A few low passes with ordnance hanging on the wings might do the trick. The pilots wouldn’t have to shoot; just show-off the hardware. Any incursions across the border by the Mexican Army (as has happened in the past) should be dealt with accordingly. Mexico enforces its southern border with force, so should we.
see post 76!
If that will drive Greenpeace nuts. I’ll contribute to the nearest illegal. Not hard to find these days in NO.
Think so? I've asked that very question on a thread and been assured by local freepers that this cannot be the case, and that he is much beloved by his neighbors.
For anyone with a ranch in Texas, illegal labor is very tempting. I'd be surprised if the aristocratic Bushes resisted.
The psychology of hiring illegals is a fascinating one. I observe it firsthand with rich locals (golfies) in a nearby resort. Not only do they hire them, but they congratulate themselves on their charity because the illegals are so "needy" and "hardworking." Patronizing, whew! I think something like this is going on with the elites. They're so fond of their servile help that they want to hand over America to them.
Oh!! I love it!!
That's creative thinking at it's best. I think our FR members outshine the DC bunch of rhinos hands down!!
The main thing is that we cannot let them walk away with our party...We have to keep it for us..
I'm sure we will find the way to do that. The Garbage Rebellion will win!
Your Post # 46
Put the turrets back in and I’m your man.
Thanks for a great picture of one of the two finest airplanes ever to take to the air. In late October 1944 my group, the 416th Bomb Group(Light), was converted from the other best airplane to take to the air (of course I’m not the slightest bit partial in saying this) the A-20, Havoc. And in November flew along on the first combat mission the A-26s flew in Europe.
I kinda missed the little old Havoc, though. It still has a place in my heart. Incidentally, the Havoc was the most numerically produced and widely used attack bomber in that war — having been supplied to all of our allies in rather large numbers.
Also, incidentally, I wish folks would quit painting those invasion stripes on the wings if 26s — they were NOT active in the ETO until five-plus months later. And, to add insult to injury — they left off the stripes that were also painted around the fuselage of all allied aircraft on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
Oh well, I guess I can live with it.

Ah yes, the venerable Havoc. A fast and rather robust aircraft. Thank you for your service.
I know this is old, but it just makes me sick............
