A farmers wife who is concerned for her husband's safety wrote the following: (I do know this lady. She is a retired school teacher)
I am so concerned. Twice now in the past six months Bruce and our men have been plowing in Batesville and have personally witnessed illegals walking through the field with one of the groups wearing some kind of uniform. The first and last man of one group were carrying rifles and the six men in the middle were carrying backpacks (most likely drugs). The second group had two men with rifles and three men with backpacks . Of course, Bruce and our guys did not approach them. It would be NO PROBLEM to bring in any nuclear, biological or bomb device across the border. There have been many other groups spotted throughout the year.
Our border patrol work hard but they cannot keep up. The border runners are getting too smart. Out of fear, we no longer work at night when we get behind in our work. These guys are getting rides somewhere and going on into Texas and other parts of the US . Pickup sites have usually been plastic bags or a milk jug hanging on a fence post. We don't worry so much about the hard working guys coming over. We understand their desire for work, but we are scared to death of the drug pushers and the OTMs (other than Mexicans) that are pouring over the border. The government could stop this............they just will not.
Our American kids and families are being destroyed because of all the drugs. Parents should be OUTRAGED. Cities should be concerned about bombs and other devices. One of these days, the bad guys are going to get it right again. But you know, the general public believes if it doesn't hit in their backyard why should they be concerned? We can control our Canadian border so why can't we control our southern borders? Saving grace with Mexico is not as important as saving American lives and families.........You know, if everybody played by the rules, we would all get along. This idea is universal. It is the one thing that all people of the world understand.........or at least most of them. I truly wish our politicians could understand this.
I don't see Perry doing much until after his election in November.
Probably not. No one will. It’s gotten too far.
This border thing is far worse then anything right now.
We have no protection. The government is useless.
There is so much going on, we’ll never go back
to what we once were. We’ve been sold out.
