Nearly 97% of all methamphetamines are coming across the Mexican border as well as other dangerous narcotics. Despite ever-escalating taxes for prison incarceration, bankrupt school districts, social welfare costs, insolvent hospitals and the enormous human and financial costs of the drug cartel - what do we hear from the two presidential candidates about this national crisis? A dispute about what lipstick on a pig means.

Dammit, start passing out the ammunition.

I can’t figure out which is worse — the contempt for us and our borders, or the Washington invertebrates who let them get away with this crap.

Or the Libertarians trying to often advocate recreational drug use.
Not good IMO.

“Or the Libertarians trying to often advocate recreational drug use.”

I know they think their logic adds up, but they never seem to account for the increase in drug use that results from increased availability.

You’ll need that ammunition if you go near the border. That area is like Dodge City! And it’s spreading - the results of the massive illegal immigrant invasion can now be seen even in rural areas and in nearly every state.

Lon Dobbs has courageously and objectively dealt with this dire national issue for years and when it not the PC thing to discuss. I don’t know if you guys realize it but when Dobbs was young he actually worked in the fields with immigrants. He went on to graduate from Harvard. His degree was in econonomics which gives him special insight into the economic calamity the illegal invasion has brought us. He attributes the problem mostly to (a)ethnocentric political pressure groups, (b)special business interests who love that cheap labor with no benefits (U.S. Chamber of Commerce, etc.) and (c) pandering politicians who put votes and self-interest above the intersts of the nation.

I tried hard to support Jorge; I really did.

But he just kept stabbing me in the back, then twisting the knife.

Not that I have Bush Derangement Syndrome, but I am disappointed and hacked off.

I totally agree with you. The point about Israel is well taken and their wall is extremely effective in keeping terrorists out. Our pro-amnesty groups like to call our wall a Berlin Wall. But the Berlin wall was erected to keep people IN, not to keep illegal invaders OUT. It’s a national disgrace that our politicians are stalling and fumbling around and failing to complete a project that was approved by Congress and the president.

I’m thinking of investing in a post-election novelty item. It will be a bumper sticker that reads “Don’t blame me. I supported Tanredo.”
