Those who don't think that the terrorists are taking notice of what is going on at our borders, are crazy.

It won't be long before something happens on US soil because of this shite. It's a free for all right now. We will feed them, give them a comfy bed to sleep in, give them free healthcare...then they will blow something up.

But hey....let's just let everyone in.

End the war on drugs and most of these immigration problems go away.

Perry, the local sheriffs, the head of the border patrol union have all said that last year the arrests of illegal immigrants from the middle east on our southern border was an all time high. It is just a matter of time until a suicide bomber gets through.

Makes me wish our military weren't so scattered. As we withdraw from places it would be nice to have these guys on the border. Seasoned guys who spent everyday assessing good guy or bad guy in a MUCH shittier situation.

And resources to tell where a shot was fired from and then absolutely return fire. Be it 50 caliber or whatever god awful millimeter that is on Blackhawks. 30mm? Military dudes help me out. My military knowledge comes from Bourne movies and YouTube videos.

It is only a matter of time. A marine already kidnapped. Let some drunk dove hunters stumble across the border accidentally or stumble into some shite going on on our side?

I am a hippy liberal by this boards standards but this is enough. Any serious border discussion needs a discussion of a fence. Too much border to cover without the delineation of a fence. Accidents can happen. Americans can hunt or hike and end up on the wrong side. Allow legal immigration. But shite. Mexico is a damned bloodbath but we can't have a fence?

Hell, they found a Muslim prayer rug here in AZ a few weeks ago, so the line of "let's do it for the children" is bullshite. Glad I'm leaving this state next week.

They are only shooting the BP agents that Americans won't shoot.

With the current administration it wouldn't surprise me if a BP agent or a local ranch owner defended themselves and we're charged with murder by the DOJ.

Once again the Mexican military or mercenaries working for the cartel have fired on Americans. How much longer are we going to put up with this armed invasion?



Like bears crapping on fallen trees in the woods,,, if Obomba wasn't there to see it,, didn't happen.

This is the dumbest non-sequitur I have seen.

Eta: in fairness, it's just the dumbest thing I've seen today.

as a libertarian I'm for ending the war on drugs, simply for the vast waste of resources it is as well as impingement on our freedoms. That doesn't mean ALL drugs should be uncontrolled, and even taking the drug aspect out of it, there will always be contraband that needs controlled, if not drugs, nuclear material usable for dirty bombs, something that warrants banning.

Show me another country worth a crap that doesn't control it's own borders. At the end of the day our near worthless govt has been great at sticking their nose where it doesn't belong and an inept failure at doing the very basics they are accountable for, ie maintaining a secure border.

I don't mind the discussion of ending the war on drugs. It has very little to do with the current immigration issue.

This.

The morons will tell you they aren't coming here for bennies, that they can't get them. bullshite.

That's not even considering the fact they clog up ER's all over and get free healthcare.

People don't understand that the "minimal" amounts they might get for their kids in benefits is more than they could earn in a month in their homeland even if they were lucky enough to work every day.

And that education only goes through elementary school and isn't free everywhere.

And there's no hospitals in a lot of cities, let alone insurance.

And the list goes on and on.

Actually you're very wrong. The current wave is coming from 3 Central American countries - Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador - which have been ravaged by the drug war. On the flip side there hasn't been a wave coming from other CA countries like Nicaragua, Panama or Costa Rica. Why? Lack of extreme drug violence. The children from these countries would also be subject to the same laws giving the misperception that they could stay rather than being deported. The Drug War doesn't have everything to do with these migrations but it is very important.
