Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is under pressure to beef up border security in the Southwest in the wake of Saturday's killing of a rancher in southeastern Arizona.
Three members of New Mexico's congressional delegation have asked for an increase in the Border Patrol's presence in the Boot Heel of New Mexico, about 10 miles from where the rancher was shot to death over the weekend. U.S. Sens. Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall, along with Rep. Harry Teague, say Napolitano's agency needs to take more security steps.
And former Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, an outspoken opponent of illegal immigration, called on Napolitano to "reject politics and do the right thing" by dispatching the National Guard to the Arizona border.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
All of the above.
What does Nappy care? She used to be Governor of AZ, and she knows wayyyy more about it than us serfs.
Our border was violated. Our country invaded and one of our citizens was murdered by an invader. Our worthless excuse of a leader just stopped building the fence on our southern border. This death is on his watch and the blood is on his hands. All invaders should now be considered as armed and dangerous. Teas just sent their national guard choppers to the border. It looks like Arizona needs to do the same.
Stop the invasion now!!!!! Stop it before more of our citizens are killed!!!!! Stop the invasion before the blood bath moves north!!!!!
Me, too.
Although, I still vote for the moat filled with piranhas, electric eels, and salties.
Don’t worry, Nappy is keeping us safe from the dangerous Canadians.
They also need to deport EVERY single illegal that is picked up for whatever reason, no questions asked.
Almost, unless they are wanted for some crime. Then they need to be dumped on some barren island off the coast of Alaska or put in Alcatraz for keeps.
You know, I bet most of us here can identify with this rancher, salt of the earth, work a day guy, who was murdered despite being a compassionate soul.
We must keep in mind that he is the latest casualty of illegal INVADER violence perpetrated against citizens of the US and nothing concrete has been done to stop it. The FED threatens and harasses Sheriff Arpaio for taking the tough and RIGHT stand against the issue. I have a feeling that history books will have him saying at one point, “I told you this was happening, would continue to happen and now the blood of thousands are on your hands despite you sitting on them.”
The Feds don't need to provide border security. Leave it up to the Texas State Militia and the Arizona Sherrifs Departments. Soon there won't be one illegal alien who raises his head above the elevation of three feet at the border who won't have someone from Arizona or Texas reach out and touch 'em.
About 6 months of that and we won't have an illegal alien problem.
Put these every 100ft:
Dig a 20ft wide water moat along the base, and stock with these:
And have a mini, ultra swift and portable version of these at every post tower:
I’m sick and tired of our gov’t taking away our freedoms but denying us security...security, the thing they are SUPPOSED to provide.
They serve themselves, nothing more.
Thanks

She won’t do a thing. This administrations ultimate goal is to destroy this country as quickly as possible and the more chaos, the better.
WE need to treat all violent criminals the same. We have a lot of ships sitting in mothballs. Send them off shore a hundred miles and blow up anything that gets near them. Give them all the guns and ammo they want but only half the food they need. Things will take care of themselves.
