I was just floored when I heard where the "vigilante" comment occurred and wasn't sure if others knew.

I wasn't quite that floored, being from Texas, having been acutely aware of the history of the border region (because of my family's history) and where it's headed, I've seen this coming.

The groundwork was being laid even before President Bush was Governor Bush, although he was certainly buddy-buddy with his Mexican counterparts back then.

Even the passport thing with Canada and Mexico - that's a bone they tossed the people worried about national security (and those requirements will be dropped in a few years if nothing happens). When you have so many Republicans in Congress who support CFR, etc., it's not hard to see that the GOP is being aggressive in going after certain portions of the population.

Ask yourself this - is the GOP willing to take the chance that nothing will come of having unsecure borders, in order to gain more Hispanic votes (and thereby win more elections in the future).

I agree. Who can assure us that the next "Mohammad Atta" hasn't already crossed our southern border to set up a terror cell that will make 9/11 a postnote in history. What's the point of screening visitors to our country who use mass transit to get in when half a million illegals cross our borders every year??!!!
