CNN ^ | 4-12-2005

All FReepers intersted in the important issue of border security please watch CNN at 6 PM EDT for this special report:

Join us for our special report "Broken Borders." The Mexican army is reportedly helping illegal immigrants cross the U.S. border by steering them away from the Minuteman Project patrols. We'll investigate. And, Texas Rep. Michael McCaul is leading a fight to strengthen border security. He joins us.

Lou Dobbs has been much more pro-active in reporting on this issue than anyone on Fox.

I wouldn't call our Borders "Broken." Abandoned might be a better word for the state of the borders

[cripplecreek]

Too bad CNN was silent on the issue for the entire duration of the Clinton administration.

[kingattax]

regardless of what it's called....it needs to be fixed- NOW

[ACDSWIZ]

Not going to happen. Follow the money.

[kingattax]

"follow the money"...isn't that always what it is ?

[hosepipe]

I would appreciate knowing... WHY.?.

G.W. Bush is contributing to the dumbing down of America by encouraging massive illegal immigration, on PURPOSE"..

[kingattax]

i haven't found a whole lot to agree with Lou Dobbs about, but he is right on target about border security.

Is Lou Dobbs a Conservative or a Liberal? I've only seen him a few times, so I don't know. But I do know he's been doing this Broken Borders segment for a long time.

Dobbs has been in the MSM for over 10 years.

I've been reading the U. S. Constitution, and cannot figure out something. How is it that we are being invaded on our southern border, and there are almost no members of Congress who are opposing this? There are maybe a handful who are vocal. What am I not getting?

The Constitution is being trampled upon. Congress, do something!

in 2 national elections i have worked for, raised money for, contributed to, voted for, and supported George Bush in every way... but on THIS issue, the president's response has me really PO'ed. is 'cheap labor' and it's myriad and expensive collateral problems worth ignoring a SERIOUS national security concern ?

great post

[kingattax]

Rep.Michael McCaul--"last year there was an estimated 3 million illegal immigrants that came into this country, thats enough to fill the city of Dallas"

Too bad CNN was silent on the issue for the entire duration of the Clinton administration.

Yep, you can bet if a dem wins in 08 the problem will be suddenly fixed.

[combat_boots]

6000 per day is what folks around these parts have as a number.

[Boondock_Saint]

I know it's not saying much, but Dobbs is the best thing on CNN.

Thanks for the pic, I always get a kick out of it. Every morning when i see my neighbors dog drop a deuce in my yard i think about the fence on the Israel/Syrian border.

Thats definitely something you can put up then walk away from for a while.
