Actually Bob, the dumb SOB doesn’t have a clue, about this or much of anything else if the last 7 years are any indicator…

You know, this just bugs the carp out of me. Every year we have thousands of Americans murdered in our cities and many cities have had to cut back on police services due to financial reasons and here Bush goes and gives 400 million to Mexico. Does he have any idea of what 400 million would do to bolster law enforcement here in the states?

Dudley, if I was 25 years younger, I’d be there in a heartbeat!

Back when Panco Villa was making raids into the US, the president sent the Army down there to put a stop to the incursions. My grand father was a student at Texas A&M at the time and was in the Corps of Cadets. He and his fellow students were issued a new uniform, given a rifle and ammunition and loaded into large trucks and driven down to the Mexico border to help defend this nation. If the US could defend its southern border eighty or so years ago with the help of a bunch of college kids, I think they could easily do so with the weapons available today, Any volunteers?

Then we have this:

A top federal immigration attorney and his wife were arrested Thursday on suspicion of accepting bribes from immigrants seeking to remain in the United States, according to the FBI.

After 09/11 one of the first things we heard coming out of the swampland was that we were going to secure our borders so that terrorists couldn’t cross over.

I’m still waiting.

Oh yes, that’s right; now I have to have a passport to get back into my own country if I cross the borders.

Guess that will really keep the terrorists and illegals out.

I wonder how much of that money was spent for the to buy the trees they are planting on their side of the border for that “green fence”? I say we plant of few things on this side…..a land mine here, a land mine there…….

400 million to a country that’s drilling oil off our Florida coastline? Is he nuts?

Visit your local discount auto parts store…Advance, Auto Zone, etc. Ask the manager if you can look though their Hard Parts: alternators, starters, batteries water pumps, brakes, ignition, internal engine, fans, radiators. On about 95% of the boxes you will see the words, Made in Mexico or Made in China. We send them our jobs and tax dollars.

BTW, even though the parts are made in Mexico or China, the prices have never lowered from when they were made in the USA..they’ve actually gone up.

Totally agree with your assessment. The border could be secured NOW with little effort if it was so willed by the CIC.

Neither of the current candidates will secure it. We are going to see more of the same in regards to Illegal Immigration for some time to come, well until a REAL conservative hits the Whitehouse steps.

since your average Mexican politician and your average Mexican bureaucrat make considerably more money that US politicians and bureaucrats i think they should be paying us for the costs incurred by our border drug war. shit, we have the Mexican army making incursions into our country at the behest of drug lords…. I have no problem calling this what it is, a hostile invasion. we need to deal with it accordingly.
