Even here on FR when the trouble first started there were people who said we were exaggerating the problem. No, we weren't. There have been rapes, murders, beatings, drunk driving (hit and run more than you'll ever know). Children being molested, old women being raped and robbed. It goes on and on and on.
We are a patient people, but this goes too far and it's going to end no. No thanks to Johnnie Come Lately McCain.
Yes, I remember when we were not allowed to post threads on border issues. Even when we were allowed to post about the problems, many did not believe what those of us on the border had to say~ because it wasn't reported by the media!
Now the media report some of what happens on the border but I think you have to live here to really know how bad it is. I am not sure why some don't grasp the issues when they are right out there in front of them. There are few areas in this country that have not been effected in a bad way by illegal immigration and smuggling of drugs and humans- yet it is not seen as the serious problem it really is.
