Turned the border region into a military exercise training area.
You can count on BOR to make an abrupt about face right about the time something is going to get done.
Perry the weakest candidate in 2012 now says “Mr Pres call out the guard!!” the guard is controlled by the governor doesn’t anyone remember the botched response to Katrina by their gov? Bush had to wait on her, so what is Perry waiting for? He can have guard exercises or guard emergency actions. Lets see if he still all hat and no cattle.
Any number of viable solutions exist. The simple fact is the the President and his party WANT this to go on as they see this as long term benefit to themselves as do a lot of so-called Republicans.
To be honest I have never heard O’Reilly calling for us to militarize the borders and I’m pretty sure he is against it as I remember him saying he wants more of a presence there but not to attack illegals but just report it to current border patrol which to me is laughable.
soetoro is an enemy islamist who instigated this, and views the resulting chaos as a positive for his, and islamism's benefit, to the ultimate detriment of America.
Place a string of Brigade size military bases along the length of the border. Erect high observation towers with the latest personnel detection devices. Use motorized hunter patrols to sweep the area at unscheduled times. Designate an area as a detention compound and place all detainees in confinement NLT one week for processing, and return them to their countries of origin with a bill for expenses. OMG!! That’s really cruel and racist of me isn’t it? I haven’t come up with an idea for the 3K+ miles of the Canadian border or the coastal ones yet, but I’m sure you will.
Call up and deploy National Guard to the borders
Or you could use the tactic the Turks used in during the Korean war to keep thieves off their base: erect a fence consisting of a single strand of barbed wire 6” high.
US forces used layers of barbed wire, guard dogs, machine gun posts, mines etc, things still disappeared on post.
When something went missing, Turks marched into the nearest town, found the oldest woman, tied her to a post, called out the entire village to watch, then skinned her alive. Done once, no thievery.
Or you could carpet bomb a one mile strip along the entire US-Mex border on the Mex side with cluster bombs.
Point is that nothing really works until one proves he means business by making an example.
My understanding is that this problem is in the Rio Grande Valley. It’s not across the whole border. That means Obama needs to mobilize the assets of the federal government to deal with this “invasion” in this one area.
The federal government has a tremendous number of employees. It has a tremendous number of law enforcement employees. Our VA hospital has federal law enforcement. Our Social Security office has federal law enforcement. How many US Marshall’s and deputies do we have?
Obama is incompetent, but he already has the resources to solve this. He just isn’t using them.
What I don’t get is why Fox decided to hire Howard Kurtz as he is an all out liberal but I guess they think he is fair and balanced? I just heard him using the liberal tactic of calling the illegal cockroaches “unaccompanied minors”. Pretty sad when the only network that is supposed to be fair and balanced using liberal-speak terminology
First there must be agreement on the objective before potential solutions can be evaluated.
MY “Objectives” are:
Have a secure border and manage an effective LEGAL immigration system.
The solutions for achieving those objectives are very straight forward and start with a fence.
Obama’s objectives are:
The destruction of America through excessive financial burden and an eternally dependent voter base.
So, his solution is to undermine all existing laws and enable the illegal immigration to the maximum extent possible.
The problem is not how to solve the problem. The problem is the deliberate creation of what looks like a problem but is actually a planned invasion. So the problem is the planners and that plan. Until that is solved, any other “solutions” to “problems” will be rapidly thwarted.
Wouldn’t make a huge difference with the current “children’s crusade” assault on our border. What’s the NG going to do, shoot the kids? No, and those who surrendered to them would be passed on to the BP and processed as they are now.
We need a freakin’ WALL, and we need it NOW!
