will be staffed by INM agents

[Plumrodimus]

And of course for their drug-running police and soldiers to use as sniper towers.

I say, throw some laxatives into the water towers....instead of Montezuma's Revenge it'll be "Jim Bowie's Revenge" ;)

[Brownie74]

I demand to know if the water used in these towers is some of the water that they owe us but can't repay. Or, are they going to have to mooch water from us to fill the towers? [/sarcasm]

I remember Daniel Pipes saying the US is not realizing it has been at war with the muslim world ever since the invasion of the US embassy in Iran and the subsequent hostage crisis. This jurisdictional violation, in the name of Allah, under muslim jurisdiction, we did not take seriously.

With the raising of those water towers to encourage migration and trespass on US soil, we might as well say that we are at war with Mexico, yet we have not a clue about it. When are the sheeple going to wake up? Is Bush an unconscious robot of feelings and compassion, or is he a thinking man who knows the truth and recognize the existence of truth and the US constitution?

Thirsty migrants who go to the towers for help will be sent back into Mexico after being provided with water.

Unless of course the Mexican "guards", like the French police, just don't show up for work.

All freight trains heading across Europe towards the Channel Tunnel were banned from France yesterday in the face of mounting chaos caused by illegal immigrants bent on reaching Britain.

The move came after a weekend when none of the extra police that the French had promised would guard the Frethun marshalling yards outside Calais reported for duty.

Why don't we just take over Mexico, and add the few extra states? Clean the place up a bit, add a little infrastructure, some manufacturing etc. A new tax base. It's the Capitalist thing to do. While were at it, do Cuba as well.

[FITZ]

If Mexico cared anything at all about these people, if President Fox had an ounce of sincerity, they'd use that money instead to get irrigation water to these people's farms, get started on changing conditions in Mexico, changing laws etc to help them to stay in their own country.

[FITZ]

I think it's going to have to come to that. The Mexican politicians are nothing but a bunch of corrupt clowns.

[John O]

Anyone coming over illegally should be considered a possible terrorist and shot

Anyone coming over illegally IS a terrorist

God Save America (Please)

I agree, after all they attacked us first (spanish American war) and we beat them then. I'll never understand why we didn't annex both territories back then. Stupid mistake

Of course the peoples of those territories will not have voting rights until the present generation and it's children die off.

God Save America (Please)

Could be a good test for the Crusader!!

Just read this today: Border Patrol Agent says he was fired on in U.S. side of border by Mexican soldiers...

All they have to do is allow freedom, real freedom. The immigration flow would be reversed.

That's very true. Maybe not their lazy welfare seekers who still will come to the US to get in on the freebies we so eaily hand out but the certain percent of illegals who really are hard-working would rather be that for their own homes and lands if it was at all possible. Our government shouldn't let the Mexican government keep it's corrupt ways which forces those people out.

Interesting concept. It would also apply to most of the rest of the world. What would you suggest as a way to "not let them"?

[Clovis_Skeptic]

I think it's going to have to come to that. The Mexican politicians are nothing but a bunch of corrupt clowns.

...mmmmh...that sound familiar, what other country have I heard of with corrupt politician clowns...it's name is right on the tip of my tongue....mmmm????

[mhking]

Let'em - what they do on their side of the border is their own business. Now on the other hand, we got no business building anything on our side of the border. If they are dumb enough to wander out into the desert with no water, that's their own fault...

I defend their constitutional right to be stupid.
