Maybe we should secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws.

Oops, what was I thinking?

Sorry, Janet.

Have you ever seen the esteemed Director of Homeland Security? IMO that one border you're talking about is her a$$ - it's certainly wide enough to be desrving of the title - and she'll do anything she has to do to defend it against all comers there in wishy-washing town.

"The Community Organizer" could not have made a better choice, Napolitano sure knows her stuff, friggin idiot. This country has become a joke in short order.


Napolitano Tries to Make Amends With Canada Over 9/11 Misstatement
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano caused an uproar in Canada last month for saying in an interview that the Sept. 11 terrorists crossed from Canada.

WOW Richard! Are you saying that our Janet is a bit broad across the beam? My, My. This whole current regime is about as organized as a soup sandwich.

As far as the border goes that is honestly a cheap fix. You have all along the southern border various branches of the Armed Forces. You could start at California and going through Texas.

The Armed Forces could use the edges of these border states as bombing ranges and impact areas for the larger artillery pieces. I think this would serve to curb the influx of illegals.

Or is this being insensitive?

Ah-ha! H&I fire to create a DMZ (De-Mexicanized Zone)? Sounds like a plan.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!..... I made the mistake of double-clicking on that thumbnail and the damn picture blew up to almost full screen size. I think I burnt my retinas

Richard, you need to post warning lables and/or discaimers before you post stuff like that.

Chuck recently attended a seminar about the border area and the criminal element. Obviously he couldn't tell me 100% of what was talked about but had some interesting things to say on the points he could discuss.

From what he said, you are right to be concerned. What would you suggest be done to secure the borders and what advice would you give ICE on enforcement?

How many would it take?

Given the extensive knowledge base of this TEAM (QP), I suggest we format a real solution, kinda like planning if we were the ones in charge.

It may be us someday having to do it for real.

I suspect that they are under strict instructions from the administration not to interfere with illegals crossing the southern border. Too much riding on pandering to the Hispanic vote.

Looks like Janet feels that the Canadians are the bigger threat anyway.

What would I suggest?

Build the damn fence from the Gulf to the Pacific, double the number of BP agents, put the Guard on the border, deny social services to illegals, end the anchor baby program, deport the illegals, arrest their employers, incarcerate people breaking the laws of this country, open a visa application office in every town in Mexico with more than 50,000 residents for anyone with a clean record who wants to work here, run background checks, issue alien worker IDs, and run a bus service for them.

None of that is going to happen, though it is all feasible, if we want to secure our borders and enforce our laws. At least not until Beslan happens here or a city gets nuked. Then we may get serious.

How to secure the Mexican border

The best and cheapest way to secure the border was proposed by former Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman. He proposed the 5 Mexican General Plan. You divide the border into 5 districts. (He was referring to Texas only, but it could be expanded). You hire a Mexican general for each district and put, say $5,000,000 in a pot for each general. Every time an illegal was captured on our side of the border in a district, an amount was deducted from that general's pot. The general got what was left at the end of the year. The beauty of the plan, according to Kinky, was his Mexican friends were not at all offended, so it was politically correct, but they also felt, damn, it might work! I might vote for Kinky again!
