You’re all wrong. Haven’t you been listening to Napolitano? The system works. The Mexican violence is all under control. We’ll screen the violent Mexicans at the airports and, any of them light their shoes on fire, we’ll sure deal with them. And we’ll get them the best liberal legal representation we’ve got.

I remember when the Border Patrol shot at the wetbacks crossing the Rio Grande before they made Amistad Dam. The just scared the feces out of them but it deterred them from crossing. Nowadays it would be a no no.....

The handwriting has been on the wall for quite some time now..... these ###holes are only waking up because there is blood in the streets.

[Texas resident]

Yep, the smackdown of Ramos and Campeon by the feds was taken as a warning by the border guards. 10 year federal prison sentences.

Don’t you miss the Valley?

And what change do we make for the Republicans? Do we change them out for “blue dog” Democrats who will vote for Nazi Pelosi for speaker and if push comes to shove will vote for whatever the Rat leadership tells them to ala Bart Stupack et al? The Rat politicians have no principles so don’t believe a word they say.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"We need to say to hell with the treaty and put troops on the border."

I don't think there's any treaty with Mexico that causes us to withold putting troops on the border. There is the posse comitatus act but no treaty that I'm aware of that could be a problem.

Sweet as a spring morning. It’s about time.

“...We need a return to the days of General Pershing. ...”

In case you haven’t been paying attention...that America is long gone. Has been since the 60s and our little marxist cultural revolution.

[NFHale]

“...The Rat politicians have no principles ...”

Oh, they have principles, all right...but those principles were set out by Marx, Engles, Hegel, Gramsci, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Goebbels, Mao,...etc.,

A point which needs to be repeated over and over again...

[montyspython]

Don’t worry! John McCain will save us!

Oh shit....

[caww]

It’s about time someone called arm yourself!

I have been astounded there isn’t more news and Gov. troops on the border. More deaths happening on our own border than the wars in Irag and Aphganistan. The US has a war right on it’s border....hummmm...and we have no troops there?

Where is Elliot Ness!

[vetvetdoug]

I have a question, why do the counties along the border (Val Verde et al) vote Democrat during all of the elections since Billie Sol Estes was considered ethical?

[nothingnew]

...because there is blood in the streets.

same script as the movie Seven Samurai - the farmers arm themselves with the help of samurai and fight off bandits.

Any idea/specualtion on which if any of the 32 Congressional District seats could change parties, either way? D to R -— R to D?

[myknowledge]

Texans! Prepare to defend yourselves!

[Getsmart64]

posse comitatus act

You think that would apply to this situation? The military wouldn't be used for civil crimes but to repel, basically, an invasion.

[Ro_Thunder]

The Mexican cartels are selling it to gringos (where it is illegal).

The drug ‘problem’ is growing, refining, transporting and selling the drugs here in the USA.

I’m sure the American Left will be throwing fuel on this fire from the LaRaza Nazis and their declarations of a race war to passive-aggressive sociopaths in the Lamestream media countenencing surrender as the highest virtue.
