Wholeheartedly agree with you - we should be using force with these s.o.b.'s. Our so-called border policy drives me absolutely insane. Not only should we have our military on the border, but walls should be built, and repeat transgressors imprisoned. And we should also be going after those damn drug cartels - another obscenity. It's too bad that we didn't realize how valuable oil would be, or we probably would have kept going further south and taken over most, if not all, of central and northern Mexico.

We've gone to war twice now in the Persian Gulf and keep a military presence there because of the potential huge economic problems which could result. With the amount of illegals crossing the border, taking jobs, driving up health care costs, etc., they must be costing our economy tens of billions of dollars a year. Why is that not the equivalent of some dictator taking over a bunch of oil fields (other atrocities notwithstanding)?

This farce has gone on long enough. Bush should tell Fox to shape up, or their ass will be kicked. Of course, now that the Republicans need to play racial politics themselves (lost the blacks, but getting the hispanics looks good), this won't happen. Story never changes, folks: kiss up to bad people, and bad things will eventually befall you. No different here.

Amen but you're preaching to the choir. Bush HAS to know the extent of damage the GATT and NAFTA treaties have wrought.
I formally call for a steel-cage match, their boy versus ours. If Fox wins we continue the treaties. If Bush wins the military seal the border.
If it were that simple.
