If Bush doesn't do something about our southern border I will not vote for him,no matter how well the war goes.

Is it the Hispanic votes that he is looking for? Is it all political? I don't get it!

Muslim terrorists are al over South America so why shouldn't they be in Mexico? They are operating in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela, etc. Anyone can get to Mexico through Cuba (yes, still!) and of course, there are the myriad number of ways through Central America.

Venezuela is a huge base for their activities and sanctioned by the government there in the form of Fidel Jr. who is running things. Get to Venezuela, buy a Mexican passport and what's to stop you from going to Mexico and then across?

Maybe a concerted effort to protect that border is in order finally...

A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security said he had no information on the al Qaeda members who are attempting to enter the country.

If we have another terrorist attack in the country I wonder if he'll repeat that statement?

I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but two times yesterday in our local area (So Cal suburb) I saw about 10 police car surrounding (and blocking) cars that had been pulled over.

Usually a traffic stop for one car will involve two, three sometime even four cars. These were real shows of force that had traffic on the surface streets where it happened shut down.

What was odd is that I saw it twice on my drive home from work about 3 miles apart.

the arizona-mexico border is easily infiltrated...

Close the border with guardsmen for now, then build a modern sensor equipped, military patroled, razor wire barricade. Humvees and helicopter gunships should do the trick, let the drug runners and their Mexican military friends try to make armed incursions then.
