"Is there a problem? Yes. Has it been neglected? Yes. And we certainly need the extra resources," Ackleson said. "But when you look at the text of the declaration, I'm not sure that was the best way to go about it, given the binational sensitivities."

Bravo Sierra, Jason!

From the other side of his mouth, Richardson said that he is against a wall to stop illegals.

He will be President before Hillary under any circumstances, and if he runs a campaign on closing the borders he'll win over any RINO.

Do the math.

He says.."there are 12 million..we cant send them back"..thats the elephant in the livingroom..Either you support the expulsion of the illegals..or you are part of the problem. Very simple.

Yeah, binational. We get their riff-raff and they get billions of hard currency sent back every year.

Great binationalism.

Richardson has stuck his foot in his mouth. He SEES the problem, says he wants to FIX the problem, blah blah blah
So, if he is against a "fence", then he must be for adding thousands of border patrols so they can patrol the entire border 24/7.

Now, if I was a farmer, I could build a fence to keep the coyotes out, or I could hire people to walk the entire length of my property, 24/7, 12 months out of the year, FOREVER. Hmmmmmm, which will cost less. Thousands of employees, or a real good fence. Someone needs to be slapped upside the head. LOL

I have some friends who live in NM and their assessment is that Richardson is an apt pupil of Bubba - no bribe is too small for his pockets.

Richardson also had eight years to feather his nest to avoid any such problems in N.M. and now another 5 as Governor of the State. Any problem he now observes which is a long term problem means he lacks any wherewithal to fix it, even with all resources at his disposal. IMHO, Time for new blood in the Governor's office.

This is the same elected FOOL who stated that he wanted to give ILLEGALS drivers licenses so they could immerse themselves more easily into the economy and social landscape of New Mexico.!!!!

Has this man got as many faces as I think he has?????

Gee Dough Boy... I though you said that the Border Fence is Anti-Immigrant!

So, why would a fence being down bother you?

Oh, that's right...you, and your buds Dane, bayourod and the other OBL Sock-Puppets LOVE you some "cheap lettuce" and cheap Hispandering, and are all on the SAME PAGE with Jorge Arbusto!

Richardson, et al. have long been advocates for "undocumented" workers. Why the flip flop? It's not.

This is a ruse to develop safe passage for the millions and millions yet to come. Too many "border crossers" are victims of crime.

I don't want to see innocent people hurt either even if they are entering ILLEGALLY.

The difference is, I want to see them get safe passage back home.

One clue as to the real reason for Richardson's "flip flop" is his reported concern that our cattle may be infected by Mexican cattle crossing the broken border.

Not a word of concern (that I have found) about the health of U.S. citizens getting infected by the unchecked millions and millions of third world peoples.

I am sure Mr. Richardson sees no problem with them making a bee-line for our hospitals -- then on safely to anywhere they damn well please.

There are 12 million of them and they must go back..
That is what a majority of american voters think.
They will walk back on their own if we really enforce labor laws, stop giving them schooling, health care etc.
Locate, incarcerate and deport enought and they will all be running for the doors, because there won't be income to support them.

I spent some time in New mexico a year and a half ago. It seems like he was getting visiting by one foreign dignitary after another. I'd say it will be Clinton/Richardson for the dems in 2008.

With Bush's hands across the border policy and let the terrorists enter too, the dems will steal the illegal issue for the next election.

Give me a break. This cat couldn't get elected on a town's water board committee. Richardson ran Clinton's Energy Dept, remember how that turned out?

"This cat" has already been elected to Congress and as governor of New Mexico. Underestimate him at your own risk.

LOL! I have been on FR for days trying to tell you reactionaries that Chinagate figure bill richardson was lying and pandering to you guys.

And what do I get for being right? Some vindictive rant that doesn't make sense.

Maybe you guys can get off your heroin like addiction to knee jerk slogans such as jorge arbusto and support two good conservatives such as Kyl/Cornyn.

But that would require you all to stop mainlining your knee jerk slogans and conspiracy theories.

From another thread:Each year more than 500 million people, 130 million vehicles, 2.5 million rail cars and 7 million cargo containers cross the borders, 95 percent of them at the country’s 361 land, sea and air ports...

If 95% are crossing legally, then 5% is left over. 5% of 500 million=25 million PER YEAR. Yet, the gum't claims there are only 12 millions of illegals here now!

No, you have been trying to associate Richardson and other OBL sock-puppets like yourself with REAL Conservatives who want an END to ILLEGAL Immigration and all that it entails and causes.

See, Quisling; Richardson is like you, bayourod, and all the other sock-puppets...he can't tell the truth for his life...but WE can see you all for what you are.

Little poll, all..

Richardson's postion MORE reflects the positions of...


1) Dane, bayourod, Jorge Arbusto, Vincente Fox, and the ENTIRE OBL Sock-Puppet quisling cabal.
2) Real Conservatives that believe in America and our Border's, Language, Security and Culture.
3) I dunno, I just want my toilets cleaned cheap, and my lettuce cool, crisp and $0.39 a head... pass the fabric softener...(SNIFF!!!!!).

That was my first thought, too.
And he's looking for law enforcement on both sides of the border? What an idiot.

so everyone's been saying for years that the border needs better patrolling, and he just now sees it? so my question is, is his whole "state of emergency..
a:) embarassment that civilians are doing a better job than his own officials?
b:) (re)election gimmick to help himself or other dims/ embarass republicans?
c:) a way to line his pockets?
d:) all of the above?

That did it! We need to hire more patrols. Take out an ad in the paper:

BORDER PATROL AGENTS NEEDED!
8 dollars and hour.
$9.25 if you supply
your own vehicle!

That'll fix it!

Bush and Rove believe that the border is secure - BS! Bush is slowly working his way to traitor of the US if a terrorist comes over here and kills innocent Americans.

To Bush: What did you know and when did you know it ? How could you allow the American people to suffer such a tragedy and not act?

...conservatives don't forget it when you take a sh*t on them.

Actually....we do.

Unfortunately, our track record shows we do...because until now "party loyalty" was king due to the memory of Reagan.

The times they are a changin'...and all the sock-puppets and "Big Tent-ers" have KILLED any loyalty that Conservatives have to the (R)'s...too many times have we BOHICA's for the squish moderates/LIEberal (R)'s, only to have them "Stab Us In The Back" (now where have I heard that before?...hmm...) like Snarlin' Arlen and Snowe/Collins/McStain do REGULARLY to conservatives!

It also comes down to the ENTIRE heirarchy is compromised due to the FBI files peccodillo that X-42 Krintong pulled off. Until the entire (R) party is disinfected top to bottom, and new, uncompromised people are in, the (R)'s will continue to be blackmailed into submission (I guess that IS Islam, isn't it?)...and Dane, bayourod et al will get their sock-puppet talking points and cheap lettuce at the expense of America.
