Yeah, so?
The problem is we haven't treated them like an armed, invading force.
The national democrat party is a disaster on border issues.
Howard Dean is out going after Tom Tancredo and James Sensennbrenner.
Howard Dean says Gop is going to scapegoat immigrants in 06 like they scapegoated gays in the last election.
Howard Dean went after Arnold because he praised the minutemen.
There is not one democrat in the house or senate that is not for loving illegals.
;-)
Now that we have two Governors (Democrats yet already) declaring emergencies, it may be easier to get the tougher provisions of the Kyl-Cornyn Immigration Reform Bill passed.
Fox has said for years that the drug problem was one of demand and, therefore, a US problem This is the modest and belated response to such nonsense.
Fox will also claim that the terrorists and their weapons that have passed through Mexico are not his concern, either. We must SEAL THE FRIGGEN BORDER from one end to the other and then begin sending Fox's sales and delivery folks home.
Dems in the house and senate will never vote for this because it doesn't affect them and they want the illegal votes.
Dems trying to beat Repubs to the punch, because they saw in polling majority Repubs care about it, only like 2% of dems do, either way.
Hopeing to give rise to 3rd party canidates and split the Repub. vote in '06 and possibly '08.
Gosh, I sure feel fortunate that liberal politicians and illegal immigrants have no effect on me way up here in Massachusetts.
The question is getting Republicans lined up to vote for it.
The weak ones now have a couple Democrat governors declaring an emergency to point to as a way of shoring up their spines when facing their constituents who support illegal immigration.
He's protecting the $20 or $30 billion in remittances that are boosting Mexico's economy enough to keep him in office, that could be lost if the border closes.
Hate to be picky.........but if we are going to blast El Presidente, (and we should) we should get his name right.
It's VIcente..........not VINcente.
She forgot to mention highly contagious third-world diseases.
.....and Islamic terrorists, of course.
Notice that Napolitano and Richardson are Democrats. Irony, thy name is border control.

Vicente, why the hell should be respect any laws? You and yours don't respect ours.
Fox's defintion of "winning" is, well, the creation of "Aztlan."
"I am amazed."
==========================
If not, you will be . .
Misleading headline. The border has not been closed in either state. All that has been done is the Democrat governors are politically posturing to hit the Republicans in a vulnerable spot. Plus, they're getting some federal funds given to their states. The amount of money that will make it to hard hit Cochise County where I live won't even cover the annual cost of incarcerating the illegals we have to keep or for the extra law enforcement costs caused by the border invasion. It is a political stunt, nothing more.
