[history]
After being attacked by what officials suspect were illegal immigrants, a U.S. Border Patrol agent was air-lifted to University Medical Center Tuesday night.
FBI spokesperson Susan Herskovits said the agent spent about 40 minutes unconscious in the desert before other Border Patrol agents located him. Herskovits said the agent was tracking a group of illegal immigrants, when he came upon a second group and a "scuffle" ensued.

This is UNACCEPTABLE at a time of war (or anytime for that matter).

Why can't we just build a wall between us and Mexico. Like the Berlin wall or the Great Wall of China?
Oh I know it will never happen, for one thing the cost would be too high. Another, it would too politically incorrect.
It just makes me sick reading stuff like this. CLOSE THE BORDERS!!! PROTECT AMERICANS!

It's a shame the gal who arrested Simcox wasn't the one to get hit upside the head. It might change her attitude towards illegals.

Amen to what you said!!
I read the other day that if the US sustains an attack with bio or chemical weapons of mass destruction, the Mexican and Canadian borders would be closed (by THOSE countries) so that Americans could not escape and find refuge in their countries.
Our troops need to be pulled out of Germany, North Korea, Bosnia, etc. and placed on both borders.
... but it will not happen, as you said.
Sorta like watching a person commit slow suicide ... and we are that person.

I just sent an a-mail to my State and Federal legislators asking why this was found in a backpack along the river, and why we aren't more serious about stemming the flood of border crossers...

for one thing the cost would be too high I think the cost would be a LOT LESS than what we're already forking out for social services, etc. etc. etc. to illegal aliens. I'm talking about billions.
To: janetgreen
Oh I totally agree that the implications of no fence in the past and especially the future are far more expensive in the long run.
Can you imagine the liberal outcry about the monetary cost as well as the "racist" implications? It's time we Americans take America back.
It's going to take a huge public uprising DEMANDING that our politicians do something about this situation before something will be done. Unfortunately I'm afraid that would only happen if we had more terrorist acts committed on our soil and it could be proven that the terrorists came across the N or S borders illegally.

Thanks HiJinx, for doing that. We've been at war with our borders for some time now, however our Fed's haven't shown up yet.

Thanks for the ping.
I would really like to know what the hell is going on???? Christ, these illegals could be terrorists. We're on a terrorist alert, and instead of locking down the borders, we're told to buy lots of water, duct tape, and plastic sheeting. Sometimes I get so infuriated at the blatant stupidity of some people I just want to cry...
