A fence is worthless without armed men to stop it from being destroyed.But a fence is still useful;troops used concertina wire to slow the hostiles so they can then be shot.It is difficult to do much when you are entangled in barb or razor wire.

OK, so the only thing that really changes is that he can’t build a wall.

So all he has to do is field his 6,000 mean and his UV’s and win the war single handedly.

Wonder how many deputies he actually has? Maybe 150 or so?

Most of the rural sheriff departments operate with a pretty small crew.

When will folks stop giving this administration the benefit of the doubt?

Obama has no interest in “fixing” anything in America.
His only goal is to buy as many votes as possible, so as to implement and maintain his socialist agenda.

"if we have a border-long minefield, a lot less men would be needed."

Indeed, and the coyotes can clean up the mess.

"What the hell are you talking about? All of the sheriffs in the border counties of Az are doing their job. They are out manned and out gunned by the smugglers. Have you not been paying attention? The border sheriffs have all been screaming about this. Babeu has been front and center on this issue from day one. He has had deputies shot by these animals. He needs the damn federal govt to start doing it’s job."

Hope you don't mind, but your response was so perfect, I just wanted to repost it.

Yep, it’s his administration and the Dems that want those votes.

Paul Babeu, the sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, says give him half an hour, and he could tell President Obama how to secure the U.S. border with Mexico.
“We need 6, 000 armed soldiers,” Babeu said.”

I can do it in under 30 seconds:
Dozen rednecks, 24 cases of beer, $2.00 bounty per ear.

I just looked up the department numbers.

The county is divided into three regions, A, B and C.

48 men with 12 supervisors in A. 37 men and 1 super in B and not posted for C.

It would stand to reason that C would have something like 40 men so his total force including supervisors would be 140 men and women.

With that mighty force, he is supposed to whip all of the banditos in Mexico when even the Mexican army can’t do it.

You just have to feel sorry for the sheriff. He has a hell of a job and no support.

I wonder what would happen if the sheriffs along the border would deputize every able bodied man and woman in their jurisdictions and get donations for some sort of .50 caliber weapon for each deputy....

And turn them loose to clean the place up.

And, the 340,000 citizens of Pinal County can foot the bill for the whole country!

Sheriff Arpaio in Maricopa County is fighting the battle and the “powers that be” are trying to bring him down with all kinds of investigations.

I think there is just too much drug money for bribes for Arizona to last much longer.

This is terrible. However, there is light at the end of this very long and very dark tunnel: we only have to tolerate this for two more years. No matter who is elected in 2012, he or she will close the borders.

...if we have a border-long minefield, a lot less men would be needed.

Careful! A couple of years ago I advocated mining the border and was threatened with banning or suspension by a Mod for doing so.

They seem to work well in Turkey,Greece,ROK,and Israel.
(Saw it 1st-hand while stationed on the DMZ.)

I guess they’re all ‘uncivilized’ nations.

This is not a new problem. The GOP had all 3 Houses for several years. What did they do? Not much. One of the many reasons I do not call myself Republican anymore. (I call myself “a limited-government independent”.)

Babeu lamented the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent on Tuesday at the hands of “bandits” – illegal aliens in the U.S. who steal from cartel members who sneak drugs into the United States.

LOL. The state run media described the killers as 'bandits who prey on illegal aliens'.

Its safest to assume they are always lying, any occasional truth telling on their part must be unintentional.

It's criminal that Obama and Napolitano ignore Sheriffs that are in the middle of the fight to protect Americans.

Obama and Napolitano are continuing the Bush policy.
