The rest of the usual suspects are finally slithering into view...

[JackelopeBreeder]

Ping!

Sad to say, but it appears that my friends and I have managed to offend a rather large number of people.

Bwahahahahahaha!

[SkyPilot]

undocumented people in Arizona

I prefer the correct term, that even Phil Collins was not afraid to use in his song:

"It's no fun, being an Illegal Alien."

[Arkinsaw]

Boiled down newspeak? Its illegal to catch illegal aliens.

[Uncle George]

It's because our economy and our jobs are a GAME to the illeagles.

[fourdeuce82d]

I'm disgusted. This use of video equipped privately owned robo-bat-nazis is icky.

They don't even have a stripped down Ruger 10-22 full auto for varmint plinking. It's downright unAmerican.

[Willie Green]

Also, that if the ABP aircraft enters Mexican territory without authorization to conduct its operations, this would break Mexican and international laws on intrusion into the airspace of sovereign nations, creating a possible international incident.

What? These whining buttwipes don't think the intrusion of millions of illegal immigrants upon American soil is creating a "possible international incident"???

Oughta equip the plane with a spotlight for night flights an watch las cucarachas scatter!

[Texas_Jarhead]

MALDEF has always been a 5th column group but it is sad to see how the mexican nationals have completely taken over LULAC. Neither of them cares about the US as a whole.

[Tauzero]

bttt

[Porterville]

As a Hispanic, we do not condemn any way of catching illegal immagrants.

Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Foundation (MALDEF)

Hell! Not even Mexican Americans like these people.

[ARCADIA]

Hispanic and human rights organizations in the United States condemned the anti-immigrant American Border Patrol (ABP) for its illegal use of a spy airplane to remotely detect undocumented people in Arizona.

Lets see the list; show me which hispanic associations are condeming this. Every hispanic-American I come across seems to understand our need to police our borders. What is the point of having borders if you are not going to have border integrity.

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Anyone care to join me in the group known as the The "I'm So Fu**ing Sick Of This Sh*t Foundation"?
(ISFSOTSF)

I can throw some alphabet soup around too, ya know!

[Steel and Fire and Stone]

Have nothing against immigrants. My wife is one. May of my friends are immigrants or foreign nationals. However, Mexican nationals crossing our borders illegally are, in point of fact, illegal aliens. So they are guilty of a crime.

Second, this is an economically motivated crime. (Ok .. ok.. most crimes are economically motivated.) An economic deterrent will solve the problem. How 'bout this: $1,000 fine and 6 months in jail for the first offense, $50,000 fine and 1 year in jail for the second offense, and $100,000 fine and 5 years in jail for every succeeding offense. For "jail", create a "tent city" penitentiary in the Arizona desert. Nothing cruel. Make it bearable, but not easy or fun. Give them some education for their first term, but upon succeeding offenses, send them to a chain gang to experience hard labor.

Cruel? Mean? Not at all. It's a DETERRANT! There will not be recidivism if there is no profit in the crime. Right now, we're "winking" at the illegal aliens, shipping them back home within 24 hours of arrival in the U.S., and in effect telling them:

• "Hey.. no harm done. You lost the lottery this time, but ALMOST EVERYONE WHO ENTERS WINS BIG! Comeon back and try, try again!."

If Jose Doe cannot send money back to the family in Mexico, AND loses what he made working illegally in the U.S. due to forfeiture, he'll chose to try his luck on the Mexican economy before blowing through the U.S. judicial system again.

At the same time, I think we need to maintain a healthy work-visa system, i.e. not the no-limits system of the Tech Industry H1B give away, nor restrictions that harm the U.S. economy, and remove all hope from our friends across the border.

The current system is a joke ... a DANGEROUS joke. The U.S. needs to control it's borders to defend American citizens.

[LiteKeeper]

The defender of immigrant rights

Immigrants are those that enter our country with valid visas. They are defending people who are breaking US laws. It is amazing the number of times these "defenders" cite what they call "illegal" activities of those working to stop illegal activity. Who decides which parts of the law they obey and which parts they break?

Shades of 1984!

[SAMWolf]

How dare we try to stop ILLEGALS from entering OUR Country.< /sarcasm>

[Mo1]

The defender of immigrant rights also condemned that ABP plans to use that type of technology to catch undocumented people instead of using it to save human lives in the desert during the season of extreme heat that is approaching in the region.

Don't come here illegally and there won't be a problem

[GirlyGirl2003]

So, let me see if I understand this: These pro-illegal alien groups are saying that it is illegal to spy on illegals?

In other words, it is, in their opinion, illegal to use the Global Hawk to spy on people breaking into the USA???

[WOSG]

correction:

MALDEF Condemns law enforcement

[pragmatic_asian]

In other news the Mob protests the use of wire-taps and informants in police work; criminals also decry police patrols and neighborhood watches.

[Mr. Mojo]

if the ABP aircraft enters Mexican territory without authorization to conduct its operations, this would break Mexican and international laws on intrusion into the airspace of sovereign nations, creating a possible international incident.

LOL...What are the Mexicans going to do about it? What can they do? Threaten to oppose us in the UN? Oh that's right, they already do that consistently. Allow Islamic terrorists to have a convenient base from which they can attack the U.S.? Oh yeah, they do that as well. Encourage their crimminals to come across the border (illegallly) and clog our jails? Again, old news.
