Now there's a vehicle that has serious maintenance issues.

that's a savvy smuggler - he knows that if he gets busted, his vehicle will be confiscated. He's got cargo worth about $40K, and, if he gets caught, might see a little jail time and lose his $500 truck.

Thank you for bumping the thread.

With your help, thousands of lurkers will see these actual pictures of our open border with Mexico, and how casually we are being invaded by hoards of criminals.

Needless to say, if you believed your own rhetoric you would be rushing to the border with a rifle to repel the supposed "invasion" rather than bloviating on the internet.

Travis has already served his country as a Navy SEAL. Which branch of the military did you serve in?

supposed "invasion"

Nothing "supposed" about it and you know that. 1.1 million apprehended in 2004, 40% of those in the Tucson BP sector. Over 400,000 illegal entrants turned back, a fraction of the total that cross.

We may be needed again soon. Looks like Bush's buddy Vincente may be backing up his boarder crossing illegals with some military muscle. This could be an interesting weekend.

[Travis McGee]

What I find amusing is that in his reply 37 he cut and pasted from the U.S. Constitution, and called it "rhetoric."

To the Criminal Alien Lobby, the U.S. Constitution is just "rhetoric."

Terry Green should be more concerned about using his real name, if that was his real name. Bold or threatening? (Not the illegals, but their 'handlers'.) Some of the people who traffic these people over the border don't exactly 'play nice'.

Now there's a vehicle that has serious maintenance issues.

Actually, if it still runs with all those guys on board, well, the truck company could be proud of how tough it's truck is!

"Over 400,000 illegal entrants turned back, a fraction of the total that cross."

Even that statistic is meaningless, since Border Patrol policy is just to feed them a meal, and drop them back off at the nearest border crossing, so that they can try again and again until they succeed.

Estimates of the "success rate" for one crossing are about 80 to 90%. So even if the Border Patrol sends you back, the cumulative success rate after 2 or 3 attempts is nearer to 99%.

That is, when being returned to Mexico, the jumpers don't go home to Jalisco or Chiapas. They just regroup and try again.

If the USBP apprehension rate is 20%, (a charitable guess) then multiplying that fraction a few times shows that in reality, the Border Patrol doesn't "stop" any crossers at all. They only delay and inconvenience them on their journey to America.

[Travis McGee]

Sounds to me like Mr. Green knows the deal, and is well prepared.

Rifle and pistol on ATV outings in the desert.

[Czar]

I see you're back doing what you do best--adding absolutely nothing to the discussion.

[fortunecookie]

I hope you're right. It's gotten that bad, like something out of an old western with a modern twist.

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"

Needless to say, if you believed your own rhetoric you would be rushing to the border with a rifle to repel the supposed "invasion" rather than bloviating on the internet.

I would be proud to stand with Travis and protect the borders, even if it means accidently benefiting wimpoid pear-shaped ninnies like you.

It really is like an invasion.

[Larry Lucido]

I think that model pickup is only rated for 35 illegals, tops.

Why do you think nothing ever get done to secure the borders?
