Such practical solutions as physically sealing the border with Mexico are not conducive to winning the presidency

The one-party system that runs this country would never allow a candidate like that to get in a position to prevail.

But I believe a majority of the American people would support sealing the border.

There are hundreds of spots just like it all over this county. Be glad you can't smell it. Every clump of brush or fold in the ground that offers concealment ends up just like this. Note the absence of porta-potties as well.

The tree huggers do nothing. They do not so much as whimper or even try to clean up the mess. The clean up gets done by neighborhood or corporate volunteer groups. Our government does nothing, but in a show of official largesse provides official trash bags -- in fact, they get snippy if you use unofficial trash bags.

Once bagged, the garbage has to be taken to the dump which is forty to fifty miles away. Admission is not free.

Soooo, how do we alert Sierra Club, Greenpeace,etc about this gross pollution? I'm serious! Why should us "despoilers of their earth" have to clean up this crap?

Oh yeah, bet it smells like hell. This could be an interesting project for an enterprising individual. Contact enviromental activists and ask them what they plan to do about this problem. Hahahahaha!!! Then publish the results...

Seriously, this sucks.

I thank you for bearing with me while I attempt to get the facts on exactly what is happening here.

Needless to say, if these chargess are true, my perception of this administration is going to change dramatically.

In my mind, the headlines of all newspapers, and all news media "talking heads" should be screaming about this.

Rep. Tancredo learned that the Mexican Army and Law Enforcement Agencies routinely make "incursions" into the U.S.

I'd like to see the President do this, mayhaps would open his eyes to the reality of what he wants to 'doom' us to

I sadly think he knows but will not act to stop it. If he does not then we have to ask why?

Mexico would never have dared do something like this when Eisenhower was president. Back then sovereignty had meaning.

Yeah, that could be too, but surely not the only reason for 115 incidents in the last 8 years. Some of these have to be planned actions.

Yes, some are. Like I said, they're escorting drug smugglers in those cases.

Also, a 'Nam vet FReepmailed me and reminded me that when they were shooting at Mr. Charles, or the PAVN, his unit didn't exactly stop at the Cambodian border--if the enemy went across and was still shooting, the CO said "hot pursuit" and continued mission. Some of the Zapatista terrorists are US citizens. (Ready for a real shocker? Some of them are Anglos--they're "Red Diaper Babies" a la Lori Berenson).

Hmmm....sue the Southwest Center for Bio-Dumbness for inactive activism? Is there even such a thing in environmental law?

I don't know if you've been following this weeks news about the border area --- more proof that Mexican military and police are heavily involved with drug smuggling, torture and murder.

Newest police crime scandal rocks Mexico: Juarez lawmen linked to bodies in back yard

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1068668/posts

Involvement of corrupt police and military units in the lucrative narcotics trade has been a long-standing problem in Mexico.

Successive presidential administrations have for more than a decade routinely purged and reorganized the federal police force, to little avail. Macedo announced earlier this week that another purge of some 900 federal agents was under way.

Similar crackdowns have roiled Mexico's army and navy with about the same results. And state and local police in drug-producing or border states, and along the corridors through which Colombian cocaine is smuggled, are often found to be in the pay of traffickers.

'I don't know if you've been following this weeks news about the border area --- more proof that Mexican military and police are heavily involved with drug smuggling, torture and murder."

I appreciate the thought, and information.

I have been "educating" myself on this, and must say it is discouraging, to say the least.

We are dying from a thousand cuts.
