You forgot one :
Rule 8 - Border Crossing Facilitators shall provide milk and cookies to Honored Visitors.

Maybe that's why thousands of PA's are applying to be Skymarshals....

I have heard of these rules from a family member on the border Patrol there..

It's time to build an exact copy of the Berlin Wall on our Southern border. End of problem.

Is the IRS that gracious to native-born Americans? NO.

My elderly native-born mother was hassled by the IRS in one of their snafus - with them sending her dun letters demanding immediate payment of $700+ back taxes it claimed she owed, or else it might even criminally prosecute her. Taken to the tax lawyer who did our taxes (former IRS guy), he realized it was an error, called local IRS "problems resolution office" that admitted she never owed it and said they'd tell IRS's collections people to quit hassling her - but that inside-IRS problems would keep her getting dun letters for months and to ignore them. (Eventually the dun letters did stop.) That's how "her" government treated a native-born American middle-class woman.

Wonder why I don't sympathize at all with Washington in its current plight?

Those rules must have been made by the liberals in California. I don't know the exact rules in Texas, but when we head north after visiting our daughter in Harlingen, we go through a check-point in the middle of the King Ranch area.

This must be a good 45 minutes from the border, and each vehicle is looked in for illegals, and they have drug dogs. I assume every highway has a check-point. There are many INS - SUV's, and I've seen them all over down there. Many Illegals have died trying to walk through the King-Ranch area.

Ye gods! Two of my cousins (brothers) are USBP out of Nogales. Are the regs different between states? If so, I really hope Arizona has more sense than CA does! >:p
