Regarding national security, I think there's a lot more activity going on than we ever hear about by the CIA, NSA, and FBI to catch actual terrorists near the border, both here and in Mexico. I would bet that there's much more surveillance of the border area happening than we ever hear about from the media. That's a deliberate strategy to prevent counter-measures by terrorists.

You're funny.

I live on the border. I live in the county in Arizona that has become the most popular crossing point for criminal invaders to break and enter our nation. There's no extra surveillance. You need to see things for yourself to understand. A group here smuggled simulated WMDs across the border fence, on foot to the highway miles away, and then all the way to the Federal Building in downtown Tucson, AZ. They've done this several times to prove a point. Maybe if they'd shot up a flare and used loudspeakers to announce what they were doing, someone might have heard them and the Border Patrol may have stopped them.

OMG! I NEVER heard this!

OK, I suggest that this be done again...this time have is filmed by sympathetic media types, and I don't mean Hannity...he might tip off the Admin.

I suggest the set off fireworks and flares as the simulated WMDs! And do have the bullhorns blaring, and have pics of Al Qaeda types, the pic I have on my homepage of La Raza meeting Arafag in 1990, Ted Kennedy, John McStain, Kolbe,Reid, Dean, Pelosi, Boxer, and GWB there to show just WHO is responsible for this! Hell, bring the Minutemen in to say had there been PROPER border watching, this wouldn't have happened! Then they can publicly castigate GWB for his "Vigilante" comments, and publicly DEMAND apologies!

If I weren't crippled and in NH, I'd do this myself!
