Your links are very good. I had not read them. Thanks.
Here is a link to info about the man that was our Sheriff on the border, a fine man and a great Sheriff. He tried to get attention to the border problems years ago. He is now the Chief of Police for the town of Playas, the Homeland Security training town. Bill is a friend of ours and has been frustrated by the border issues for a long time. He tried to form a border Sheriff's coaliton years ago, but I guess he was ahead of his time.
Thanks for the links, hope you enjoy this one.
