US, Canada and Mexico rollout border plans

What is the point of pandering to hispanics? Unless we control our borders we don't have a country. Citizens of this country must take off the blinders, we are approaching a point similar to Lexington-Concord. I believe we will let our liberty slip away, it is too uncomfortable to upset the status quo. Yes, I am wearing a three cornered tin foil hat.

Either that or we will Balkanize, Yugoslavia on steroids. I do think and wonder if the tin-foilers are right on some things.

Bad news bump.

Trusted traveler programs enable people who provide biometric personal data -- like fingerprints or iris scans -- pay a fee and submit to background checks to use special travel lanes at border crossings.

All border crossers are created equal. Some border crossers are more equal than others...

Put me in charge and I will cut down the illegals(Mexico side) to a trickle.

15ft electrical fence on the outside. 20ft concrete wall in the middle(100 yards from each electrical fence.) Claymore mines littered throughout.

It appears to me that you want them to have unfettered access.

I once suggested something similar to my father and I added, "we can also dump radioactive waste there too." He had a huge grin and added, "good idea, at least we can see them glow at night." B-)

If you have requested to be removed or added from/to this list, my apologies. I have received the requests but I am unable to access my updated copy due to Microsoft difficulties.

It's simply a measure to increase security.

Horse$hit. It's government control of your movements. Worse, the United States will be forced to accept MEXICO'S opinion of who constitutes a "trusted traveller"!

Internal passport anyone?

[La Enchiladita]

"Trusted Traveler" = an icky euphemism that translates into the "toe in the door" to the North American Union or whatever other euphemism they have for it.

[La Enchiladita]

Thanks, B4Ranch. I got run off a Jessica Simpson thread because I said she seemed to be on drugs. That really got some freepers in a twist.

The red meat is here, with the real issues.

Currently, the U.S. and Canada have two pilot projects for frequent cross-border travelers: NEXUS for airline passengers and FAST for land crossings. The plan is to extend this to maritime passengers (dubbed the SENTRI program) and to have all three "trusted traveler" programs cover all three North American countries.

It's not only puzzling, but is directly contradictory. How can we ask our troops to come home to this..?

I was thinking that yesterday. How shameful that we put them in harms way, and make them sacrifice for an ideal that cannot exist in the America that is taking shape under "free trade".

It is truly shameful.

Perhaps an email to LouDobbs@cnn.com expressing this would be an idea.

Just saw on MSNBC where a mom is pissed because the us gov showed on her caller id when a recruiter called her 16 year old daughter without fully identifying himself. Offering her perks to quit school, get a GED, Blah blah. Woman said that a police officer cannot talk to a minor without parental presence and permission, then why can the goverment military recruiters discuss careers with a minor without parental permission?

Found out there's a federal law that schools have to provide recruiters with home information on High School seniors.

"Internal passport anyone? "

Isn't that exactly what the anti-immigrants want? Military troops with checkpoints saying "Papers please"?

[hedgetrimmer]

No its what the "free traders" want. You see, they want everyone in the hemisphere to take advantage of America, but they still want the American citizen to support them with their taxes and lives in the US military. That would be the only reason for the "papers".

Notice that "papers" weren't needed until the globalist "free traders" corrupted our government.

>>The red meat is here, with the real issues.<<

But this is ugly red meat and you won't smile for hours.

My wife and my kids are what can bring the quickest smile to my face today. It is because of them that I read this ugly stuff. I want to know what is out there and how to protect them from reality crashing their dreams.

[hershey]

Exactly right, and with no input, vote, or even discussion allowed....let alone information. Notice the euphemism of the day for illegal aliens by the millions pouring over the border: 'trusted travelers'. Is smoke coming out of your ears yet?

[judgeandjury]

Are you talking about anti-immigrants, anti-illegal immigrants, or both? If a foreigner is a legal immigrant, then he has our permission to come to the United States. Why would anybody have a problem with that? Also, any foreigner who legally comes to the United States is already required to show his "Papers please" when he arrives here.
