Great, that means pissed off coast to coast, you in CA and me in VA
Maybe if everyone gets PO'd then something sensible will get done.

Oh jeez what am I thinking . . .

For the first time i just now got around to reading about the mexican incursions into our borders....I had heard about it but never in so much detail, i mean, what kinda **** is that? Big ass electric fence, minefields, and some of those australian weapons that are automated sentry guns are needed. Dont remember the names, but they look like a box. can be manned or automated.and can fire a million rounds a minute, from 9mm to 40mm grenades. might be thunderstorm. anyway thats what we need, some serious **** to stop this...im so tired of people rallying for "let the immigrants in, help them" blah blah, do it legally or kiss ass.

The thing is fellas, and this is whats REALLY bad, is that no ones doing anything about it, and if u think its bad now, the future is gonna be alot worse.... ALOT!

When will politicians stop worrying about the Hispanic vote and worry about OUR vote???? Will my sons' son be an immigrant in some other country, and the Star Spangled Banner sung in Spanish????

I have personally been to the border and witnessed illegals coming across with NVGs, and its about as frustrating as u can imagine....

Oh, that's a good idea! On which side of the border do you wish to perforate all these civilians? The Mexican side? Okay, then the US would be responsible for the indiscriminate killing of Mexican (mostly) civilians on Mexican soil . . . bet they'd really like that. And if we wait until they on our side? "Live on CNN . . . border crossers turned into so much hamburger by un-manned robot weapons . . . film on the hour." Or worse "Our live coverage will show US soldiers gunning down civilian men, women, and children . . . film at 11:00."

And no, only in the movies does one use a machine gun to warn someone off.

. . . can fire a million rounds a minute, from 9mm to 40mm grenades. might be thunderstorm. anyway thats what we need . . .

This kind of statement is not only irresponsible, it is just plain dumb. My mother's family came to these shores in 1620 and my father's in 1640. I am not prepared to see a situation where the US is responsible for the gunning down of unarmed civilians just because they want to come to this country, legal or otherwise. Are you? And what could possibly be your justification?
