Violent Border Smugglers Scare U.S. Scientists
Foxnews ^ | Sunday, December 30, 2007 | AP

PHOENIX — Biologist Karen Krebbs used to study bats in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument on the Arizona-Mexico border. Then, she got tired of dodging drug smugglers all night.

"I use night-vision goggles, and you could see them very clearly" — caravans of men with guns and huge backpacks full of drugs, trudging through the desert, Krebbs said. After her 10th or 11th time hiding in bushes and behind rocks, she abandoned her research.

Yep. Really. Far easier than dealing with the bastards that they leave to our care when they are in the pen.

Come on out and see if you can do a better job of it.

Piece of cake. All they'd have to do is follow the bat lady around at night.

I used to hike in the Organ Pipe NM and it is a beautful, spare, pristine environment. Damn shame what the government has let happen there. But when you have a degenerate failed slum culture on your border you either deal with it or pay the price.

Keep jail for the violent, the thieves, the extortionists, the bribe makers and bribe takers.

Now you're moving into the dangerous territory where the corrupted and bought off operate. I want all these scum dragged out into the light of day, no matter how high their positions, explaining their actions to their neighbors and the taxpayers.

I want to be sure I understand what you’re saying. You’re saying that the only reason we have multitudes of children whose fathers take no responsibility for them is because of our drug laws?

I want to be sure I understand what you are saying. You're saying that the only reason you replied was to twist my post into an idiotic inanity that bears no relation to what I posted, because you are otherwise unable to make a point. Do I have that correct? Is there more?

To be sure, what I am saying is that one of the main reasons we have an exceptionally large cohort of incorrigible socially dangerous bastards born of single moms is because of the drug laws dumping all the Dads in jail where they become trained in the thuggish and anti-social arts.

It is not the only reason, but it is a BIG reason. Maybe the biggest, by accrual (compound interest) over the nine generations since we began the infamy.

Thank you for your post. Clearly it is pointless to discuss things with you, since if you are questioned you clearly get defensive and nasty. Thank you for the heads up.

Dear Lady,

It seems impossible for you to engage in discussion, since you (1) seem unable to restate other's position fairly, (2) have a overly sensitive nature, and (3) appear to be a "quitter".

Therefore,

Good quittance to you!

Can’t imagine much difference. Decriminalizing would not change much. Legalization might actually PROLONG their miserable lives because of a cleaner, less adulterated, supply of drugs.

It would take far more than you to get rid of me.

Have a nice New Years Eve.

This article was on the front page of this morning’s ABQ Journal so am adding New Mexico as a topic.

Dear Lady Suzie,
I know thou art a woman. Yet dost thou not seeth even to thine own unpredictable intellect of the fair sex that thou hast removest thine own self from this discussion?

Versooth, madam, I have not "gotten rid of" you, rather it is YOU who have said that you are able to continue the discussion -- it is something you admitted to being incapable of continuing.

Fondest, kindest regards,

"Keep jail for the violent, the thieves, the extortionists, the bribe makers and bribe takers."

Then where would we put Congress?

“Violent Border Smugglers Scare U.S. Scientists”

Nice to see our tax-supported employees in academia get to see a bit
of why the Average Joe/Josephie is steamed about the invasion of the
USA.

But as for these pencil-necked geeks really learning from the experiences...
I won’t hold my breath.
They’ll continue voting “D” or “Green” and paying money to the Sierra
Club...that refuses to issue policies against illegal immigration
even if the deserts of the USA are being turned into open sewers/dumbs
by the illegals.
