Burgold Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Well, it's about time. Someone should be ensuring that illegal aliens have a safe escort into the country without being harrassed by frustrated citizenry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the half assed measure this will be we can find a soldier or two to go to the border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hey, it's a move in the right direction. Who cares about the motivation? What other motivation is there besides political implications anyway? Give the dude some credit, he saw the writing on the wall and he's reacting to it.

skinfan2k Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 i wish we built quick sand through the entire border. and then those illegals would sink.. this country is getting populated with illegal immigrants. and i think its time for america to have a immigration quota. Only 1 million individual from the entire world can enter each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th Commandment Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Man how ironic that I have more faith in it than you guys. There are more elections after this one. The RNC is making waves on this behind the scenes too, rest assured. They want to win in 08. If I were the naysayer you'd be jumping on me like a cat on a mouse.

SkinsHokieFan Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Silly move, won't do much If you want to really seal the border you would put 40 thousand troops there with Ak-47's locked and loaded in shoot to kill mode How many will be down there? 1k at most?

Baculus Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Unless there is a physical means to stop anyone from crossing the border, then it will be difficult, even with US military, to provide a great deterrent. And SkinsHokieFan, you just suggested an idea that would make us sound like a reverse- East Germany. :-P I am not sure if we want to just mow down anyone that approaches the border. The idea is just to make it impossible to use that entry point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC4 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I wonder how long it will take the Mexican government to complain about this move, If they do then someone needs to call them hypocrites due to the fact that they have the Mexican army on their southern border with Guatemala and Belize to prevent the very same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oour friggin government has evdently been informing the Mexican government on the location of the Minutemen. I wonder if they'll tell the Mexicans where our six troops will be stationed as well?

Not a widely known fact, but I have seen the video. They actually crossed the border. The video was a shot by the El Paso Fox station and presented to congress at the beginning of this whole fiasco. http://www.kfoxtv.com/video/6686423/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Well, there is another issue, too, in regards to using troops at the US border: US military and CIA trained Mexican (and central American) military and paramilitary being used to infiltrate the border and kill law enforcement officers, and others, in the South West US. This has been asserted by individuals such as Celerino Castillo, a Vietnam veteran and former DEA agent, that these trained killers are being used by drug gangs, including those with ties to regional military, the CIA, and the DEA. http://www.infowars.com/articles/world/mexican_drug_commandos.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
