The bad guys won't hit colonias. Once a bug is out of the bag it'll hit everywhere. The areas with the least sanitation and most overcrowding will get hit the worst. No question about it. This will make it more difficult to fight.

The question is...why aren't we sending them home, and why are we continuing to pay for them here? Lots of us would like to know the answer to that question. If there were no incentive to Mexicans to come here, any people traffic from Mexico would be easier to stop and more likely to be with bad intent. Either drug traffickers or terrorists. When 10K people/day arrive it's difficult to determine the needle from the haystack. If only 100 people/day arrived, the likelihood that one of them would be a bad guy would increase exponentially.

Why do you think there has been little effort to a. send them home and b. stop their getting welfare/foodstamps/etc here? Inquiring minds/etc...

I think if biologicals or other dangerous materials are brought over, they won't even end up along the border. They can easily use the same routes as the drug cartels do for cocaine delivery, actually most cocaine ends up far from the border --once they have it over the border, it can be anywhere within hours.

Their incentive to come is certainly not just the few hundred bucks a month in food stamps they find when they get there.

The incentive to come is that even when they do end up on welfare, that is 3 orders of magnitude better than they get at home. The incentive is our wealth and our better living. The solution to people wanting to be here is not higher walls and attack dogs. The problem simply will not go away until Mexico enters the 20th century.

Well, I need to give up on this subject for awhile. Prayers that our guys catch this known threat at least.... The guys we were lookin' for at the start of the thread.
