NOW...is it time to close the borders....?
Norm!
Uh huh. I get tired of arguing with those who think it's an easy thing to close the borders and when border patrols CATCH Mideasterners that it's not enough...but THAT piece of BS deserves a "Brooklyn Bridge for Sale, CHEAP" alert.
Maybe Kerry's secret security plan is an Israelilike border fence from sea to shining sea. The Bush administration says our borders are basically indefensible -- a mindset which we'll eventually have to change. Of course Kerry would have to raise taxes in order to build this fence, but heck, maybe he'd have a winner with this idea. On second thought, no. He'd lose the Hispanic vote, which he can't afford. Plus, nobody would believe that's where he'd put our tax dollars. He'd pull a switcheroo and set up water/food centers in the desert or soem damn thing.
"but officials said the case had no connection to terrorism. "
Anybody who crosses illegally is committing some from of terrorism on the legal citizens of the US!
Please don't call me naive... But... I really do believe that the Bush Administration wants to stop terrorists threats from abroad. Maybe this will be the imputus needed to secure our border once and for all.
Oh good grief. Could not or would not???
We will regret our reluctance to get a handle on illegal immigration. We are spending BILLIONS on homeland security, multi millions on beefing up security in NYC, DC and Newark right now, yet we invite the terrorists in on our southern flank. Of course, after the next major terrorist attack, it is determined that the perpetrators came into the US from Mexico(too late obviously), we'll begin to take this issue seriously. Unfortunately, our enemy will have already succeeded in getting all the terrorists into the country. I am so afraid this nation will live to regret(many won't though) not doing something sooner.
I don't agree with those who feel it is an impossible task. IF we have another major terror act and it is traced to people coming thru our southern border, you can bet two things are gonna happen;
1. We will find a way (and fast) to do a better job of protection our borders.
2. GWB will be run out of office on a rail (or won't be reelected).
Ain't nobody gonna believe we we put a good faith effort into protecting our border. Let's seal the border. If we really believe we need more people, then we should invite them in and screen them on the way in.
1-2 million bouncing betty land mines would significantly reduce the number of "illegal" border crossers.
Sure the guy is not a terrorist he just came here for a little R&R.
Here, please
The American Legion magazine ran a feature article in the August 2004 issue concerning this very topic.
They also gave mention about the local citizen efforts to control the American-Mexican border. Most of which can be found at americanpatrol.com.

I spent several hours looking for that vehicle. It would have been nice if I was told that a middle easterner was among the load. That info never made it to the line agents.
And you know this Ms Mack because.......?? Because the suspect is now in your custody maybe?! Yeah, sure!
