Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz (D-TX) received Rush's Katie Couric Award for the stupidest question asked in a 24-hour period.

Time to start paying a bounty of $1000/head for illegal aliens trying to cross the border. That would put the kibosh on that noise tout suite.

Yeah that's right, bring ole Jackson-Lee to Corpus. Houston is over run by illegal aliens, but you better not arrest them or for that matter even look at them funny. you know us racist American citizens are so heartless.

"Our porous southern border represents one of the greatest security threats to this country," Lee said. "But on the other hand, we don't want to impede the free flow of trade and commerce."

Is the same twit who wanted to see the flag on Mars?

[marty60]

Well you would become a Millionaire in Houston.

Give the drug lords in Mexico one "get out of jail" free card for each ten suspected terrorists turned over. I'm just joking, of course. But someone should explain to the drug smugglers that one terrorist linked to the U.S.- Mexico border is going to seriously interfere with their future profits when the border is sealed up a lot tighter than it is now.

The idea of infiltration of that border make a lot of sense, and I think we need to be on guard - but warnings from this particular trio give me the sense that something is malodorous in Denmark. It's a little like the press conference the Sen. Barbara Boxer rushed to do after a congressional intelligence briefing on the threat of shoulder launched missiles against airliners. You got the rather pungent perception that she wasn't trying to assist with security - she was just littering the record with "I told you so" opportunities.

Are you impugning the honor of our "beloved" California Senator??

Excellent!!!

[St.Mark]

Give cash for every terrorist turned in. I think your normal illegal alien would jump at the chance to turn them in.

[rodguy911]

These guys are asking Sheila Jackson Lee for help, that's like asking OBL, shes a commie/rat that probably helps terrorists.

[SamiGirl]

Don't understand. What's to probe? The border is wide open.

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[Kackikat]

I say we seal that border and Canada's too.

U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, hosted U.S. Rep. Jim Turner, D-Crockett, and U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston

What a group. Good ol' Solomon Whoretease, boy genius, and Ms Jackson Lee, girl astronaut. I feel safer now.

"Don't understand. What's to probe? The border is wide open. "

Wrong. On the Canadian border there is one border agent for every five miles. On the Mexican border there are seven agents per mile. Plus the Mexican border has fences, rangers, military forces, drones, towers, sensors, fixed wing and helicopter surveillance; and mounted cameras.

Additionally we have special arrangements with the Mexican and Latin American governments aimed at stopping terrorists. Our objective is to catch them before they get within a hundred miles of our border.

There has not been one single case of a person confirmed to be a terrorist sneaking across the Southern border.

Where did you get this "open border" BS?

[Netizen]

BROWNSVILLE - New intelligence gathered along Texas' border indicates al-Qaida and other possible terrorist groups may be trying to enter the United States through Mexico, according to several Democratic lawmakers.

Good thing they mentioned that it was Democrats saying this, otherwise I suspect Bush would get blamed for using 'scare tactics'.

Time to start paying a bounty of $1000/head for illegal aliens trying to cross the border. That would put the kibosh on that noise tout suite.

Not only that, but it would create a huge job market IN Mexico. After they catch them, they can turn them over to the US for further questioning and collect their money.

(This map is outdated. More Mosque's have sprung up across the U.S. since this map was made).
