On the southern border they park their cars and wait for the Mexicans to come to them ...those that are free to patrol have rules ..parts of the desert thay are not allowed into..and if the illegal gets to a certain point they are told they may not chase them
With rules like these in place we would need them to stand shoulder to shoulder and have them form a human fence
We need to understand that Bush does not WANT to keep them out..so they will come it..
Homeland security is checking little old white ladies bording planes to see their grand kids....it is aimed at removing rights from the citizens to make all of us safe..It is NOT about keeping the bad guys out
I also recommended a total revamp of the rules/regs/etc.
These thing were in place after the Clintonites and others finished sanitizing the Dept's. Those Clintonites are still there! Current union rules prevent their transfers or even discipline.
The recent HSD Bill should give them the tools they need to fix these and many other problems with the rules and regs.

I do not see it that way at all. What I see is a president that is struggling to keep a good relationship with Mexico. The changes will be gradual and not just dropped on them like a rock. The fact is, that there are enough wannabes on the other side of that border to overwhelm any barrier that we might put up.
We need a cooperative Mexico, and not a new enemy. They have their issues as well. They are also a important vote in the U.N.! They also provide oil, and power sharing for the U.S.
Look at it from a macro perspective and you will see more clearly what the controlling factors are. There are many more that I have not mentioned.
