"The Border Patrol are a joke."

Thanks for reminding me to add "anti-Border Patrol" to the things the Antis are against. The American Association of Psychiatrists might have to create a new classification called the Buchanan/Tancredo Anti Symdrom.

"The Constitution is to defend against enemies foreign and domestic"

Do you have a list of people our government currently has designated as enemies of the U.S., or do you just decide on your own who you want to be an enemy each day and then try to justify your hostility toward them by saying its you Constitutional duty to oppose them because they are enemies?

Jews and Catholics are among the people opposed by some of your fellow anti-illegals. If you decide to label them your "enemies" will you claim that the Constitution now requires you to fight Catholics and Jews?

The Secretary of Homeland Security testified before two Congressional committees last month on what reforms they needed to pass in order for him to be able to secure our borders from terrorists.

Tancredo immediately vowed to block those reforms. Now what does you oath require you to do, support our government in its war on terrorism or support a professional fundraiser who needs to keep the terrorist threat alive to raise more money? You can't have it both ways. Do you support the Commander in Chief in time of war or not?

Like I said, fire ants from South America, Africanized bees and illegals. Are the other groups that you mention talking about taking over the southwest part of my country and forming their own. I certainly haven't heard of it if they have. I am justifying my feelings toward them because they are in this country illegally. I will have no hard feelings against them if they get their butts back to where they belong. I did not take that oath lightly.I am no longer in the military but I still believe that I have an obligation to this nation. The oath is,

I do solemnly swear(or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear the faith and allegiance to the same; And that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the uniform code of military justice.

Yeah, but I thought bayourod and the crickets worked pretty well together since whenever I ask a question of you, mostly I hear crickets.

Anyway, you seem to have dodged another question, but since it's possible(but unlikely) you may have missed it: So you would agree that unrestricted/uncontrolled immigration would not be a good thing for America?.

"Dang, bayou... are you like making a mint sneaking them in or something? "

A mint? You want to play follow the money trail? Put on a tin foil hat, sharpen your pencil and prepare to lay awake pondering the possibilities.

Let's say an ambitious young work aholic coyote can smuggle ten rabbits a night across the border. The threads posted the last few months seem to indicate the fees range from #3,000 to $8,000 per rabbit and rising as the number of border guards is increased. Let's say he charges only $5,000 per rabbit.

Now add that up and our young coyote is grossing eighteen million and two hundred fifty thousand dollars per year.

Let's say he pays MS-13 a million dollars a year and the local Mexican police another million dollars a year for protection, that still leaves him with over sixteen million dollars.

Not a bad job for a business major college drop out, no? But wait you say, he may not make that much money after the Minutemen get their lounge chairs unfolded. No, I say , just the opposite because now he can charge the rabbits more by scaring them with stories about crazy old men shooting at every noise they hear.

In fact our young college dropout teams up with one of his sistor's johns who is a retire Green Beret living just across the border. The retired GB joins the Minutemen. The two of them buy sophisticated hand held Global Satellite Positioning and scrambled two-way communication devices. The GP learns the plans of both the Border Patrol and the Minutemen each night at the Minuteman briefing just prior to the shift change and passes them onto our young coyote.

Just for further insurance, as the coyote and his ten rabbits file past his position (paying their $1,000 apiece fee), our retired GB calls the Border Patrol and reports seeing a group of OTMs with tattoos crossing about five miles away dragging something that looks like a nuclear bomb behind them.

But our young coyote does have one nightmare---bayourod and the other Bushbots who support the Secretary of Homeland Security in his efforts to seal the border against terrorists by diverting the rabbits to official ports of entry. A Guest Worker Program would put him out of business overnight.

So to help make sure a guest worker program doesn't pass he contributes another one million dollars to the Buchanan/Tancredo website and another $10,000.00 apiece to each of the 100 Senators with requests that they vote against President Bush's immigration reforms. That brings his annual net income down to only fourteen million dollars a year.

So you see, being a coyote is not all it's cracked up to be.

You hypocrite. The absolute last thing you are for is a "sealed border." You are for handing cards to everyone who wishes to come and eliminating borders... just like the president.

A Guest Worker Program would put him out of business overnight.

Now... on this you are quite correct. Legalizing illegals and all who wish to enter by giving them all cards WOULD put the illegal smugglers out of business. Still, it has nothing to do with "sealing" the borders.

Thanks for sort of answering my question though. Obviously you are benefitting in some way by the illegals coming over unchecked.

"Obviously you are benefitting in some way by the illegals coming over unchecked. "

Just to keep the record straight, I am in no way involved with any illegals in any fashion.

My positions are the same as President Bush, The Chairman of the RNC, the members of the Cabinet and the Republican leadership.

If you are going to accuse me of making money off of illegals because of my positions, then you have to accuse all of them also. Keep your tin foil hat on.

Okay. You sound sincere about that. I just vehemently disagree with you.

Also, I don't appreciate the "tin foil" references. This issue is not speculation. It's a real thing and a person is either "pro" or "con." You are "pro" illegal immigration. That's clear.

By the way, a person doesn't have to be a "Buchanan follower" to be against illegal immigration and for enforcement of laws. So, I'd appreciate it if you support your position with facts and evidence instead of inferences.

I also like mom and apple pie. If you have a point to make using some distorted definition of a commom word go ahead and make it.

No, I am pro guest worker program as is President Bush, the Cabinet, the RNC and the Republican leadership. If you accuse me of being pro illegal immigration then you have to accuse them of being pro illegal immigration also.

You are apparently incapable of discussing issues involving economics or national security so you resort to personal accusations.

You're projecting Rod. It's actually a simple question. Why don't you go ahead and take a shot at it?

Or, if you'd rather pass, it might be instructive to others who follow your ramblings regarding illegals.

What have you got to lose; go for it!

Okay. I officially accuse the president of promoting, encouraging, excusing and attempting to "legalize" illegal immigration, just as you are attempting to do. Okay?

You are apparently incapable of discussing issues involving economics or national security so you resort to personal accusations.

I'm not "incapable" at all. It is you who uses phrasing like "Buchanan/Tancredo wing" and "tin foil" (as if there is no problem at all to discuss).

It was YOU who questioned me and my "handle" just yesterday and what my "handle" had to do with Buchanan (like it had anything to do with my stance at all... it didn't and doesn't). You find any dirt on me about that?

You are like a constantly-pumping propaganda machine on these threads (I have mentioned that I DO appreciate the persistence). I've tried to think of what it reminded me of and the only thing that comes to mind is Pravda, during the Soviet Union's existence.

You want to talk about "incapable"? Okay. You are "incapable" of having anything good to say about your fellow Americans (assuming you're even American at all). You are "incapable" of a desire to protect your country from invasion. You are "incapable" of recognizing the Constitutional rights of your fellow Americans. You are "incapable" of appreciating you own nation's sovereignty, its history and its future.

And, just to save you the trouble of comparing yourself to Bush and the traitors in our federal government, YES... I accuse them of the same.

What's your definition of "illegals" ?
