DHS Appropriations Bill Changes Related to RINO Kolbe's anti-Checkpoint Language

With 20 million illegals in the country, your checkpoints seem to be letting a few slip by.

Talk about non-sequiturs.

Tell ya what, you go ahead and be the expert on Texas, and you let Spiff and I be the experts on Cochise County, ok? No one of us should be trying to be otherwise.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but can't you see how silly you sound?

If we could just get Prop 200 passed they would all leave.

If we could just get a permanent checkpoint, we could catch them all.

If we could just get Graf elected, he would stop them.

Silly? I don't believe I've ever said that one measure will be the do-all, end-all for illegal immigration. In fact, I usually suggest multi-faceted solutions to the problem.

For example, check my tagline. There're two facets right there.

I also support employer santions. There's a third.

You even admit in your reply #9 that Kolbe's constituents have a problem with bypassing illegals but you discount it by calling them "fat cat doners"

I said, and I quote, "fat cat developers and donors". The misspelling is entirely yours, Einstein.

I also never said they had a problem with illegals bypassing the checkpoints, you made that up completely. The problem that the fat cat developers have is that they'll sell people on a piece of land and a new home in the Green Valley area, but when those people travel north and have to go through a checkpoint they start asking questions. Questions like, "Is there a problem with illegal aliens around here? Isn't the border secure? Do they make it this far north?" and such and many will back out of the deal once they're fully informed about the awful situation here. The checkpoints make it very difficult for the developers to sweep the problem under the rug - and difficult for Kolbe to keep the problem away from the public eye. The fact that he's "served" in Congress for 20 years and in that time his district has become the worst along the border for border intrusion problems is hard for him to cover up if he's got permanently manned checkpoints throughout his district.
