Why is there not one single Republican calling for an indictment of the felonious corrupt behavior of Hillary Clinton? Not one.

“Try Home Depot and Lowes’ Parking lots,”

There’s a group of 10 to 15 every day at my Home Depot. Multiply that times the number in town.

[Red Badger]

THEN Multiply that times the number of Home Depots and Lowes in the USA..................

NBC finally got a clue. Unbelievable!

I actually watched this segment on NBC and have to disagree with Newsbusters assessment.

Both ranchers spoke strongly about drug mules, not illegals. The one rancher said illegal traffic is way down but drug smuggling is substantial. And NBC's video showed what was apparently file footage of mules carrying large backpacks

Here is the NBC video segment

LOL! Just info. Still no clue. They don’t even have a clue how process the info. Probably, to them, just proves how racist those ignorant “fly over” folks are.

[cymbeline]

“illegal traffic is way down but drug smuggling is substantial”

What’s the significance of that to our porous border problem. For one thing, a person that smuggles drugs across the border many times will probably get rich. If that person just comes to America for a job or whatever, he’ll just be a poor non-American.

I saw the report. They did interview a couple of people that weren’t worried about the border crossing.

[uncitizen]

Exactly! Ask people here in Silicon Valley. Everybody knows what’s going on. Illegals are just as Trump said they are. He’s nailed it.

Ditto with my rep. More concerned about ‘trade’ than her oath of office and duty to the Constitution.

A pox on her and the rest of the GOPes...

NBC Nightly News surprisingly went down to the U.S.-Mexico border to further understand on the situation.

"Understand the situation"? Fer Chrissakes, it has been going on for YEARS. They didn't go down until Trump touched a nerve.

I'd like Trump or the ranchers invite the media (again) and the enviros (again) on a tour of our borders and see how its been trashed. If fact, I'd love to see Trump, or anybody, post these pics again and ask the enviros some embarrassing questions.

This is from Arizona (Tucson Weekly, 2009) Photos by Leo W Banks:

Caption: "This trash-filled wash is below Diablito Mountain, about 5 miles west of Interstate 19, southwest of Arivaca Junction. It is 21 miles north of the border at Nogales. The illegal aliens who dump their trash here have just emerged from the Tumacacori Highlands, which are also trashed out."

Caption says "Border Patrol agent Mario Escalante holds a sophisticated bulletproof vest found among garbage on Arizona's border".

And this one to the feminists:
Caption: "This rape tree, in the Altar Valley near three points, holds the undergarments of female border crossers. Coyotes sometime rape their female clients in such remote desert locations, then hang their underwear from branches as a kind of trophy."

Just look here, in the commie HuffPo when they were shilling for the O-House to bring in illegals.....

80% Of Central American Women, Girls Are Raped Crossing Into The U.S.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/12/central-america-migrants-rape_n_5806972.html

As the number of Central American women and girls crossing into the U.S. continues to spike, so is the staggering amount of sexual violence waged against these migrants who are in search of a better life.
According to a stunning Fusion investigation, 80 percent of women and girls crossing into the U.S. by way of Mexico are raped during their journey. That’s up from a previous estimate of 60 percent, according to an Amnesty International report.
This year alone, immigration authorities expect more than 70,000 unaccompanied minors to come through the United States unlawfully, the majority of whom are from Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The number of unaccompanied Central American girls caught at the Southwest border has rapidly outpaced the number boys, according to a July Pew Research study.
Through May, the number of unaccompanied girls younger than 18 caught at the US-Mexico border increased by 77 percent.
But while many of these girls are fleeing their homes because of fears of being sexually assaulted, according to the UNHCR, they are still meeting that same fate on their journey to freedom.
Rape can be perpetrated by anyone along the way, including guides, fellow migrants, bandits or government officials, according to Fusion. Sometimes sex is used as a form of payment, when women and girls don’t have money to pay bribes.
The assaults are so common that many women and girls take contraceptives beforehand as preventative measures.
What’s particularly disconcerting is that the fact that these figures may not even represent the full grim picture.
There is one unit in Mexico that is committed to investigating and prosecuting crimes against migrants, Erin Siegal McIntyre, one of the Fusion reporters who wrote the sexual violence story, told HuffPost Live.
Yet, though thousands of women are passing through Mexico, the unit reported that it’s seen only six cases of assault against migrant women this year, which includes kidnapping, rape and armed robbery.
The issue, McIntyre says, is that these victims are too afraid to come forward both because of the stigma that’s associated with rape and the fact that they fear being sent back home.
“The very authorities who should be handling such complaints are also in most cases the ones that are tasked with rounding up migrants and deporting them back to their native country,” McIntyre said. “It’s very hard to get people to open up about stuff like this.”

“Barack Obama’s flooding the zone. He’s changing the composition of this country, what he believes is a grossly unfair country populated by bitter clingers. Too many Christians, policed by racist cops. So he’s going to transform this country because it has been grossly unfair, bigoted, racist and discriminatory. It’s populated by these bitter clingers, white majority, racist, sexist, bigot homophobes. That’s why the borders are wide open.” -Rush

“You’d think they’d be able to hire an actor to support the narrative. “

Or Lester could have picked some cotton while he was there to increase his “bona fides.”

Nixon lost his job over 18 minutes of tape, yet Hillary hid or wiped 10’s of thousands of emails.

True, but the press hated Nixon. The same press noticed Hillary has a "D" by her name and they gave her a pass. The press is corrupt...

I think they’re setting us up for another Perot.

I had a short business trip to Minnesota a couple of years ago. As my boss was quite cheap, we wound up staying at a Super 8 (I think that’s what it was called). Well, there were dozens of what looked like Mexican men, just loitering around the parking lot, sitting on trucks, etc. This was outside the city....made me a little nervous.

Or was I thinking of the network who sent a reporter to Viet Nam on a boat who went to where Kerry had a firefight, got off the boat, and interviewed someone who was actually there 40 years ago?

*******************************************************************

Is that the “firefight” where Kerry shot a 14 year old in the back and got the Silver Star for it?

Not that I have any qualms about shooting an enemy combatant in the back, no matter the age but really, a Silver Star for that.
