Tim Mullins, a New Mexico GOP congressional nominee, said in a radio interview last month that placing landmines on the border might be an effective way to secure the border.
Before he won the Republican primary on June 1, Tim Mullins told a correspondent for KNMX radio that the United States could mine the border and put up barbed wire with signs that redirected people to checkpoints, the Associated Press reports.
"We could put land mines along the border. I know it sounds crazy. We could put up signs in 23 different languages if necessary," Mullins said., arguing that the porous state of the border facilitates the easy entry of terrorists into the country.
Mullins, who is facing incumbent Democratic Rep. Ben Ray Luján in the general election in November, told the AP on Monday he doesn't actually think land mines should be installed on the border. "I am not suggesting we do that," he said.

You have a good point -
the “American demographic” isn’t having enough children to perpetuate our society and culture.
Don’t blame me, though, I’m doing my part.
No problem. Obama is producing a tidal wave of people who have lost their jobs.
How are we going to pay for it
I will gladly pay for one land mine myself.Or 100 rounds of ammo of your choice.
A general solution is too expensive .
A specific solution is better. Shoot 500 random illegal crossers and the traffic will slow. Shoot 1,000 and it will cease.
Legal niceties should not matter. If the law can be ignored for the oil gusher, the law should be ignored for the people gusher.
Landmines machine guns and dogs...you betcha’!
So I’m confused here. Is he for it or not?
“Never met a racist land mine.”
They don’t do “profiling” either. Completely un-biased.
Why do they want to come here? In a short time, we will be the same third world/third rate toilet they are leaving!
NM list PING!
(The NM list is available on my FR homepage for anyone to use. Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
i like land mines and/or deadly forces. a great wall of usa would be a waste, like the berlin wall without guards/guns/landmines.
Or you do put up signs...in Finnish and Urdu. See, you are showing that you are bilingual...
All we have to do is build a decent barrier fence, it worked
for Israel!
>Where are we going to get all the man power to support this venture?
We have high unemployment...
>How are we going to pay for it?
We could allow people to bring their own weapons and ammo; that would surely reduce costs.
How about rebuilding the Berlin Wall on our southern border?
I think the number of people making it across to West Berlin without looking like Swiss cheese was less than 100 in 30 years.
You can’t argue with success...
Claymores are cool, but I’d prefer Bouncing Betty’s!
Holy Toledo! I wonder if the MSM will pick this up?
“”Claymores are cool, but Id prefer Bouncing Bettys!””
The guy has backed off but it sounds like a fantastic idea and one that should have been put in place many, many years ago....
Ping!
Attention-grabber...
