I've read about how they have citizens who patrol around Douglas and I ran into one Sunday. The Gestapo wanted to know what I was doing there and why. He didn't get an answer. He stopped 4 vehicles that I saw.

JMO, these people intimidate more people than they help. I have that opinion of the BP too. If they were out there doing their job they wouldn't have to harass American citizens constantly. I have been harasssed by these bullies more than once because I live near the border although they leave me completely alone since some rookie pulled his gun on me. BTW, I'm a 100 lb, blond, American woman who has never been in any trouble with the law.

I don't know what the answer is but vigilantism isn't it.

Well, looks like passage of Prop. 200 has given us our opportunity to take a place on the national stage. Hopefully our Congresscritters are listening. But I'm not relying on just this, the letters are still being sent to Kolbe, Kyl, and Rino McCain.

Proposition 200, a measure to tighten up enforcement of existing laws relating to illegal immigration, passed with 56 percent of the vote. It requires that someone provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote and valid ID when voting or applying for public benefits.

It's disheartening that a full 44% of the electorate thinks - or "feels," I should say - otherwise. (Kerry received around 44% of the vote in AZ, not coincidentally). Only hopeless socialists or illegal aliens themselves would be against providing proof of citizenship and valid ID when voting or applying for public benefits.

Isn't it interesting how we're now seeing some mainstream publications and commentators have become suddenly aware of the illegal immigration problem? Their silence over this issue has been deafening despite the displeasure voiced by Americans across the country the last few years over this issue. The lack of media attention to this situation has allowed a number of problems to fester under the radar screen for the vast majority of American taxpayers, some of whom are in a football-Kobe-M. Stewart-S. Peterson induced stupor and in the meantime giving cover to politicians bent on sacrificing our sovereignty on the altar of open borders/ free trade / FTAA.

Its a natl issue; not a state issue at this time.

The point wuz if the demoncraps were in agreement
wrt/ something needing to be done re the illegal
immigration, ie, a bipartisan approach, then
somethign would likely get done. The Dems
however believe that flooding the country w/ immigrants,
legal or otherwise, is their ticket to coninued
power. And they may be right esp as 2010 demographics
look to be favoring a transfer of EVs to the
south and maybe the western areas as well as house reps.

Last time I checked, the Republicans where the majority party in Texas. Why are they allowing this to happen?

See #10. This bull sh*t don't fly anymore.

No it isn't, but that's what you end up with when government officials won't enforce the law.

Yep, I'm a bit surprised that the "neocon" Rich Lowry/NRO expressed these thoughts in public.

Maybe, given that GBush had fairly solid, widespread support among Hispanics.

Bull sh*t. The Republican are as responsible as the leftist for this never ending flood of lawlessness.

If these folks are looking for illegals,it sounds like they just wanted a closer look. ;)

What are you saying? Bush has wide spread support of criminal illegal aliens? Are you referring to American citizens? If so, that aint the issue here Fred.
