all regulations(OSHA etc.etc).

[Little Ray]

I don't want a fence. I want a wall. And a minefield. And helicopter gunship patrols. And a fast reaction force. I want our Mexican border treated like South Korea treats the border with North Korea. Only tighter.

[savedbygrace]

I predict enviro-nazis will file some lawsuits to stop it.

BTTT

I guess you can't stand Neal Boortz either, huh?

Not sure what you're driving at here Dane.
