Agreed, and our eMail, our phones, whatever they please.
They are after all Lords over us.
We are merely those disgusting gnats in their teeth, the Citizens of the United States.
Citizens used to be First Class citizens.
Now to these people, we’re pond scum citizens.

Hey chump. This unmanned crossing is the feds idea, not Perrys. Yes, I've read repeatedly where Rick Perry is just an innocent, helpless by-stander.
500,000 illegals march on Dallas Texas, 2006:
Under Rick Perry as Governor of Texas, and President Bush, from Texas at the Federal level, 500,000 illegal aliens march on Dallas Texas, waving foreign flags in their faces, while making demands and threats.

Voters for Democrats. The Country is doneWell sure. A thug hops on the bus, doesn't pay...driver doesn't want to make a fuss, he wants to make his schedule. Thug finds a seat he likes, it's taken -- he demands it. Person sitting there would rather relinquish his seat than make a scene.
They're coming on board and the authorities don't want to enforce demands on them, nor do citizens want to defend their territory.
The soft and civilized usually yield to the hard and uncivilized.

I'd like to be an individual in the audience asking the GOP candidates a question.
It would be, how will you as president, roll back the unprecedented erosion in civil liberties of American citizens and will you make a pledge to end TSA assaults on our freedom?
To: Just4Him
Maybe they’re going to allow them to vote from these unmanned booths.

"I have walked across the border to Boquillas. There is nothing there except a few adobe huts and some burros. The river is very shallow. No bridge. Boquillas is a dusty little nothing town. I am not even sure you can access it from Mexico. It is at the bottom of Boquillas Canyon, on the Mexican side." I've been down there to where that crossing several times. There's always some guy selling walking sticks or copper wire scorpions or something, but since 9-11 they stay on their side for the most part. I'd have no problem with a crossing there, it is a very remote area and not likely to be a huge crowd going either way. I think the illegals come in farther out west for the most part, through the ranch land and not so much in the National Park. But there are roads down to Boquillas, at least one. I've sat in the desert at night and watched headlights way down to the south, moving toward the Boquillas area.
I understand people's objection to this but that area is pretty well patrolled and watched. If it comes to the point there are trucks full of people coming across the river there (and you can drive across in at least a few places) then that would have to be stopped.

Which groups on the political spectrum are well-known advocates of legalizing illegal drugs?
Actually, it's the drug cartels and those bought off by them that want to keep drugs illegal in the US. OUR WOD is what has caused this problem.

Texas never had those pesky illegals until that ***hole Perry showed up. /s
No one ever addressed the Hispanic community as Governor until that ahole Perry showed up.
No one ever spoke to the president of Mexico until that ahole Perry showed up.
Sheesh! your arguments are weak as water.

They live there. Its probably too rugged for even the illegals or the druggers to use it. Am not sure if it even has a road to it on the Mexican side other than a donkey path and a couple of hundred miles of inhospitable Chihuahuan Desert.
Don't quite know why the Mexicans would want to cross there, nothing on our side except another 50 miles of hard rocky desert and thorns.
There used to be a great hot springs next to the Rio Grande, but it has been washed away through the years. First time I waded over to Boquillas Village in the late 50’s it was right out of the 1800’s, there wasn't a single car or any motorized vehicle. The one Cop rode a mule.

The American people have been beaten into the dirt for 20+ years, forced to subsidize millions of these criminals as they totally disrespect our laws, rules and our borders, leaving the landscape strewn with tens of thousands of American victims in their wake.
And the AH has the nerve to tell the American people they "Don't have a heart" when it comes to this?
You're the in-house VP of the Perry fan club?
You need to post more attractive pics of him. Try to find one of him riding in a border patrol dune buggy.
Somebody might just buy it!

Perhaps, but it will not increase illegal crossings into the US.
