You are a stone liar.

If you are from Texas, you have obviously never left the comfort of the suburbs. Head down to South Texas, and you will come across checkpoints at some point, and well inland I might add. Hell, about 5 years ago I've had BP come on to my family's land and question what we were doing on private property. Keep in mind that BP doesn't give a damn if illegals keep trashing our hunting cabins and the buildings on the outer reaches of our ranch. God forbid if we are doing some work on a simple fence. Unfortunately Texas is a state where the political leaders are just fine with this crap. Sure, they bitched about Bush and now Obama, but when push comes to shove, they side with the Department of Homeland Security every time.

I'm surprised at your handle, given that you joined in January. Be careful what you wish for - Texas is a minority-majority state, whites make up less than half the state and are about to be passed up by Hispanics, and the Democrats have been catering to them, not to mention all of the liberals from California, New England, and Florida that have been moving in....

I go through check points 3 or 4 times a week in my job. Anything within 150 miles is considered a border check point,it's the law and has been for as long as I can remember. I know dozens of farmers/ranchers from Eagle Pass to El Paso.
I've been "hit on" by drug dogs more than once and that can get ugly quick but never to violence. Usually it's a really animated conversation with the dog handler until his supervisor hears enough and pulls him off.
I have two nephews that are BP and they are ruled with a bureaucratic iron fist which is not so bad when you see the quality of recruits they're getting now days. (They're words,not mine.)
Vandalism to outbuildings on farms and ranches is not just a border problem. Either secure it or expect it. Up in the panhandle they break in to cook dope.
As to my handle,I don't think it's if but when. A nation divided cannot stand,remember.
I think you'd be surprised how it would turn out but what do I know? I've just been in Texas all my life.
