[...] cross-border culture?” Like the hellish, head-chopping, kidnapping and lawlessness striking fear on both sides of the border? “Fragile environment?” [...]

It seems as odd as it is sad that the same government who wants to confer OUR “constitutional rights” on illegal aliens (and more but I will not discuss that here) yet is just as quick to relieve us of our God-given rights and all the while, ignore one of the “few and well defined” powers that they really are given according to our constitution.

I am afraid it will take more than just a few aspirin to make this headache go away.

While I advocate sealing the border by whatever lawful means at our disposal (i.e. militarization), we Americans need to make a decision.

Most of the narco-terrorism in Mexico is a result of the demand for illicit drugs in this country.

We need to decide whether to legalize drugs OR crack down on the consumers in this country. It’s ridiculous to demand that Mexico or whoever cut off the supply. We don’t have the stomach for the battle here so we fix it so the really harsh stuff goes on somewhere else. Short of summary executions in the field, the lure of big money is stronger than the fear of arrest (especially given that the vast sums involved can be used to compromise government officials).

If we’re serious then we start meting out draconian sentences for people possessing a joint or miniscule amount of cocaine (or whatever they’re snorting these days). And we start executing traffickers caught in this country (and building all the prison space it will take to hold all these people).

It’s that or legalization (which I think will just cause far more misery as more people take up the habit). Of course, we’ll have to create more “helping agencies” to assist addicts and their neglected kids and so on.

It’s a tough choice – I don’t know what the answer is.

Probably because it doesn’t fit with the story that they are all coming here just to make a living that all the news media are trying to shove down our throats.

Who wants to take a guess that somehow this will be used to paint every Mexican citizen as a refugee seeking asylum. Abierto de floodgates.

When even Mexico’s Grand Warlock is predicting it, you know it’s true !

I’m all for citizen arrest. It’s not racism to follow Mexican law, is it?

How about a 2 fence solution? One on the border and 1; a hundred yards inside our border? Allow a free-fire zone between, for scope-sighting purposes, of course. Alternatively, let’s use Mexican law; which allows citizen arrest of suspected illegal aliens, against them.

I don’t think it will take that long, TXRose. I live in Weatherford and have decided we’re already being overrun.

Having been raised right on the border,
I know that there are illegals living in all of the border
towns and illegals coming across to attend our schools and this has been going on since both of our
countries came into being. The only way to stop this
is to either put our military, shoulder to shoulder, on
the border or build an impregnable fence that cannot
be tunneled under. I do not see either of these things
happening, so we may be overrun by illegals within
the next five years. Then what?

My grandfather rode with the calvary when he was a young 16 year old soldier looking for Villa. I have a picture of a group of soldiers standing by a jiro plane which looked like a crude helocopter from then. Perhaps it was used also in the search.

If only our govt cared enough now like they did then to protect our borders….sigh…
