Border Patrol agents working in Arizona, California and Texas continue to be overwhelmed as thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America flood into the United States illegally. As a result, thousands of Border Patrol agents have been pulled off of patrolling the border and into processing facilities where they are making meals, changing bed sheets and babysitting.

"We have all of these juveniles so they're pulling agents out of the field to come in and babysit them basically," a source said last month. "They're cancelling some of our specialty details for our crews who go out and work the mountains, calling them back in and telling them they have to work the processing center because there are so many people in there."

We got along just fine for the first hundred years before prohibition. "Insert derogatory term here".

The WHOLE point of our Independence was God Give Rights. Who are YOU to decide what drugs or treatments someone else decides for themselves?

How many Nazi went to jail for krystalnacht? How many broke the law?

What kind of people kick in doors with machineguns? What kind of people throw grenades into houses with children? What kind of people shoot pets at will?

Nazi is as Nazi does. Time to trim your toothbrush stache buddy.

Yes he is. There is not a doubt in my mind.

But it looks like nothing will be done about it.

drugs are fueling the terrorists and the cartels. Don’t think for a minute that they will get in line for regulations and taxes.

Alcohol fueled rumrunners during Prohibition - and when it ended they didn't get in line for regulations and taxes but they were squeezed out of the market by law-abiding competitors.
