Um....this is surely a joke, right?
When it comes to securing our borders, we'd be as well off trusting the French < cough >!
It's been going on for years, but how much visibility has been given to it? I am not going to apologize for Bush, though I love our current POTUS, this is a real issue for him. He needs to address it or an otherwise astonishing presidency will be tainted.
IMHO, perhaps wishful thinking, the DHS along with other alphabet government orgs. assigned to dealing with border issues is building a case for some evasive border policy.
One reason Feds are dragging their feet.

Sounds like we really do need to give our border patrol access to quick on call airstrike capabilities.
with unmanned automatic MG turrets that shoot and kill anything bigger than a Taco Bell chihuahua

Perhaps we could get individuals to put up wall to wall billboards across the border and have paintings made of the US Army, Air Force, etc in 3D...might atleast get them to stop and wonder...
Hey you can change your screen name now!
Congrats on electing Harper!
How many Texans have 50 cal. machine guns?
What's Bush's response? Amnesty.
A million thanks! There's some very happy Conservatives up here. I can't believe the turnaround from 2 years ago. There's still much work to be done as our new Gov't is only a minority in Parliament, however, this is a tremendous first step. I'm on cloud nine with my new leader. I'm so proud to call Mr. Harper my Prime Minister!
How about THIS method for border patrol???
Origionally, the video link below was posted by freeper Jeff Head on 12/01/2005, and if you haven't seen it, it is WELL worth watching to see how our troops on the "night shift" do bidness.

Hopefully, he will start getting enough pressure from the conservative base that he will no longer be able to turn a blind eye to the issue.
I'd love to have seen one of our guys accidentally fire off a shot that would have sparked that international incident they're so warned against. Then there'd be no way in hell anyone could ignore it.
Congrats!
It's good news for all of us. We're very proud of our neighbors to the North.
Why not simply have rocket launchers on hand and blow them up once they shoot at people on our side? Especially if THEY ARE ON OUR SIDE that should be done IMO.
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
I know what would happen.
The mexican army, if attacked, would claim it was an accident that they crossed the border, that they were just doing training, burn the weed, and claimed they were fired on by the US first.
The MSM would eat it up.
