Immigration Issue Is Tricky Territory

Looking at that photo, I can't help but think that just 50 or so men could secure that area easily, with the right equipment, vehicles, como etc.....

Appearances are deceptive. From 6400 feet up it looks flat, but down in the valley it's a spiderweb series of uncountable dry washes. World War I trench warfare revisited. We have 800 Border Patrol agents who bust their butts trying to control this area and they still only catch maybe 20%.

Or a few men with .50s. Beautiful country.

I am very familiar with desert terrain and have been in and lived in much more rugged terrain than what is depicted in the photo. If they can't stop these folks in the area of the photo shown, with 800 Border Patrol agents, they have a serious problem. Seems they could use some listening devices, calibrated motion detector set for humans, instead of rabbits, trip alarms, and maybe some better night vision etc..... Then train 40 or 50 German Shepards to hear and see their movement 3 miles away in the dark. Can't the border patrol afford a used police chopper with FLIR? Sheesh.....

[JackelopeBreeder]

This is typical ground-level terrain.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yup, looks pretty typical....

[Joe Hadenuf]

What's the structure center, near top in the photo?

[JackelopeBreeder]

They have all that stuff -- backed up with our sensors and UAVs from ABP, about 150 volunteer "vigilantes", God knows how many local residents calling in sitings. It's a question of sheer numbers: 800 bush apes against 1,000,000+ fence jumpers. The odds weren't that bad at the Alamo.

Illegal aliens are voting in elections. Los Angeles County Registrar told me they don't have the manpower to check out citizenship requirements. Everything is taken for granted that you have told the truth on the application.

Double-wide mobile home with a windmill pump.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Oh. Almost looked like an elevated observation tower...

John & Ken's show? Only vicariously through postings on this site. If there were better Republicans ready to step into Dreier's (or whomevever's) place it wouldn't be a big deal, but posters give me the impression that some RINO is going to be sacrificed for a Democrat. If that's the case J & K are clearly abusing their influence. I hope those posters are mistaken.

You mentioned illegal immigrants don't go to Emergency Rooms for real emergencies like a bursting appendix. They will be showing up for bursting hearts and intestines. That's what happens to those who catch Chagas, a parasite driven disease common to Latin America. Larva drop down from thatch roofs into sleepers' mouths then make their way into the digestive tract. Chagas is incurable and we have no way to detect it until it's in its later stages.

Chagas-almost as bad as this guy from "Alien"

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yeah, but there not getting 1,000,000+ fence jumpers at one time, each night....On second thought, looking at LA, maybe they are.....

[JackelopeBreeder]

Some of the windmills and water tanks are used as observation towers. Here's the local nightmare; we call it The Corrals, the Mexicans call it Los Corrales. An abandoned ranch just south of the border fence. Within an hour after taking this photo, it was crawling with traffic out of Naco to the east and Cananaea to the south -- to include about 30 armed and uniformed military and hundreds of fence jumpers.

[JackelopeBreeder]

Yep. Think of the rest of the border outside of the scant 84 miles here in my county. Then think of Uncle JackelopeBreeder with a bad case of the ass...

Imagine that picture at night with blue chem-lites taped inside the helmet.

Chagas is a disease caught when a bite from the "kissing bug" itches, and you scratch it. The fecal matter enters the blood stream, and you are now infected with a parasite that causes enlargement of abdominal organs with eventual death. It was called Chagas after the Doctor Chagas who discovered it.

It is only found in Mexico, and South America, until we started importing these people northward. It is also passed when restaurant workers do not wash their hands properly. As well as hepatitis, and other terrible viral, bacterial, and parasitical diseases. THERE IS NO CURE.

I found this out on a search through google.

[JackelopeBreeder]

Take a gander at this and try to imagine the amount of human waste within 50 yards...

Now multiply that pic by several hundred and imagine it wwithin a few minutes leisurely drive from your house.

[television is just wrong]

The Sierra Club should be outraged. They however, have no backbone. I have heard about this on various websites, never seen actual photos. Speaks volumes.

[NewRomeTacitus]

I got that bit about the thatch roofs from an article about the CDC's latest concerns. I didn' know there were other ways to catch the dam thing.

It may be incurable but I wager Jackelope Breeder keeps it at bay by dosing himself with "Chagas Regal".

[JackelopeBreeder]

Be glad you can't smell it as well. I carry dust masks and a bottle of Old Spice.

[television is just wrong]

Ick, you live with that trash. I'd put it on a train and send it back to where it came from, Mr. Fox's office.
