Bush, Frist, etc are a bunch of limp wieners on immigration.
It is time to quite playing games with my daughter's future. I am not raising her to speak mexican, damnit.

That's just because they are a handful of people. If there were more, many more... They had 1000-1500 signed up. This was for the entire month of April. It is a good bet that many did not show up or sign up due to the negative publicity that began before April 1. With President Bush referring to them as vigilantes prior to the start of the project, what should we expect?

I love this president, but I desperately wish that he would get as tough on all of these illegals, as he was on the Taliban and Saddam's rotten regime! I feel the same way...on both counts. Also, thanks for the GREAT picture!

With President Bush referring to them as vigilantes prior to the start of the project, what should we expect? He is just one opinion although the chief administrator. We all have equal authority in matters of opinion. When enough members of our democracy speak up he will come around.

"I love this president, but I desperately wish that he would get as tough on all of these illegals, as he was on the Taliban and Saddam's rotten regime!
What is killing me is that I know in my heart that he is equipped with the necessary strength and resolve to get real with this immense danger to America....and so I'm floored at his inattention to such danger. Just can't understand his thinking on this one topic....which actually is part and parcel of the entire War on Terror, or it certainly should be.
As another poster just said, "Securing the borders (and ports, I might add) should have been the first thing that was done, right after 9/11." All border crossings should have been suspended immediately until "further notice." Period.
We had the manpower then, and we have it now....to fortify our borders, both north and south. The president should simply issue the order!
Roger Hedgecock was subbing for Rush this morning, and he made a point of saying that if the CIC gave the order to the air training base at Yuma, AZ, to secure that base, it would be done inside of one hour or less. Why not the entire length of both borders? If we have the amazing logistics to move men and materiel from bases all over the U.S. to the Persian Gulf...........150,000 in 2003 and 250,000 in Desert Storm, then we can militarize our borders.............and, excuse me, but to he$$ with Vicente Fox's objections.

There may be a few jerks who might think that the photos of the Salvatrucha MS-13 terrorists were only examples of the very worse that comes across the border. Here's what all of them leave behind on ranches and Fed. Park land. Even the environmentalists hate this part of the illegal movement. . . . and mind you, this garbage is all over the border invasion lands - our lands! Our American land!

I am afraid it will take another terrorist attack,Na! How many terrorist attacks have we already had? How many were supposedly thwarted by our expensive intelligence? How many non-Mexicans have been reported coming across the border? The government doesn't care about this issue. If Big Brother was ever going to care, there's plenty of reasons already. One more attack will be just another attack. Perhaps I am more pessimistic than you are. :-(

Maybe so.... I tell you this: Big Brother will care when the next attack comes, if proven via Mexico, when hundreds of thousands of armed and angry citizens converge on the border.

=== If a few civilians in lawn chairs with binoculars cause such an uproar, what would happen if one hundred-thousand armed Americans stood border watch? Minuteman mania? Methinks they protesteth too much.
Uh, sorry ... those aren't the sort of Volunteers we're looking for where the Army of One (World) is concerned.
I'm surprised he didn't call them insurgents. That's what they are, after all.

This is a very comprehensive article. The author covers all the bases on this issue. However, lots of Americans (and I have said this before) find this an emotionally charged issue. Many of us are third or fourth generation American as it is. Our families came here and were made to prove that they were not criminals, were not infirm, and had a home and job were waiting for them. Otherwise, they were sent back. Descendants of these immigrants feel badly demanding a curtailment of immigration to this country. However, if the government would just enforce the same rigorous and fair standards for all immigrants as they did for our grandparents, maybe the looming civil strife in the US over this will be averted. I do see continued and vicious civil discord over immigration which will rival or perhaps surpass the kind of events and animosity which Americans endured during the Civil Rights confrontations in the 1960's and which unscrupulous politicians in this country continue to cultivate and to perpetuate by any means in order to garner votes among minorities and.p>

It wouldn't hurt to add photos of unsanitary sanitary products for impact...
Two of the 17 or so pics in this photo montage give that impact.
