and how many will stay here once they are in? i dont think the USA needs help from Mexico, but then again, i guess its less of our tax dollars going to something that isnt in the constitution
I heard on the radio they're supposed to be "unarmed" but, I have to say, I don't believe a single word of that claim.
Not a good idea.
Brilliant, instead of using the debit cards to calm the refugees, lets make them wait a couple of weeks till the hunger really builds and then turn them loose to buy weapons and steal the alcohol and tobacco instead of just letting them buy it.
If we just gave the debit cards to all commers, there would be fraud, but it would be cheaper than the results of making them wait 2 weeks.
Even the law abiding can get rebellious after 3 weeks of near captivity.

Donations of men or materiel.... should be accepted graciously in the spirit of the offer.
Any good help should be, and is, appreciated.
Thanks Mister Fox.
Four years ago I got slammed here for seriously stating that the only way to resolve the illegal immigrant problem would be to annex Mexico as our 51st state.
Now, I have to think that we must annex them before events annex us.
Well, Mexico is 'integrating' with the US. Fox and his ministers have said so.
Mexico considers the US the golden goose. Of course they want the remittances to keep flowing. But with friends like that, who needs enemies?
Even Mexican soldiers?
I knew illegal immigration was going out of control!
Among the 190 some participants in the convoy are doctors, nurses and engineers.And, when it's time to go home, how many of these will "disappear" into our country?
"Mexican President Vicente Fox brushed aside complaints from some opponents who said he should have sought Congressional approval for the operation"
Question: Is it legal for a foreign army to go into another country without permission? Wouldn't it be an act of war?

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The trucks, carrying 195 unarmed soldiers, officers and specialists, were expected to arrive in Laredo, Texas, sometime early Thursday, the president's office said. From there they are to proceed to Houston, where they will apparently be used to produce water and hot meals.
The convoy included two mobile kitchens that can feed 7,000 people each per day, three flatbed trucks carrying mobile water treatment plants, and 15 trailers of bottled water, blankets and applesauce.
It also includes military engineers, doctors and nurses."

Biloxi, Miss. -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "There are worries, too, about those who may not have survived the storm. Mexico has opened two mobile consulates in the affected areas, one in Mobile, Ala., and the other in Baton Rouge, La., to begin looking for tens of? thousands of its citizens reported missing. The authorities in Mexico estimated that 145,000 Mexicans live in the area. There also are an estimated 130,000 Hondurans."
Anyone remember the movie 'Viva Max'?

Help is appreciated, in spite of other issues with Mexico.
That sounds like 35 trucks that need a good going over by drug sniffing dogs.
