But we might have a bunch of starving mexicans scrambling up here

No need for them to head up here and starve. Mexico has lots of billionares, including their failed leader Fox. Let them feed their own people.

We can't afford it anymore.

Here is that double picture, which is indeed worth more than 2,000 words. Anybody who tells you the world's greatest superpower can't easily secure the border is a fool or a liar.

This article says almost "Exactly" what I say about this issue. There are so many edges to this sword of illegal immigration. Like the writer says, it is inconceivable that the Bush administration has and continues to ignore this problem. All the great successes that GW has acheived will be negated when our next massive attack on US soil occurs. Note I said when and not "if". The Islamofacists have already shown us that they are both cunning and patient. Even the dumbest of enemies would exploit our borders to achieve their goals. I am not for a second hoping to get struck again, but am convinced that our terrorist enemies have already infiltrated and that it is only a matter of time before it happens. Needless to say if 20,000,000 illegal immigrants can cross our borders unimpeded, 1,000 or 2,000 terrorists could do the same thing.
All of GW's fine accomplishments will be negated and our WOT will almost seem fruitless if this scenario occurs.

When we have another 9/11 type attack, I am confident that our southern border will look similar to the Israeli fence. It's an absolute shame that this is likely what it will take before anything will be done though.

If we have another 9-11 and the terrorists strolled across our undefended border, the presidnet might be impeached for dereliction of duty.

U.S. Constitution Article 1 Section 8 Clause 15:


U.S. Constitution Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"

Invasion

Invasion \In*va"sion\, n. [L. invasio: cf. F. invasion. See Invade.] [1913 Webster]

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass. [1913 Webster]

I can't figure out what W's problem is on this issue.

He (or Rove) thinks he wins more votes than he loses by being soft on border control. To make them see the light, we have to make them feel the heat.

He (President Bush) must now show the same willingness to spend whatever it takes to increase the Border Patrol’s manpower. This is a no-brainer Mr. President. To reduce the number of illegal aliens we need to step up and increase our presence on the border.

I hope we don't find out the hard way.

In the meantime he should put the military on the borders until they can be replaced by civilians.

It really makes you wonder just who is in charge of this country, doesn't it?

"This goal is not simply a matter of pouring more money into the Border Patrol either."

It is.

"Recently a group of patriotic Americans got together and formed a group called the Minutemen. These people took border security in their own hands. The Minutemen volunteered to stand guard at well-known border jumping spots on the Arizona border. They were effective. There is no doubt that fewer illegal aliens crossed into America."

This idiot does not live in San Diego County, California.

They all came through here after the border patrol pulled off their agents to cover Cochise County--where the Minutemen were patrolling (and setting off the alarms on the border).

"They helped; the border patrol agents welcomed their help."

Yeah, the BP loved the extra per diem they got.

You want border security?

Open your wallets, people.

The corporations, they want cheap labor and they're getting it.

Our Middle Class is history. Cheap illegal labor now dominates even the tradecrafts (e.g., carpenters, plumbers, mechanics, autobody workers, roofers, road workers) and on the high end our technical jobs are being outsourced overseas.

By design. Welcome to the New World Order.

I just sent this letter to Vicente Fox and to La Opinion in L.A.:


Querido Señor Fox,

No nos diga cómo conducir nuestro propio país, Vicente. Los Estados Unidos de América nos pertenece a nosotros, no pertenece a Ud. ni a los Mexicanos pobres que manda aquí.

Ellos no son "trabajadores sin documentos." Son ILEGALES. Son invasores. Han violado nuestra frontera sin permiso, y están viviendo y trabajando aquí ILEGALMENTE. Si quieren vivir y trabajar aquí, deben solicitar permiso por medio del proceso LEGAL de inmigración. Somos una nación de leyes, y los ilegales no respetan a nuestras leyes. No merecen quedarse aquí.

¿Qué me pasaría si yo entrara a México sin permiso, y si yo tomo un trabajo que "no hará ningún mejicano"? Claro. Me echarán en la cárcel.

Vicente, Ud. es un sin vergüenza y un enemigo de los Estados Unidos de América. Estamos viviendo en una época de guerra. ¿Cómo se atreve decir Ud. que no tenemos el derecho, como un país soberano, de defender nuestra frontera? Arregle a su propio país y economía, en vez de mandar acá a sus necesitados.

Sinceramente,

Los CIUDADANOS de los Estados Unidos de America







Dear Mr. Fox,

Don't tell us how to run our country, Vince. The US of A belongs to us, not to you or to the poor Mexicans you send here.

They are not "undocumented workers." They are ILLEGALS. They are invaders. They have violated our borders without permission, and are living and working here ILLEGALLY. If they want to live and work here, they must request permission through the LEGAL process of immigration. We are a country of laws, and the illegals do not respect our laws. They do not deserve to stay here.

What would happen to me if I entered Mexico without permission, and I took a job that "no Mexican would do"? Of course. I'd be thrown in jail.

Vincent, you are a shameless enemy of the United States of America. We are living in a time of war, and you dare to say that as a soverign nation we do not have the right to defend our borders? Fix your own country and economy, instead of sending us your poor and needy.

Sincerely,

The CITIZENS of the United States of America

That's good. The only thing I'd add would be:

I'll roll through town with my windows rolled down and my English-language, twangy American music blasting at 100 decibels, shaking the neighbors' windows.
