many people are disgusted with Bush and the repubs for essentially ignoring this INVASION. yes, INVASION. what else can you call it ? they better wake up
Anyone want to start a pool on how many posts will pass before racism and Arizona politico's are brought into this thread?
I say by #10.
Tax them for everyone we catch. Good idea!
The "anchor baby" thing should be ceased immediately. It should be considered breaking of ANOTHER immigration law - that should then cause the baby to be considered a citizen of its mothers country.
The Nixon Administration started searching everyone and everything comming in legally as part of the 'War on Drugs' they said.
They knew it would have no effect on drug smuggling, but they also knew that the resulting slowdown of legal crossings, lines were hours long, would create economic chaos in Mexico and force them to cooperate in spraying the drug fields in the interior.
If we were to get strict at the legal crossing points in searching for illegals and drugs, the ecoonomic chaos would force Mexico to act and patrol their own borders within days, in return for our reopening the legal crossings.

All illegal MALES should be sent to a “work camp” in the national forests.
They could be used to clear out the brush in the REMOTE forests where there are no towns near by. They should live in tents and work for six months each time they are caught crossing the border illegally.
You should probably not phrase it this way, given that the 14th Amendment specifically forbade anchor babies and was then re-interpreted by activist courts. Such a Constitutional limitation is not subject to change by the Congress either because the Supreme Law of the Land holds that children of foreign subjects are not citizens.
ping yer list?
Thanks Billybob, got your email with this same info on it today, I'm forwarding it to everyone I know, hope that's ok.
President Bush has falsely applied the word "vigilantes" to the Minutemen. The President's use of this word gave the American press license to slander these American citizen-volunteers likewise. Again, anyone who knows their history knows this word does not apply.
Maybe it's the name ... "Minutemen" implies guns and shooting, a la Lexington and Concord, not just standing about with cell phones.
Would not fly, the howls of the left would be heard on the moon.
Slavery,
I'm all for it, just as I am for putting prisoners to work on cleaning roads etc.
I'm concerned that our government is simply not interested in any such thing.
The move towards regional integration seems to be pushing this lack of concern for our border security, and to hell with the citizens of America.
After all, why waste time money and resources protecting something you plan to dismantle?
Don't forget that our own EEOC won't allow an employer to fire a worker with a phony SSAN..this keeps a lot of illegals here. What a pain in the butt.
Racism is relative, as in the mind of the beholder. I don't believe we would feel any different about this invasion if it were by the same caliber, Canadians of European ancestry.
Another elegant and factual article Billybob. Thanks for posting it.
In my opinion, those who choose to call the Minutemen, Vigilantes, do so to demonize and discredit them-period.
Interesting article...thanks for sharing it.
You may find this speech, "Eight Steps to Destroy America", by Dick Lamm, former Governor of Colorado, interesting. It can be found at:

I would be interested in your opinion of the speech since I have read some unflattering articles about Lamm.
