How can it be called a WAR if we are not shooting back at the one shooting at us? If we are allowing an invasion where we do not fight back? This is not a war. This is allowing our country and our people to be targets. The U.S. is sin verguenza.

Lavoyger Durham, manager of the El Tule Ranch in South Texas, about 75 miles north of the border, said between 200 and 300 immigrants move across his ranch property each night.

"Immigrants?!" Is that what he calls them? What has he done about this? What can he do about it?

Going to Washington with this stuff is to invite humiliation... GRRRRRRRR....... This is bad.

My son thinks that there should be automated machine gun bunkers, with visual surveillance cameras, installed every 50 yards along the border. These guns could be operated remotely from home computers. People from anywhere in the country could pay a fee for, say, a half-hour opportunity to monitor a stretch of the border. They would also be on-line to aim and fire their machine gun remotely from the comfort of their homes.

It would be a great way for people to have fun while protecting the borders AND I bet it would raise a lot of revenue. People would probably wait in line for hours for the opportunity to play, at least during the first couple of weeks. (The "action" would probably diminish greatly after that as fewer and fewer targets would come into view.)

We gotta get rid of these idiots. I think we might have a good shot at bumping off Carter Casteel (Major RINO) this time around.

The incumbent is well backed, seems qualified, and claims he'll take a strong stance on securing the border. Hope he means it.

WTH's W waiting for on this!



He's trying to secure a deal with a Mexican company owned by the Mexican government to enforce our immigration laws. Apparently, no one wants to do the job here and they can do it much cheaper. It's all part of the new global economy. Yeah, Yemen and Iran already guard our border with Canada. China and Russia are protecting the Pacific for us. And we leased a consortium of Liberian/Nigerian navy ships to patrol the Atlantic. Finally, the UK has given Somolian pirates access to Diego Garcia in a new strategy, apporved by their courts and not their Parliament, to patrol the Indian Ocean on the cheap.

It's a great plan. I hear no one disobeys laws because everyone involved makes enormous amounts of tax money.

Post #25 is intended as a parody of the UAE situation, as seen through a different context--namely running our borders.

The way I hear it, the US Border Patrol said it didn't sign off on it, then after someone got hold of them, they released a document this week saying the deal was great for America. Safest, most effective form of protection for our borders against illegal aliens is to use Mexicans. Anyone against the idea is no doubt a racist and too stupid to understand the complexities of today's world. (Sarcasm still on)

I wouldn't say it's a virtual war zone. I think it's more aptly named a politically correct zone. The Border Patrol has poor mangement. If I were in charge. One of the first things that I would do is employ SRT to kill any Mexicans shooting at US officers. Instead of Using BORTAC to train SA or Iraqi nationals I would employ them covertly on the border in Mexico so that Border Patrol agents could kill assaultive drug smugglers with extreme prejudice. Any vehicle observed crossing the international boundary that failed to yield would be spiked, pitted and/or shot up regardless of the load. Every Border patrol agent would be required to check out their assigned M-4 with a combat load of ammo. Native Spanish speakers would no longer be required to take Spanish at the academy. They would have to learn Arabic, Portuguese or Chinese.

All the OTMs.

Time to free up some jail spaced so that OTM's especially not from the Americas can be held for deportation, instead of being given a parole.

Suggest releasing a lot of Americans held on minor drug charges or personal use, especially concerning marijuana. Which is more dangerous, a few potheads and guys selling to their friends, or unsupervised potential terrorists, generally from the Middle East?

"How danged dumb can you be....?"

I'll tell you. Bush just said his visit to India would open up a 300 million man market - if we can make a product at a price Indians can afford. Question is, the value of a rupee to a dollar is what, Mr President? How many of the 300 million have TEN rupee to their name?

Of course, the real "trade" is for America's international corporations to tap further into the cheap labor, like Union Carbide did in the 80's.

His administration's true dumbness is displayed in believing the average US citizen is as dumb as a rock.

"...Throwing a burning rock at an armed man just does not seem very bright."

But it DOES demonstrate their utter contempt for American law and it's protectors.

Matt, you, and I, and a number of others, have been beating on this drum since what seems like the Dawn of Time.

My own state is taking a "better late than never" approach:

Georgia panel OKs crackdown on illegals--It is about time Georgia made these changes. It took the virtual demise of the Georgia Democrat party in Georgia.

We'll see.

It seems that our toothless government would order a "shoot to kill" approach to a Molotov rock. Why weren't the uniformed men killed or captured on our side of the border, thus making identification certain? Who is running this place anyway?

If the Mexicans killed every Border Patrol Officer Bush would do nothing.

Except maybe sending Fox more of our money.

bet anything that illegals have murdered and killed more people since 9/11 than the terrorists actually killed in 9/11.

Lets start with Lee Malvo at 13 dead.

your information, read about how General George S. Patton Jr., dealt with illegals when he was a loely Lt.

He shot two of them, tied them to his hood, and brought them to Black Jack Pershing as a gift.

I don't know the BP's ROE, but I believe they would have broken them of bad habits by now if they were allowed to.

They weren't illegals. Patton was in Mexico at the time.
