I believe there are more illegal aliens coming into Ariz. than anywhere else.

The border is becoming more violent everyday in the Arizona desert. The Border Patrol needs more help and this action by the Minuteman Project is already bearing fruit. Tomorrow there will be an additional 150 Border Patrolman on the border and another 350 will be there in a few months.

I understand Mr. Bush is in a catch 22 but with this pressure he was able to re-enforce the Border Patrol.

The Minuteman Project, a group that organizes volunteer civilian patrols on the Arizona/Mexico border to report illegal immigrant crossings to the Border Patrol, couldn’t possibly have taken the Bush administration by surprise.

Then he's had his head in the sand.

This border issue is unreal.

Fox News did a documentary interviewing a Border Patrol man and his wife (last year), who live in a trailer right on this side of the fence.  They are BEGGING for our government to send help down to them, ANY kind of help.  Even if is our  National Guards.

Night after night, the Border patrol and his wife wearing night goggles take pictures for proof.  Thousands are coming across in hordes.  And that IS night after night. Fox News even showed the video tapes that the Border and his wife have been  taking of these people jumping the fence and running.

The Fox Newsman (I forget his name.  He has the gray hair, is tall, thin with a long thin face), spent the night with this couple, also using night goggles to watch for himself.

The next morning, they walked about the yard.  She said that they are NOT all Mexican's.  That they have found the books of the Koran and prayer rugs dropped in haste as the people jumped the fence and ran on into our Country.

She showed the rugs and the books to the Fox Newsman.  It was horrifying. 

What with all the Mosque's in our Country, what better shelter for the terrorists to find shelter?  They are here, people.  Scattered all over the United States.

Here is an updated map of where all the Mosque's are.  Look and weep for our Country.

Congressman refuses to probe illegal alien
terrorist cell in his own district

January 28, 2005 - Despite widespread news reports linking Moroccan Muslims to worldwide terrorism, Florida Congressman Ric Keller (R-8-FL) has declined to call for a formal FBI or Government Accounting Office (GAO) investigation of Orlando Homeland Security official Mary Schneider's concrete evidence of green card bribery of immigration officials by illegal Moroccan Muslims linked to a terrorist cell in Keller's central Florida congressional district--the hub of Sunshine State tourism and airline traffic.

Our interview with the Orlando immigration adjudication officer revealed that Keller, who is a member of the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security told Mary Schneider "your problem is not a matter within the purview of a federal agency." Full Story

"It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain,and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims..."

Feds Worry Over Al-Qaeda Use of Mexican Border

 

"New intelligence information strongly suggests that Al Qaeda has considered infiltrating the United States through the Mexican border, top government officials told Congress on Wednesday," according to the AP. "In his written testimony, Admiral Loy cited recent information from investigations and detentions as the basis for his concern about the Mexican border. He added, "Several Al Qaeda leaders believe operatives can pay their way into the country through Mexico and also believe illegal entry is more advantageous than legal entry for operational security reasons."http://www.steinreport.com/

Time magazine quote:
“The number of illegal aliens flooding into the US this year will total 3 million - enough to fill 22,000 Boeing 727-700 airliners, or 60 flights every day for a year.”

I'm not up on all the details on this, so I've got to ask: What's the catch 22 that President Bush is in regarding sealing the border?

The map is great. But I think NJ should get some discredit as well. After all it was our lax policies that gave Id's to the 9/11 hijackers.

Without a doubt.  They are moving in faster then the map can be kept updated.

TERM LIMITS would fix most of our weak leadership problems

I have done nothing but cry since Fox News broke Terri's death at 10 to 10 est this morning.  I must get my mind off of this if I am to continue my day.  It's been a long two weeks for all of us.

thanks for trying to educate me. I'm not a very worthy student.

I still don't understand what free trade NAFTA etal have to do with securing our borders? This is where President Bush's actions or the lack thereof disappoint me.

Your empathy for Terri is admirable. I think the borders issue is even more important, like thousands of Terri crises every day.

Has anyone seen a map of Canada? It may be interesting to see how many are hiding up there while we are distracted by the southern border.

It's hard to kiss Vinny Fox's ass, and keep the borders secured at the same time.
