The Democrat heart is fluttering and the Democrat mouth is salivating at all these new Democrat voters who will cement them in power until the end of the Republic.

Amnesty. Now for the 20-40 million already here. Shortly thereafter for the war refugees and then the rest of Mexico and Central America. I can see here a possible military adventure for Hussein. It might well get even Conservative and Republican support at first as it is touted as a move to "fix the border."

” a humanitarian crisis” = REFUGEES

at least that’s my guess. i suppose we should forget any notion of the border being secured...I can hear it now...”it wouldn’t be “humanitarian” to prevent those in “crisis” from coming into the USA.”

guess I didn’t read down far enough....do you know if this means they are ALREADY GETTING refugee status?

“The border crossing from Juárez to El Paso is jammed daily with Mexican citizens trying to flee the violence. The United States had to open a new, expanded consulate this year in Juárez, partly to accommodate the influx of immigration applications. If the situation in Juárez continues to spin out of control, the potential number of refugees entering El Paso — with a metropolitan population of about 750,000 — would be overwhelming. It is impossible to secure a border with 1.3 million people trying to flee violence.”

Mexico is reverting to pre-Colombian pagan savagery same as was in the movie Apocalypto

Every year my Lutheran Church in Ottawa Kansas sends a group down to Mexico during spring break to build houses in Mexico. This year they were told they can not come do to the violence. They are going to do something stateside, like help repair a mission.

There are some VERY old missions near El Paso that could probably use some help. They were in pretty bad shape when I left the area 8 years ago.

I have never been to Mexico. I cannot understand how anyone could want too go to Mexico.

I understand that 30 years ago, it may have been a nice vacation spot, but now, I’d rather go to Afghanistan than Mexico. Even Haiti is looking like a safer, more enjoyable place.

I recently saw that movie. Very interesting.

Well, technically I guess they’re illegal aliens.....until someone gives ‘em amnesty that is.

I can see Nobama publicly acknowledging that Mexico is a war zone - getting many of the wary cheering for coming out with something truthful. The next day or so he talks about how we have a moral responsibility to take in the war refugees. Of course, all the illegals who’ve been here twenty plus years are retroactive refugees.

Bammo...30 million new Democrats in one swoop riding in on misplaced white guilt and the tyranny of Political Correctness. And the RINOs will finally be able to drop any pretense of conservatism to freely worship at the One’s feet.

The U.S. can secure anything it wants to, when it comes to actual human beings. Our government has stood by as the cartel gangs have entrenched inside the United States. It won’t be a year or two before we’ll have a full blow war on the streets of our nation, with these gangs causing severe problems from one end of the nation to the other.

We already have some places where police are reluctant to go. Watch those areas expand. You and the rest of us have tried to tell our government what was going to happen. They flipped us off and did what they wanted anyway.

Heaven help us with regard to what is just ahead, because our own government never will.

Apocalypto mashes the Aztecs and Mayan together but is mostly set in Mayan land and was filmed where the Mayans live today...... I may be wrong on that. It was filmed in Veracruz where the Aztecs dominated and where Cortez landed and then proceeded to conquer Tenochtitlan toady’s Mexico City
