BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, Texas (AP) -- The bloody drug war in Mexico shows no sign of relenting. Neither do calls for tighter border security amid rising fears of spillover violence.
This hardly seems a time the U.S. would be willing to allow people to cross the border legally from Mexico without a customs officer in sight. But in this rugged, remote West Texas terrain where wading across the shallow Rio Grande undetected is all too easy, federal authorities are touting a proposal to open an unmanned port of entry as a security upgrade.
By the spring, kiosks could open up in Big Bend National Park allowing people from the tiny Mexican town of Boquillas del Carmen to scan their identity documents and talk to a customs officer in another location, at least 100 miles away.

We already have one at the Northwest Angle in Minnesota.

Good post there (1 comment up) potlatch
James Dean has joined the “Texas TEA” Party and is campaigning to defeat the golfer -
Dean is now ranked the 18th best actor

“Chump”?? Not a very classy response to a poster that does not share your point of view.
You should have replied to that one, I scrolled up and it was my own post, lol. I’m sick of seeing false things posted. People read here and even FReepers take things for the truth without checking on the facts.
I notice that a couple of people, who were chided on other posts- have calmed way down on that kind of stuff.
I can’t imagine Dean being picked as a top actor. How many movies did he make? It’s probably more of an infatuation, like Obama got from his voters.
It’s 9:30 already!
And I’d like to be the next guy in line, so that when they ignore you, I can verbally bitch slap them.
I for one hope he runs against Perry a straight shooter against a ..............(not sure what word to use)
Pandering to the illegal vote. obama to drug smugglers-”Want to get drugs into the US without ANY chance of getting caught? Just go to this checkpoint.”
I refer to actual experience with the location.
You've been there? You know the country?
What is the factual basis for your assertion? And the accompanying insult?
.
Yeah - I know
I had somebody go bonkers on a thread after I exactly “cut & pasted his/her words”
Then I typed in a famous quote from Karl Marx
Soon I was accused of calling somebody a communist and that I could not ever read or comprehend what he/she had typed
Instantly several “revised and extended” versions were appearing - “forced” became “market forces” and other alleged “edits”
I guess that poster could not figure out how to activate the “edit” button on FR
It’s not the end of the world if you make a post that is obviously whacky - in this case “force” was written as to the government pulling another illegal GM/Chrysler firing and takeover deal - except it referred to getting rid of all healthcare insurance - and mandating that all physicians and hospital must accept only what a person could afford
That would work out as well as LBJ’s “Great Society” scam has
Having more than a little experience with the insurance business - and healthcare insurance - a suggestion that a government could ban or otherwise terminate a legal business appeared strange
- Yet that is exactly what Hussein Junior and his Chi-Town thugs have been doing - and are ready to shift in overdrive
Finally - the ever-popular name calling of an obscenity appeared
That always get the person doing so - an extra 100 IQ points - elevating them from primate to the Alfred Einstein level

(Alfred was Albert’s alleged “funny” uncle from Yonkers)

Been down there multiple time over several years. The evidence is there, on the river.
Why don’t you tell us how much security there is in the park, and outside the park leading into the USA and major highways in Texas?
.
Sometimes it is better to laugh and walk on by -
.
So have I. What "evidence" do you refer to?
Why don’t you tell us how much security there is in the park, and outside the park leading into the USA and major highways in Texas?
You tell me. You know better, remember?
Often it is the best thing to do devolve. I try not to let haters get me down but it isn’t easy on Perry threads. I’ve found that the worst of them never reply if you call them on it. That’s why they ping a bunch of friends to begin with, lol.
You obviously don’t have much knowledge of the area. The river area around Boquillas and Lajitas are filled up with vehicle trails that the parks people don’t acknowledge and will not patrol.
There is one border check point outside of the park leading to major highways within Texas, and that one is easily walked around.
Good enough for you?
Your posts has to be one the most ignorant, naive Pollyanna comments I've read on Free Republic, in the past 13 years here.
I wish that open border troll would get the zot.

Scroll on down

Others really need to see the degree of ignorance here of those who are actually allowed to vote.
The parade of open borders apologist, and those who attempt to minimize or discredit this epic violent and costly invasion, need to be exposed.
