Excellent idea!
People around here would just advertise over in Mexico for people willing to to be caught and shipped back. I think you would have thousands of takers at $5 a head. It could get very expensive very quickly for the US gov't.
I have relatives in Bisbee and they told me about Barnett years ago. He is a hero to most in the area.
It would be useful to know who this "just following orders" lamebrain is.
When the explosion arrives, his whining must be put in the proper context.
The ordinary citizen hires policemen at all levels to do the job that they choose not to do individually.
When the mercenaries utterly fail to do their job (fraud and negligence), they have the temerity to threaten their employers.
A rude awakening is inevitable.
I find it impossible to imagine any excuse for total ineptitude spiced with arrogance.
On a related subject, a slick "madison avenue" propaganda sound bite showed up on my satellite as a PBS starring unknowns and a few "hollywood" morons.
My favorite line: America must accept everyone, or it is not America.
Hard to imagine a mind that would believe such a moronic concept, or own the tiny mental horsepower that would have them believe that the American public will mindlessly buy into it.
The talking heads in the media and this administration are going to have a hard time explaining it away.
It’s called multiculturalism and it is taught K-college and championed by the NEA and other teacher’s unions.
He is convinced that while most people living along the border understand the problem, the rest of the country has no idea what is happening.
This is mostly true, but if you are in construction on a small scale, in the South, Midwest, even as far east and north as New York, the Mexican “exchange student” is the back bone of the operation, especially in the building of private homes. They are hard workers and talented. However, being talented doesn’t excuse them or the employer for breaking the law.
Few in the country and Washington, D.C. have a clue as to wave of migrants entering this country via our borders; it is an invasion and it is real. Roger Barnett is to be commended for his efforts, not criticized as the Southern Poverty Law Center is want to do. That subversive group should be gone over with a fine toothcomb by the FBI rather than waste time and money trying to trip up an American Citizen who has the right to protect his property.
Their way of drumming up biz no doubt.
Alaska has been steadily flooded with Illegals for many many years now. Even saw a huge La Raza banner being carried in a Native Sovereignty parade a couple years ago.
I don't think it's the right way to go ----we've got politicians promising amnesty if they can get over here and work for 2 years and live off others for the other 3, we have businesses getting away with hiring them and an alternate system of obtaining Social Security numbers, also the drug trade is very lucrative ---and you can see that by the corridas they sing. I'd rather see those shut down than violence on the border. Promising amnesty just encourages a run for the border and legalization encourages a run for the welfare office.
It's sad because some of these people are just trying to save their homes and families back in Mexico which continues to cheat these people out of a good living there. There should be a way they can stay home and enjoy some of their own country's vast natural resources ---and most would prefer that to what they're doing.
No violation of law here. Barnett is well with in his rights. If the FBI is wait for him to mess up the FBI better focus on more important things. To bad others don't follow suit and follow a leader. To bad Congress and the President are politically afraid to solve this problem.
Let's get real!
Jim Behnke is pure grassroots. Locals like Barnett talked him in to running against RINO Kolbe because Kolbe is completely out of touch with his constituents - especially on the border issue. Recent townhalls held by Kolbe ended up showing how fed up with him his constituents are - and Barnett was out front as one of his most vocal critics.
The trouble is, Behnke is up against an entrenched incumbent with a $1.6 million campaign warchest. Behnke needs your help. You can donate online to Jim Behnke for Congress at www.behnkeforcongress.com.
Agreed. You make some good points. I still think the idea of a strictly enforced and monitored "guest worker" program, offers the best alternative for both business and the workers. Come over, work for the period required, pay taxes and then go home.
Natural resource exploitation in Mexico could offer unlimited opportunities. Bush need to push this. We could offer technical help.
It's nice to know the government is keeping an eye on American citizens.
Now if only the government were as zealous about keeping an eye on illegal immigrants.
