This can’t be. Congress promised they were going to build a more secure, more high-tech border.

And no effort, or very little, is being expended by the Federal government to stem the flow.

True. Instead the feds attack those who dare to stand for themselves.

16000 IRS agents and not a single border guard.
This should tell you what the priority is.

What needs to happen is for an implicit guarantee that the grand juries will consider illegal alien trespassers to be a deadly threat, and "no bill" any citizen who shoots a trespasser on his land.

I think this sheriff is effectively making that statement.

It remains to be seen if the US Justice dept will stick its nose in and charge shooting ranchers with civil rights violations on behalf of the illegals.

The war began back in 2001. It’s just now being delivered to our shores again, this time along our Southern border. What’s happening down there isn’t happening in a vacuum.

Until their market dries up, nothing will change. Their Market is in the United States.

We need to dry up the market for free social services, education and jobs for them here too.

There was an "immigration reform" rally here in Vegas this past Saturday with Reid promising them a bill to be introduced this year.

Grrrr, no further comment.

There is already precedence for this established in Arizona.

Fences make good neighbors and we need to build one like Israel is building.

I wonder if many understand this sheriff’s territory? This is the OLD west, folks...If you spend the day with this guy in Hudspeth County, Texas you would leave in amazement...

If we were truly Allies in this war, the Mexican and US Military could work together to end the drug and people smuggling on both sides of the border. The truth is that the Mexican Govt doesn’t want to end the illegal crossings because it is big source of revenue to keep the Mexican economy from spiralng downward.
The areas of NM, AZ and TX could easily be controled on both sides of the border.

I like your logic. And your tag line.

BTW, I’m surprised nobody is pointing out that this sherrif is racist.

Building the fence will save lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ down the road in man power. Build the fence like Israel will take less men to guard it & there for save many $$$$$$$$$$.

We need a return to the days of General Pershing. A few forays over the border could set the standard.

Meanwhile, I continue to heed the warning from the sheriff even though I am no where near the border.

You nailed it Brother. It’s come to the point that I don’t go out without a weapon. Sad state of affairs, and getting worse...

Sorry to be slightly OT, but watch out for Criminals (Illegal aliens) to be the new victim class.

Forget about the fact that we Conservatives focus on Law-Breakers rather than what race of national origin those Criminals are.

The Far-left National Socialist wing of the Democrat Party will focus their projection of the fact that these Criminals are of a certain skin color or ethnicity.

That is irrelevant, the plain fact is that those people have broken the law – that’s all that matters – So WHY should we reward these Criminals by giving them Amnesty and Voting rights?

(I know, Besides the fact they will vote Dem)
