Maybe, Texas is pro gainful employment and self sufficiency, and Mexican-Americans fit that description.

I don't know if Texas is pro Irony, however your question may apply that way, too.

You gonna be that cock-sure about it you’d best cite chapter and verse.

CA has “Agricultural” check-points on all highway entries into the state that impose a “barrier” to entry under defined conditions.

TX is imposing a barrier to entry under a defined condition.

Frankly, I think you’re both just jaw-jackin’ but you’re free to prove me wrong.

Calif can srop produce not people at its checkpoints. I’ve driven through them. And the ummunities and privileges clause arises from the EXPLICIT right of travel written into The Articles of Confederation.

Um, what’d I do to get drawn into this? I just pointed out that the state of Texas can’t use land mines. If for no other reason than the National Firearms Act of 1934, which basically says Texas can’t have them without Fed permission for each and every one.

Ahhhh, yes. That was my mistake. You responded seriously to an unserious post about placing mines. So then I mistakenly thought you were actually addressing the topic of this entire thread: putting concertina wire along a stretch of the TX/NM border, and — here we are.

[sigh] That’s the trouble with the internet, these days; can’t tell the serious from the unserious; never quite sure if someone’s being sarcastic, or if they really think they’re onto something.

My old school gut says the comment about placing land mines was unserious, but — ya never quite know, anymore. So, I guess I understand how you got roped into replying as if they were serious.

You are, indeed, correct about the legal technicalities of placing land mines. I’ve no idea why anyone would even suggest it other than in the vein of dark humor.

The people being stopped by the concertina wire are not Citizens — they enjoy neither Constitutional protections, nor does the Bill of Rights apply to them in the lest degree.

Citizens are not being unconstitutionally impeded because the wire is not being emplaced across routes of regular travel.

Actually, I think the other guy was serious about mines.

But yeah, I was only responding to the mines bit. I’m fine with the concertina wire in vast quantities being used to funnel would-be entrants to entry ports.

“Actually, I think the other guy was serious about mines.”

I get it.

Time was we’d have all chuckled knowing it wasn’t a serious suggestion, and moved on with the conversation.

Now...?

Decades ago when I was a school kid, somebody’d do something ya didn’t like, COMMONLY you’d say “Dude! I’m gonna KILL you.”

It was that way for a decade or more.
Nobody actually killed anybody.
Everyone knew it was just an expression of irritation.
And half the time the guy saying it was trying not to laugh about the situation.

Now we’re all trained like chimps to take every little thing seriously. You say, “Dude. I’m gonna KILL you” these days and the cell phones come out, and people start recording, and somebody’s dialing 9-1-1....

It’s unsustainably CRAZY; civilized society simply CANNOT continue to function under such an overwrought psychological burden.

Part of the problem was that after they emptied out and closed the asylums, the former inmates had kids and raised them poorly… leading to a lot of people actually going ahead and actually attempting to kill people after saying such things.

I had thought of the same thing, but you don’t want to make the job of Border Patrol agents even more hazardous than it already is.

Snipers! (concerned citizens who remain anonymous, shoot Coyotes and then skedaddle).

I am not limited to a regular route if I decide to go to New Jersey. I can hike through Sterling Forest to reach South Geenwood Lake in Jersey.

The NM governor is an open kill-the-white-people leftist.

Signed an order depriving lawful gunowers the right to carry their weapons to protect criminals.

That’s the same level understanding of the Constitution as John Roberts’ has of Article II Section 1

Concertina wire works for military because it is backed up by bullets, else you can just throw an old carpet on it and cross or better yet just wait until the Feds cut it for you.
