Bill O’Reilly Calls for the US Army to Patrol the Border Permanently [WATCH]
Conservative Tribune ^ | July 2 2014 | Conservative Tribune

Posted on 07/02/2014 10:02:46 AM PDT by PoloSec

The recent illegal immigration crisis, conveniently whipped up by President Obama and his cronies, has become a hot topic of discussion in the media.

Many liberals are calling for amnesty to be granted to the thousands of unaccompanied children that are pouring into the country, filling up emergency shelters all across the border states.

Conservatives on the other hand want the current immigration laws on the books to be enforced and the border to be secured to stop illegals from gaining access to America.

Bill O’Reilly recently decided to tackle the subject of illegal immigration on his Fox News program, offering a solution so full of common sense it’s likely to baffle the political class in Washington.

O’Reilly outlined a plan for immigration reform that involved the U.S. border being permanently patrolled by the Army, and would prohibit illegal adults from receiving welfare benefits.

via Fox News:

O’Reilly said that President Barack Obama must demand that Mexico police its own borders. This means preventing tens of thousands of illegal aliens from crossing into Mexico from Guatemala, as well as stopping human smugglers and border intruders from crossing into the U.S. On the other side of the border, the American Army should also be patrolling. If Mexico doesn’t cooperate on the border issue, Obama should threaten trade sanctions.

Next, “The Factor” host said that undocumented aliens should have to register at a local post office within three months, providing their name, age, country of origin and U.S. address. If they don’t, it would be a felony and they would go to a federal prison upon conviction.

Old Billy must have gotten up on the right-hand side of his bed this morning...

Usually... he just slides right down the middle to the foot of the bed, then slinks off.

I think that’s actually a violation of our treaty with Mexico. What we need is a new Border Patrol with tens of thousands of members (former military?) and every tool and dollar we can give them.

People here been saying all these things for going on Oh, the Life of Free Republic.

Just common sense.

We get called all sorts of names for it...racist, xenophobes, right wing extremists, nazis...whatever

Virtually all countries on Earth do all this to preserve their own space. Just not the European Caucasian countries because the internal enemies agitate to prevent it...

If you put up a big fence and on the other side have a sign that says “lots and lots of free stuff and we won’t be mad that you climbed the fence” everyone with climb the fence. Border security is meaningless. People need to not be able to come here illegally and get free education. healthcare, drivers licenses, in state tuition, jobs, etc., etc..

Of course, O Reilly and Fochs News would never call for 100% Deportation...they support Illegal Alien Amnesty

There is no border security until you deport all the Illegal Aliens

I think Mexican military helicopters shooting across the border is an Act of War.

I think Mexico encouraging its citizens to wantonly violate our borders is causus belli.

Jus' sayin' ...

Casus belli is a Latin expression meaning "An act or event that provokes or is used to justify war"

Don’t kid yourself. This is a throwaway line for O’bloviator to portray himself as being semisolid on immigration.

BO is Obama’s best friend at FOX. He is useless. Don’t watch his show any more.

I watched O’Baxter last night for the first time in months, amazingly he made sense. Especially his take on Immigration reform.
I agree, a proposal like this has been around for a while, but as Ronald Reagan said, it does not matter who gets the credit if we can do the right thing.
SO I say, let's try pushing this as the O’Baxter plan.

Yeah, I know... BoR is a waste of energy. Was just being sarcastic.

Would that be permitted under the Posse Comitatus act?

Arrest some Federales and watch what Mexico does.

This is the right procedure and arm with the best military weapons that can be provided. O'Reilly's idea might be just a temporary solution while Border Patrol agents can be hired and trained. Especially shooting range proficiency.

What is this ‘both sides’ he’s talking about?

He’s divisive.

What does he think anyone with common sense is talking about?

He is... ugh
es?

Or as idiotic as the left, just because they’re on the other side of this?

What is wrong with making people apply for citizenship?

If people did this then they would learn about our country.

No more spoon feeding them and speaking Spanish. Learn English or go home, if they don’t like it.

Like anyone else in any place in time or country.

And the Chamber of commerce can just get this too, or do they have too much money to adhere to our laws.

I don’t want to press one for my language.

Does he want people to think that people on the right are just hateful xenophobes?
