And now, in the "For What It's Worth" department...
There are changes here on the border, but it's looking like too little, too late. Time - and lost lives - will tell.
Beat me to it - Drudge is running the headline now. Looks like the RNC got my letter LOL.
From time to time, I’ll post or ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. Let me know if you want off my list.
ABOUT TIME.....
The "except for Mexicans" is a hole big enough through which to herd a million illegals a year.
We already have an average of one guard per 1/5th mile of Southern border, but they are spending most of their time processing people who just want to come here to do our dirtiest lowest paying jobs.
Something stinks about this story. Bush is in Vicente Fox's back pocket and has resisted any move to enforce the immigration laws or secure the borders. Fox has routinely pushed illegals across our border and has pressured Bush to pretend that we don't have a southern border.
I'm very susicious of this. I think it's a plant to make us think that the administration is actually going to do something about illegal immigration when, in fact, I don't think they are.
Hutchinson is supposed to be in CA Friday to talk about the stoppage of sweeps of Mexical illegals. We'll see what he says. But this doesn't address the Mexicans at the border, and illegals living illegally.
It is about time. One small step in a lot of steps that need to be taken to tighten the borders both by land and by sea.
Folks, I'm not sure if you realize this or not, but a number of the middle-eastern people who are coming through Mexico have been given Mexican style clothes and appear to be Mexicans. If they keep their mouths shut, who will know if they are Mexican or not? Not knowing, are we really assured they INS (or whatever) will deport those folks to the middle-east?
LOL, how gullible to they think we are? Asa still refuses to allow inland apprehensions in populated areas.
This is all about smoke and mirrors. Remember, any police department of municipality can opt out of these programs, just as LA now refuses to even ask a person's status, or take them into custody for the INS.
We have laws on the books today that are supposed to stop illegal immigration dead in it's tracks. Does it?
Asa is leading you folks down the primrose path. Don't sucker for it.
Fix illegal immigration accross the board today, and quit f---ing with us, you a--holes in D.C.

Suddenly -- Three months till the election '04 -- Homeland Security has "concerns about terrorists crossing the nation's land border"??
Are these people aware yet that Pearl Harbor has been attacked?
Ping.
This may seem like a step in the right direction but what it actually does is take away punishment for illegally crossing the border. Instead of spending time in jail they will be expedited to their country of origin. We already have something like this in place for illegals returning after deportation. Prior deports used to spend time incarcerated. Now they get no jail time unless there are mitigating factors like having numerous felonies.

That statement right there would leave out the 29 illegals found in an 18 wheeler in Fort Worth just this past week. One hundred miles leaves out any that get to my city!!
So the little 'shack cities' will start developing 100 miles from the borders now.
