Build a suitably high wall with periodic guard towers. Shoot anybody or anything attempting to go over the wall or approaching it.

Thanks for your activism, and an interesting update.
We MUST continue to pressure our elected Public SERVANTS [national AND local] to S T O P this flagrant disregard and disrespect for the will of American Gringos(citizens) who, in the eyes of our invaders, are sooooo weak and pathetic they can't even defend the borders of their own nation.

Bookmarked your stuff on zolatimes.com; looks like good reading.
The border patrol has portable towers here - trailer mounted and pneumatically raised. Full suite of video and infrared sensors. Not enough of them, though. We have 80+ miles of border.

Thanks for including me on your ping list.
Please keep up the stories from the front lines.
I wish I were in a better financial position so I could head down there and help out, but alas, every month the bills show up here at the palacial Spodefly World Headquarters and my cats don't have any idea what to do with them.
I keep hoping that these stories of how out of control the illegal border crossings are will become the national story that it needs to be, followed immediately by courage by our politicians in invoking a solution.
A dream, I know. But keep telling it like it is.

I keep trying to train my dogs to eat the bills, but unless I really soak them in gravy...

Did you get a chance to consider that thread on the 14th Amendment?

Not yet. The fire on the banks of the San Pedro River forced a lot of smuggler traffic west into the Huachucas. I have friends who have hundreds of uninvited "guests" every night right now. God help us when moonrise returns to civilized hours.

To: CurlyDave
Don't I wish. Too many breaks in the fence.

"Build a suitably high wall with periodic guard towers. Shoot anybody or anything attempting to go over the wall or approaching it." How about just a continuous stretch of high voltage triple strand concertina (properly staked with apron) for the first line of border, folowed by a 50 meter "dead zone" of raked sand and filled with AP mines for the second row, and lastly those towers using GSR coupled to ground mounted 20mm Vulcans. All towers manned by National Guard. End of problem, guaranteed - and people would be volunteering for duty.

Barbed or razor wire barrier 100 feet in front of the wall as the first waning barrier. Anything crossing that into no man's land gets drilled..

On the third stop, something hit me right between the eyes. Here is one ugly civilian running around on a road that is usually only used by the Border Patrol. In plain sight in the cab of the truck is one Winchester Defender 8-shot shotgun, one AR-15 with scope, and one .45 Ruger Vaquero poking out of its holster on the passenger seat. None of the agents so much as batted an eyelid or asked me about their presence. This struck me as strange, since my face usually upsets dogs, small children, little old ladies, and law enforcement of any jurisdiction. Why should they be upset? Your possesion of them violates no federal law, it sounds like you are a Gringo, making you an unlikely canidate for a Coyote, or even a drug runner in those parts. The peones that the coyotes are smuggling in couldn't even aford one of those weapons, and as I said you're a Gringo, so unless you bear a striking resemblance Osama, or Saddam, the federales, particularly the BP, have no potential beef with you. I guess you are in Arizona, although you don't say, but either AZ or NM has no problem with your possesion of a (very) small arsenal either, AFAIK.
I however have a big problem with you. You didn't get, or at least didn't post, a picture of the Border Patrol babe. Like Mr. Liddy, I love women with guns. :)

She wears a green uniform, a badge, and a Glock. If she's wearing a Glock, she isnt BP.

So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round I know that border. I lived along it and I ran it more than a few times. So long as this is Xanadu no walls or towers are going to keep any one out.
Those valleys have been a passageway to the north since men hunted mammoth in the valleys with spears and rocks. The ancient porchteca, Aztec merchant princes, regularly traveled up the San Pedro to the Gila and across to California. For three hundred years Apaches and Commanches used it to raid deep into Mexico, until raiding trails were beated into smooth wide roads. Geronimo and Juh crossed at will despite the best efforts of Crook's patrols. The Clantons, and other border riffraff, used those trails to bring stolen cattle up from ranchs below the border.
420 miles of wall, manned 24 hours a day might slow but won't stop the immigrant surge. Those willing to risk the Camino del Muerte won't be stopped by a wall. If anyone starts shooting women and children on my border I would be back down there in a heartbeat. It isn't going to happen.
We have chosen to have a welfare state and this is one of the costs. We have few choices but the best are to (1) End the welfare state and (2) Have a robust guest worker policy. They will still come but at least we can make order out of the chaos and have some controls.

...stopped by agents three more times, ...wanting to know why we were on the Border Road. ....third stop, something hit me right between the eyes. Here is one ugly civilian running around on a road that is usually only used by the Border Patrol. In plain sight in the cab of the truck is one Winchester Defender 8-shot shotgun, one AR-15 with scope, and one .45 Ruger Vaquero poking out of its holster on the passenger seat. None of the agents so much as batted an eyelid or asked me about their presence. This struck me as strange,.... I had to ask. I was told that if I had been unarmed it would have been highly suspicious. Only a complete moron drives the Border Road unarmed. One told me that if he had seen me unarmed, hed have hauled me in for criminal stupidity. Now that's telling. That we as Americans have to be armed to drive along our southern border.
When do you think any of BP are going to get that word to our elected officials?
When ASU goes to the FINAL FOUR?
