With all this talk of terrorism, one would think this would be taken care of.

I agree with those who are now being shot at: NO ONE IS LISTENING.

I agree with those who are now being shot at, that the Bush Amnesty proposal has caused a sharp increase of illegals crossing the border.

I agree with those who are now being shot at, that this increase of illegals lured by the Bush Amnesty makes it harder for our border security to catch more than just Mexicans.

I agree with those who are now being shot at, that what happened in Madrid is going to happen here, and it's going to come over the Mexican border.

And, I agree with those who are now being shot at, that if it comes out that the terrorists crossed the border, then maybe someone will ask the question, did the Bush Amnesty help the terrorists?

And, I agree with those who are now being shot at - we can be like those in Spain holding up the signs "PAZ!" (Peace!) - blame those who are trying to protect us as the reason the insane hate us - and that, if we do so, we may as well surrender right now. I am not blaming Bush. I am telling him, better change some of his opinions about the border. Better lock and load, and lock down the border.

And I agree with those who are now being shot at - kill or be killed.

A major terrorist attack directed at and in the United States from across the Mexican Border would effectively end ANY chance of Bush being re-elected..

Liberals and Kerry Democrats may very well use the porous mexican border as a campaign issue in the next few months.

"...our guys are being fired upon from the other side of the border and they will not return fire. …"

Now THAT is asinine stupidity!

I agree that Mexican immigration is not one of Bush's strong points. His amnesty plan was foolish and politically stupid. We haven't heard much more about it, and possibly he has had second thoughts after the firestorm of protests.

But anyone who thinks Kerry would conceivably campaign on a platform of closing the Mexican border has got to be out of his mind. If he did that he would lose half his base. He would be lynched by his own supporters. Never happen. Bad as the Republicans have been on this issue, the Democrats are much worse.

You'd think frequent gun battles along the U.S.-Mexico border between federal agents and citizen border-monitoring groups on this side, and drug and people smugglers on the other side, would make the national headlines.

You'd think that an AMERICAN PRESIDENT might be concerned about this and put a stop to it. Simply put, Bush doesn't care. If he cared he would have closed the borders after 9/11. Flooding America with cheap labor and potential voters is the plan of his handlers.

We who live in the southwest, are well aware of this problem. Can you tell if the Tuscon paper has a website for updates on this problem?
