This way to the invasion.

[SouthTexas]

The welcome mats are now rolled out to the world.

Thanks.

[madison10]

Mandarin Chinese?! Why? Now Arabic I could understand...

[NormsRevenge]

Nothing like being the world’s doormat for wandering souls.

[shadeaud]

building a swamp would be a lot cheaper and more efficient

[bgill]

Let’s see we already have watering stations in case they get thirsty and the courts give away citizens’ land and free health and education to them so why not have a I’m-tired-of-walking-so-give-me-a-ride button. They should be demanding stalls put up along the way to pass out Twinkies.

[SouthTexas]

The One is trying to bring us tax relief.

[bgill]

The beacons have instructions in English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, ...

Not Arabic? That's discrimination!

[Flycatcher]

And on a completely unrelated note, American tourists carrying a lot of cash are now required to wear a vest with a bullseye on it when shopping in Mexico City...

[Responsibility2nd]

Do Gooder groups have been doing doing a similar type thing for years.

They will leave water and supplies out in the middle of nowhere - where illegals are passing through.

Humanitarian? Maybe. While it has saved lives, it also send a message back to the thousands yet to cross that the US is welcoming them to come on over....

[hinckley buzzard]

Silly me--just had a flash of "pushing the red button" and the whole thing blowing up.

Calderon can’t even keep his own military in line. The people he has fighting the drug cartels ARE the drug cartels!

[NormsRevenge]

Meeep Meeeep

[ken21]

if you need help,

dial the white house.

[NormsRevenge]

Calderon is in a tough spot.

I wish them and us well.

[Migraine]

Now Arabic I could understand...

...and now I'm suspicious of you (just kiddin').

Seriously, though -- why don't we install some beacons that lead into quicksand, or over a cliff, you know, neuter the whole beacon setup so no one trusts it?

[pnh102]

Landmines would be far more effective. But we need more future Democrat voters, so we’ll just put these up instead.

[AuntB]

“The beacons have instructions in English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, ...”

Oh, brother! So, DHS is fully aware how many Chinese are crossing that southern border, aren’t they?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Can you image the Romans putting up milestones on the Appian Way in Gothic, Hun and Carthaginian?
