" A small number of AC-130's on alert status can fix this. What are the Mexicans going to do about it? I'm also sick of it. It's time to be a "bully"."

We can do this cheaper. The AC-130's are needed overseas. We simply should mine the border region with numerous warning signs in the uninhabited areas. Once a few smugglers and illegals were blown to smithereens, that would end the border crossings quickly.

First question: how are you going to plant said mines QUICKLY?

Second question: after the inevitable "blue-on-blue" mining incident, how are you going to sustain the program? The one thing you can be sure of is that, for various reasons, some of the warning signs are going to disappear.

Third question: after the local criminal element digs up a few mines and starts using them for criminal activities, how are you going to sustain the program?

Fourth question: now that you've made seaborne smuggling of illegal aliens economically profitable...how are you going to stop the illegal aliens?

I was just being mad and blowing off steam anyway. Mines are too indescriminate. On the other hand, if Mex's gonna come over on this side of the border, they should face a bit of a threat, like AC-130's. I don't think it would take much more than a few warning shots to discourage them. Especially if our Border Patrol, INS and State Department just said NO. AC-130's just stirring up some dust, sending a message. Just a dream though, ain't gonna happen...or will it? Maybe it will. Just a little message.
