We should give them amnesty, citizenship, welfare dollars, health care, education, and a place setting at the White House dinner table. Maybe then they will stop bombing our national landmarks, and vote for Bush.

Importing hundreds of Iraqi operatives over the Mexican border seems like a real smart move by Saddam. It's the only way available to him to bring the war to us, once it starts.

Almost immediately after his release, Tajirian began building his smuggling network, prosecutors said.

Let subsequent smugglers die resisting arrest.

This may come back to bite Bush in the *ss.

Why should the politicians in the ivory hotel worry about the peasants down below? They're rich and live in gated communities and send their children to private schools.

Some 99.9 percent of the 1.64 million undocumented immigrants detained at the southwest border last year were from Mexico and 16 other Latin countries.

That still leaves 1640 (approximately) from non-Hispanic countries. And these are just the ones who were detained. What about the ones who slipped through? According to some reports, for every detainee between 4 and 10 slip through undetained. That could increase that 1640 number up to 16,400.

The primary breach in the US/Mexican border through which all the illegals, drug smugglers, and potential terrorists are coming is in Arizona - Cochise County, Arizona to be specific. This area has been "represented" by RINO Rep. Jim Kolbe for 18 years. In that 18 years the border problem has become exponentially worse under his "representation".

Last week, RINO Kolbe visited his district and held a few Town Halls. Residents here soundly blasted him for his refusal to do anything about the border and his terrible voting record on the issue. Kolbe, himself, characterized the Town Halls as "contentious" because of the loudly expressed dissatisfaction with his "representation".

Those shouting Kolbe down had good reason to - just take a look at his voting record on the border issue:

March 2002 - RINO Kolbe voted with 182 Democrats (almost all of them) and against 123 Republicans for the Section 245(i) Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. This action excused the criminal status of hundreds of thousands (possibly up to 2 million) of illegal aliens in this country. It rewarded them for their illegal border crossing and it even excused them from the normal U.S. Embassy security screening in their home countries to become American citizens. Don't you think this rewarding if illegal border crossers is going to encourage more people to violate our borders and pour into our country illegally? Isn't this going to make the problem worse? This is not the first time the RINO Kolbe has voted to extend 245(i) amnesty to illegals.

September 2001 - After the September 11th attacks, one of the most obvious, necessary actions that needed to be taken was to secure our borders. RINO Kolbe voted against 191 Republicans and with 147 Democrats against an Amendment to HR2586 which would have authorized the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury to request that members of the Armed Forces assist the INS with border control duties. This is not the first time that Kolbe voted with the Democrats to keep the military from protecting our borders - see May 2000.

May 2000 - RINO Kolbe voted against 184 Republicans and with 151 Democrats against an amendment to HR4205 which would have authorized the Secretary of Defense to assign, under certain circumstances, members of the Armed Forces to assist the INS with border control duties.

A couple of weeks ago, RINO Kolbe announced his support for a measure that would create a new kind of student visa. This new visa would allow even "non-academic students" to come in to the country - "non-academic" as in flight school students.

It is clear that it is time for Kolbe to go. The good news is that he is being challenged in the Primary Elections in September by a true Republican who's primary focus is securing our border. Jim Behnke, a pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, conservative candidate is a decorated Viet Nam War veteran, a retired Lt. Colonel, an ordained Lutheran minister, and a father of two. This means that Republicans will now have an opportunity to get rid of the RINO that has been misrepresenting them in Washington and elect a true, conservative Republican.

When 500,000 aliens crossed into another country they used to call it things like "invasion" or even "blitzkrieg." We are not only at war, we are being invaded, and government policy prohibits talking about it.

Would this be the same Fox News that reported that Al Qaeda was somehow behind the Worldcom fiasco?

Fox News isn't a real News Channel - they just play one on TV.

It's estimated that 500,000 of unknown national origin have crossed over the border with Mexico since 9-11-01.

Earth to Homeland defense!

Bu-bu-but Mexico is our FRIEND and partner! We need to embrace each other or we'll be called RACISTS! ~sarcasm off~

500,000 middle easterners since 911? Maybe hundreds not 500,000. Fox better check its pulse. Its creditability is begining to suffer. The problem with Fox is it’s a talk station not a news station. With exception of Special Report with Brit Hume. That is the only valid news program Fox has. The rest of it is babble.
