What more can I say?

Ping!

[RLK]

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

Ping! Madfly passed me her border/immigratiom ping list. If you want off this one, let me know.

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.

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

What a day!

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 isn’t BP.

Park Service?

...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, he’d 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?

We have many friends in Arizona who have given up hiking in certain areas because of fear of the illegal alien traffic. They describe the same destruction of the land that is ignored by the politicians of the state.

Thanks for keeping the people on FR up to date on this outrage. When will George Bush step up to the plate and face this invasion of America? He won't get my vote again, not that he cares, he thinks that he'll get all the hispanic vote to make up for all of us that he has lost.

[Missouri]

Thanks for the border update.

This border situation should be the #1 priority of our federal government. Yet only a few politicians dare say anything about it (Tancredo, Folley, Graves).

This is an invasion, pure and simple.

[hot august night]

Please keep me on your ping list, in the event you are keeping a separate list from Madfly. I enjoy reading all your posts. I can't even begin to think about how you can manage to sleep at night when you have to be in the midst of all this corruption and U.S. gov't. duplicity every day and first-hand. Just reading about it from where I am in the Northeast enrages me to no end.

Thank you for all your efforts and sacrifices in "trying" to make our deteriorating country a livable place. I salute you and honor you for all your work. May God keep you safe and sound. (and keep packing...)
