I want them to drive over to west El Paso. If they make it out alive then I’ll be interested in their “take” on the situation.

What was Ortiz’ complaint over the “catch and release” policy?

Was it the “release” part or the “catch” part?

South Texas lawmakers said border communities are the gateway for international DRUG trade and an increase in commerce with Mexico under the North American Free DRUG Trade Agreement.

It will be a “sanitary” tour with the politicos doing a “nothing to see move along people” routine....

(interesting to correlate their visit with campaign contributors)

Gee, wonder why people don't trust Congress - they don't even give enough of a shiite to APPEAR to care about our opinions. Guess what, that works 2 ways.

Let these morons talk to my wife, an immigrant who's spent close to $10,000 over the years to get here, stay here and become a citizen the proper way. She's LIVID about the shamnesty bill, and keeps telling me to ask for our money back. Me, I'd like to know where I can sign up for total tax forgiveness, and I'd like to know why it takes longer for me to get approved to own yet another firearm (I got more than I can hold and shoot at one time, so what's the danger if I get another?) than to screen someone for admittance into the country - and that at a time when its possible that one of those crossing the border may be carrying a nuke or a dirty bomb.

Hey, CONGRESS PUTZHEADS, if you want to know what's going on, talk to the people not a bunch of arse-kissing, ambitious local politicians.
