    Seems like the only thing our govt/President has done to protect us in Texas versus illegals and their drugs and guns is to give them MORE guns to use against us?

    What the heck is that???

    Bush did nothing as well. None of them want it closed.

    For the same reason Bush didn't do anything about the border... Many other irons in the fire.

    Latest news is that Mexicans have stopped crossing the border as we are no longer that attractive.

    Probably because we have already reached the saturation point for available jobs and free handouts to crimaliens? Thinking about cashing out my life and then crossing the border to get a job in Cancun selling drugs and kidnapped hookers to vacationers? :roll:

    Obama NEEDS the Brown vote..
    Then its business as usual..screw the little brown people.

    Sooner or later they will realize they are being PLAYED..and vote for a stronger economy..for everyone..not just RICH DEMOCRATS.

    Easily said from someone who lives about as far away from Mexico as possible... work visas are great if we can implant chips in the workers to keep track of them since once they come here to work, they NEVER go back.

    You are very correct, Margot.

    Especially when you say, "Latest news is that Mexicans have stopped crossing the border as we are no longer that attractive."

    Actually, that is not completely true. The wealthy Mexican drug dealers and their highly-paid "mules" continue to cross our borders and come here. I understand the drugs of choice by their customers on our side of the border these days are marijuana, methamphetamines and oxycodone.

    Most Mexicans in this country are good, hard-working Americans who want nothing more than to provide a decent living for their families and a good education for their children. Will they will join together and help us fight back the radicals in the "La Raza" movement such as the misguided, easily led people shown above who want to annex and return our proud U.S. communities in Texas, Arizona and southern California to Aztlan, the legendary homeland of the Aztecas?

    Forget the cost, and forget the fence itself, how do you police a 2,000 mile long fence 24/7?

    No... sorry, but the majority of Mexicans in my part of the US are crimaliens... not Americans. I'd like to provide a decent living for my family and kids too but I won't rob a bank to do so... which is what crimaliens do when they cross the border illegally.
    And, most PROUD Mexican communities in this part of the country don't speak english, don't cooperate with police and just suck off the biggest liberal teat they can find while taking jobs which were usually filled by our now unemployed kids and undereducated... aka construction and the like.
    Those were jobs which helped me to pay for college and now which are Spanish speaking jobs only, when even available. ARGH... don't get me started.

    Not surprising at all. Look at Mexico. The more and more of them that come here ... the uneducated ones without valuable skills that is, the closer our country will look like theirs. Its so blazingly obvious, you have to wonder what kind of mental disorder people have that want to invite them all in with open arms. ... We can easily solve our illegal immigration problem by cracking down on the companies who hire them. They come here for jobs so they can work and send money back to their relatives who live in Mexico. If there are no jobs for them they will gladly return to Mexico where they belong. The Democrats want desperately to keep them here so they can vote and appoint more liberal politicans to Congress.

    Immigrants have been critical to this nations economic growth over the years. We will face a manpower shortage in the years forthcoming. Due to certain demographics, we will be coveting immigrants by 2050.

    Look at the NAFTA Superhighway as a case in point. From the Clinton Administration onward, the goal has been to create more unity and free trade opportunity. For the relatively skeptical citizenry, selling this point is difficult. Thats why Presidents use Executive Orders... Bush used a North American Prosperity Partnership and Obama his newest manuver.

    Because he, like other informed people including the last president, realize how essential immigrants are to our economy and that closing the border is the ultimate case of cutting of your nose to spite your face.

    How many unemployed Americans do we have? Cut that (*)(*)(*)(*) off and then the immigration problems go away, unemployment shrinks and yes many will get assistance still but it is a hella lot less then the (*)(*)(*)(*)ers contributing nothing. Deport Americans!
