Sounds like a classic case of stupidity piled on stupidity. Do ranchers further north get into this sort of problem? If not, then perhaps it's better to move up north and worry more about your livestock than getting your pound of (human) flesh.

Somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 illegals cross the border each night. The ranchers next to the border are caught in a continuous stream of illegal aliens. The federal government is responsible for controlling the border, but they do a damn poor job of it.

I moved from San Diego to Pocatello, Idaho. I'm very familiar with the transition that occurred as I lived in San Diego from 1961 to 2001. I had intended to retire in the house that I owned in Mira Mesa from 1983 to 2001. I changed my mind as the lightly used Mira Mesa Blvd turned to gridlock from 6 AM to 9 AM and again from 4 PM to 7:30 PM Monday through Friday. Graffitti appeared. Drive by shootings started. A Mexican woman rented the house next door to mine and turned it into a daycare center from 5:30 AM to 6:30 PM M-F. It was decorated like a hovel in the outskirts of Tijuana. My evening walks had to be stopped as a group of gang bangers set up shop on my regular path.

My new location is about 5% hispanic. Mostly farm workers. There are a few gang bangers, but most of them try to hide out on the local Shoshone/Bannock reservation where the "wannabe" gang bangers idolize a genuine transplant from the Los Angeles gangs. The Mexican drug runners are well established in Ogden, Utah (about 150 miles south). They are the principal suppliers to the local drug dealers...most of whom are hispanic. Relocation only changed the percentage of the population, but not their behavior. Our local police department arrests lots of drug dealers. Most of them are illegal aliens from Mexico.

Moving 905 miles north just put me in a house 3x the size and escaped the endless drone of anti-gun bills. My cost of living is lower. I still have to wait for a seat at a decent restaurant if I go at 6 PM. We need more restaurants. The main road through town, Yellowstone Avenue, looks much like Mira Mesa Blvd from 5 to 7 PM. We've outgrown our street capacity. At least it isn't over my back fence.

Purely yours, piled on top of a big fat heap of '60's liberalism and wrapped in a Libertarian tortilla.

Do you understand the concept of private property? The constitutional principle of providing for a common defense? Rule of law? Sovereignty?

I'm about 1,700 miles North of the border. Yet, I've had thousands of dollars of agricultural losses to criminal alien Mexicans. Exactly HOW f'n far North would you advise I move, Your Majesty? Ellsmere Island, perhaps? If I go MUCH further North, I'll BE in Canada!

Sheesh, I feel like such a moron. Here I am, trying to reason with a troll!

Yes!
