#1 "We will dig under a wall, go over one. If the authorities over there want a war, we will fight."

If this does not infuriate you, you are not capable of being infuriated.

#2 It makes me laugh. These people are insufficiently serious to cause infuriation. It's sort of like how one reacts to the 1 year old who throws lunch from the high chair onto the floor. It will take time, it will take patience, but the children can be trained.

#3 Gutierrez, who was wearing a Washington Nationals baseball cap and a backpack carrying bottled water, said he had crossed three previous times and worked as a cook in Houston but was deported each time.

How about the next time he gets caught he does about 10 years in prison before he gets deported again?

Central Americans traveling without proper documents in Mexico face deportation and often complain of being beaten or extorted by corrupt authorities.

Jeez, why don't they have a big march in Mexico City to demand their "rights"?

#4 And in other news vandals decry streetlights and crooks condemn locked doors.

#5 You'll fight, you say? Works for me. Bring it on.

#6 Bush needs to turn the debate into a debate about the failure of Mexico.

Mexico is a failure and these proud-Mexicans that come to the US should either (a) be shamed Mexicans who want to be Yanks or (b) not come to the USA. It is the combination that is poison.

#7 This morning I went to www.congress.org and sent an email to my state senators and district rep at the same time. I'm trying to find the letter on the website now (I think it takes a few hours or maybe a day to post & unfortunately I didn't cut/paste it to a word doc) and cut and paste it to this thread so you can see the course of action I proposed wrt illegal immigration & securing the border. If any of you get the chance I highly recommend you telling your elected officials how you feel - good, bad, or indifferent. I did so but also proposed (somewhat coherently) solutions to the problem vice just whining.

There are so many people in congress that just need to go. As soon as I retire from the Corps I'm running for local, state, or federal - I have some time to figure which. I've had enough of this shite from these p*ssies.

#8 "If there were a wall here, or any other obstacle, we'd overcome it"

A fitting epitaph to post over a pile of bleached bones.

#9 You want a war? Do you even remember how badly you had your asses handed to you last time?

Broadhead6, post a link here when you do!

#10 DV - Want Mexico? LOL. Call the Texas Rangers. I'll bet they remember Jack Hays. His Texas Rangers did the dirty work, lead the attacks on fortified positions, maintained lines of communications, kept guerrilla forces off Scott's shiny US Army, and took the blame for any and all lapses of chivalry... some of it well deserved, LOL. The Rangers learned how to fight no-quarter war from the tribes they had to control. A lost skill we desperately need to re-acquire. They might enjoy a weekend outing. :)

#11 Hmmm...and just what does your own Constitution say...

Article 33 - Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualities determined in Article 30. They have the right to the guarantees of Chapter I of the first title of this Constitution, but the Executive of the Union has the exclusive right to expel from the national territory, immediately and without necessity of judicial proceedings, all foreigners whose stay it judges inconvenient. Foreigners may not, in any manner, involve themselves in the political affairs of the country.

But then of course it also says -

Article 34 - Citizens of the Republic are those men and women, who having the quality of Mexican nationality, have the following requisites besides:
I. Have attained the age of eighteen years;
II. Have an honest way of living.

which means that most politicians in Mexico are not citizens themselves.
