Your ignorance is legion. The Mexican government has breached our border and fired upon our officers numerous times. You choose to believe Janet Napolitano... telling in itself... when it comes to our security. Amazing you are in your ignorance.
Your entire response is a non-sequitor. It has no bearing on the discussion of the comment to which you are responding, and your conclusions are fabricated and without foundation.
I’ve never said anything to suggest there aren’t firefights on our border. And I’ve said that our border agents should have the right to fire back, here and also in other threads on the topic. I certainly don’t believe Janet, nor did I say anything in this thread that could lead a sane person to believe that. The comment you are responding to was about whether Mexico shoots illegals who cross their border — and my links show conclusively that this is not their policy.
Arguing that Mexico is much stricter about illegals in their country isn’t germaine to the discussion, I don’t dispute it as I actually provided links PROVING it; but it doesn’t show that they shoot illegals, and it doesn’t justify us shooting illegals for simply crossing the border.
Our border security is problematic. Perry is fighting the war on his own, without federal assistance, in his state. HIS troopers are being fired upon. He has to spend his state’s tax dollars trying to save our country from border incursions. He’s the only person running for President who has actually secured a border, and it’s ludicrous for him to be attacked as an “open borders” candidate.
I’ve always been for securing the border. I simply don’t support the lunacy of killing people for crossing the border.
