Our borders are sieves and nobody Dem/Rep seems to be doing anything about it!......
A NC immigration thread..... time for an anecdote.
I was taveling to Spruce Pine NC, deep in the mountains and nowhere near a well beaten path, when I happened on a mountainside covered with fir trees.... a christmas tree palntation. At the bottom were four obviously hispanic men operating a strange looking machine. I watched a while and continued on my way.
On the return, I stopped again with a better vantage and could see they were removing christmas trees from a wagon, running them through the machine that enveloped them in a plastic net sleeve, and loading them on a flat bed trailer.
Here I was, miles away from a town of any size, deep in the mountains watching Mexican laborers processing christmas trees for the masses in some far away city.
A man came over, a white man, and asked if he could be of service. I told him no, I was watching his operation and crop harvesting machinery. He laughed and said the workers feared I was INS.
For the record. the Christmas tree farming is a positive result of the NC State University Ag School as oposed to the negative result being the undesirable candidate for vice president who graduating from a technical college ended up a plaintiff's lawyer.
Lax border security and regulation not only facilitates terrorist infiltration, it has also directly contributed to American deaths with the importation of disease contaminated foods.
