SUPPORTIVE NEWS STORY POSTED ON PHXnews

PHXnews Editorial
In March of 2003, I spent a few days in Nogales (Mexico & U.S.) investigating Arabs who were paying $60,000 per person to be smuggled into the U.S. While at the border, I met up with a buddy who is a high-ranking member of the border patrol. As he has done in the past, he was very candid with me and shared the latest developments in Americas homeland security.
At one point during our conversation, I asked my friend, How many illegals get successfully over the border? He said the official Border Patrol line is that 25% of those trying to gain illegal entrance into the U.S. get apprehended. But after some blunt discussion he admitted that figure was way too high. He then said softly, We arent allowed to talk about the real percentage we catch, but
the flow is so heavy, were only nabbing 10%.
WOW! That means 90% of attempting illegals are getting into the U.S. safely.
HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS! The U.S. Border Patrol in the Tucson sector recently announced 347,256 illegals were apprehended during their fiscal year 03 that ended in September. 347,000 is a pretty high number, but thats the number of people caught. Some 3,472,650 (the other 90%) are not getting caught each year. Does that sound like a lot to you? Well, its not!
3.5 million illegal aliens are coming in successfully through the Tucson sector alone each year, but what about the other 21 secures protecting our borders? Sounds to me like the real number of illegal aliens we get each year is closer to 10 million, and thats being conservative.
My friend with the Border Patrol also mentioned, that Americans would freak out if they knew how many Arabs are coming over this border each month.
This was all said to me off the record because under the new Office of Homeland Security, the Border Patrol is not allowed to talk about Arab "migration".

....maybe this is why I feel the strong desire to put my foot through the TV whenever I hear El Presedente' Jorge Boooooosh babble on and on about "fighting terrorists", all the while tens of thousands of human beings wander across our borders each month completely unchecked.
GWB-turning a blind eye to the obvios problem at our borders appoints Tom Ridge who has stated he will not seal the borders for "political and cultural" reasons. Meanwhile, GWB appoints Zigler to head the "new" INS. Zigler is the son of two illegals, so we know where his priorities lie.
A recipie for disaster.

As per Bush and Fox's agreement and Bush's perverted idealistic thrust toward American cultural self-genocide. You haven't seen anything yet.

Todd needs to get some facts before he spouts off his assumptions. Maybe he is looking for some attention.

A few of these "illegal immigrants" broke the windows of a house full of co-eds near the UW Stevens Point, Wi. campus...they threatend the girls for not letting them in....and said they would be back...with guns next time....
The step dad of one of the girls said that his step daughter was crying and asking her mom to come to Stevens Point and help her find a new apartment closer to campus..and move her stuff..
The girls were terrorized...
The area is home to Big Business potato and vegetable growing canning and freezing food operations...that employ thousands of mexicans...
They are taking over the area...and bringing their violence and attitudes with them....
Naturally being minorities...(and employees of big corperations) the police are loathe to do much to stop them...i
But Lord help any locals who try and to do the cops job for them...since they are unwilling to..
imo

He's not turning a blind to it. He's engineering it/
Bush is one of those peculiar religious types who is captivated by the rapture of masochism and self destruction. It's a bit like the flagellants of previous centuries who went about beating themselves with whips in imitation and feeling the suffering of Jesus, only Bush's condition is modernized. He will flagellate this nation into self-destruction.

It seems Arizona has become the funneling point for illegals. Illegal alien traffic in California has dropped off to almost nothing while the traffic in Arizona has nearly doubled.

Nothing can be done to secure the border until DemocRATs initiate the legislation. Sure the porus border is a major problem. The Rats would love W to fix the problem and doom the GOP to minority status for the forseable future.
Rats drool over the hispanic vote. They see this number-one minority voting over 90% Rat if W cracks down on the border.
Should W increase security of the border if it gives Rats control of the government for the next 30 years?
I think not.
It's time to start pinning the Rats down on their border positions before damning W and the GOP with the issue.
If Rats fully supported tighter border security then it would be done.

Every vote all y'all don't cast FOR him is an effective vote for his opponent.

"Arabs who were paying $60,000 per person to be smuggled into the U.S"
Well that's not fair; must be 10-20 times what an hispanic illegal pays. They should call the ACLU.

Whether you can see it or not, he is the opponent. If Clinton were to say and do the same things as Bush, you would be screaming and protesting to high heaven.

The United States is going to be overpopulated, and sooner or later, we will have a job shortage with so many people coming into this country. In addition to the illegals, we are also letting in 57,000 legal immirgrants each week, and more are coming in with H-1B, L-1 visas, and about a million come in to our colleges so they can be trained by our teachers to take away our jobs.
Since the US adds about 2.5 million per year, this "conservative" annual estimate of 10 million people enterering the US illegally seems extravagant.
To: AZ Righty
The real figgure is in the tens of millions. To get them out now will take a war. I suggest placing all our treasonous politicians on the front line.
To: RLK
I am -- and notwithstanding he is fighting a war on a lot of different FRonts -- screaming about My President's lack of visible attention to the criminal alien invasion.
AND I will never cast an effective vote for my enemy by falling for the insanity of witholding my supporting vote.
Better my Republican than your by-default un-and-anti-American Socialist-Internationalist "DemocRAT."

Don't republicans control the house, the senate, and the white house? You can't blame democrats because ALL of the majority fails to do nothing. Maybe you should look at your own party's ineptness.
