Police in the Mexican border city of Tijuana say they have arrested six men for stealing pieces of the U.S. border fence to sell as scrap metal.

Holes in the border fence once were more commonly made by migrant smugglers, but fewer people are trying to cross because of a weak U.S. economy and a crackdown on immigration.

The Tijuana police department says the suspects intended to sell the steel sheeting as scrap.

The first two men caught cutting into the fence on Monday. An alleged accomplice was detained Tuesday with 11 pieces of fencing. The U.S. Border

Have they been awarded a medal for ingenuity and invited to the White House for lunch yet?

Border fence is really effective when it isn’t even guarded... duh.

Another argument for the virtual fence: Minimal material salvage value.

More seriously: Double layer patrolled fence!

Our legal system in action; Sherry Halligan is wanted for the murder of a man on January 30, 2003, in her home in LaGrange, Illinois. Halligan had allegedly shot and killed a man during a domestic dispute. She was arrested, charged with murder, and released on bond, but failed to appear for her scheduled court dates. On April 21, 2004, after Halligan failed to appear in court, the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, issued an arrest warrant for murder. On October 5, 2005, a federal arrest warrant was issued in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, after Halligan was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Thanks for the link. Kinda refutes the whole “illegals aren’t really a crime problem” story.

Here’s a possible solution: Make the fence out of something nobody wants - obamacare!

Our sophisticated electronic surveillance really works great. Remember, with the "virtual fence" we don't need the real one anyway.

Nothing new, they've been defacing, stealing and robbing tax payers like you blind for years, while they have the full support of your goverment, that is forcing you to pay for their fat government salaries and lucrative retirement pensions as they aid and abet the Mexicans that are robbing you.

Here’s my RIP.

Hit the link for photo’s etc.

R.I.P. Sen. Ted Kennedy 1932- 2009

God just saved Ted from being here to push another amnesty and be proven a liar yet again.

Here is Ted Kennedy commenting on the 1965 immigration bill,Quote
“The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission.” End of Quote.

Ted Kennedy on the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Bill, Quote:
“This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.” End of Quote.

Ted Kennedy(2007) on the McCain/Kennedy immigration proposal, Quote:
“The plan will strengthen our borders and our national security while providing a tough but fair path to citizenship for millions of people.” End of Quote

See video here of Sen. Kennedy pandering with a ‘Spanish’ song. This Latin0
Website was not impressed!

Addendum: Aug. 27, 2009
CBS just did a glowing tribute to Sen. Kennedy featuring all the people he has helped over the years, mostly in Massachusetts.....the disabled, girls getting to play more sports, community centers, the illegal aliens all over the country who got one of his many amnesties. (see list below)
Yes, he did help a lot of people with his socialist legislation. Can’t deny that. We always wondered who was voting for this guy....the people who got something out of it, that’s who. Of course, in liberal, Northeastern Massachusetts, there aren’t too many victims of illegal alien crime to have voted against him.

“In essence, not only are the victims of illegal alien crime ignored and forgotten, they are not even given the dignity of being a statistic. They just disappear. We are creating this registry and data base to change this disgrace, because the government should be tracking this aspect of crime. As you peruse the VOIAC database and note the incredible number, and horrific impact, of the crimes committed by illegal aliens, remember that none of these crimes ever would have been committed if the President and Congress were exercising their constitutionally-mandated responsibilities of securing the border and enforcing existing law!”

Perhaps these are the folks who we should be celebrating today. They paid with their lives for the legislation Ted Kennedy pushed through for special interest groups. (a few of the victims)
“In collaboration with other investigations, FSM has discovered that the illegal alien population contains a disproportionately large percentage of hard core criminals, sexual predators, and drunken drivers. While the President and Congress have basically proposed amnesty to all the illegal aliens who are currently in the United States, for the most part they do not want to discuss or make known the massive collateral damage that many of those same illegal aliens are inflicting on the American people. Once those illegal aliens are made legal immigrants, or guest workers, they will simply be added to the resident criminal population.”
_____________

Ted Kennedy has already pushed SEVEN amnesties into law. None was followed by a reduction in illegal immigration.

1. In 1986, Ted Kennedy’s blanket amnesty for 2.7 million illegal aliens promised a lot more enforcement but did not set any requirements for actual reductions in illegal immigration.

2. In 1994, Ted Kennedy’s Section 245(i) Amnesty gave legal residence and jobs to 578,000 illegal aliens. It was a temporary rolling amnesty primarily for extended family members of immigrants who instead of waiting in line, come on to the country illegally.

3. In 1997, Ted Kennedy’s extension of the Section 245(i) rolling amnesty was followed by an increasing flow of illegal immigration.

4. In 1997, Ted Kennedy also won an amnesty for close to one million illegal aliens from Central America. Illegal immigration sped up some more.

5. In 1998, Ted Kennedy won an amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti.

6. In 2000, Ted Kennedy got the so-called Late Amnesty, legalizing another 400,000 illegal aliens who claimed that they missed out on Kennedy’s 1986 amnesty.

7. In 2000, Ted Kennedy also won the LIFE Act Amnesty for an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens. It was another reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty...an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens. Illegal immigration accelerated.
