#1 I cannot say this enough: Venezuela under Hugo Chavez is the country to watch. He has enough money, hatred/resetment towards the US, and a fairly large muslim population to pose a clear and present danger.

#2 Statistically some 400,000 illegal immigrants are detained each year. Thousands every day.

But with only 19,000 detention cells to hold them, itâs a border battle Congressman Turner says we are losing.

"About 80 to 90 percent of those released into our country never show up for a hearing. You know that represents a serious security threat to this country and itâs got to stop."

The lawmakers agree on one clear message: "We need help!"

Why in the hell are we "detaining" these people???? Anyone caught sneaking across the U.S./Mexico border should be deported IMMEDIATELY, no questions asked. That'll solve the problem real quick.

It's not a matter of needing help, it's a matter of adjusting policy and procedure so as to not make it needlessly difficult for ourselves. If doing so means less "sensitivity" with regard to border jumpers, tough. This problem with illegal border-crossers has been going on for too long, and it's pretty obvious that playing nice isn't the answer.

#3 BAR-I like your idea of deportation, but there is a problem. If we do not have diplomatic relations with the detainee's country of origin, we cannot deport-we intern him instead-sometimes for decades. Paying room and board for terrorist scum for decades isn't going down my throat easily. Anyone know how many/which countries we do not have diplomatic relations with, and whether any of them are jihadist states?

#4 If we do not have diplomatic relations with the detainee's country of origin, we cannot deport-we intern him instead-sometimes for decades.

The solution is simple; the people picked up crossed over from Mexico, so they get immediately sent BACK to Mexico, regardless of their ethnicity, and regardless of what the Mexican authorities think. We should not be obliged to send back people any further than where they were caught crossing over from. If the Mexicans have a problem with this approach, then maybe they should do something about what's happening on THEIR side of the border.

#5 My question is why the hell dont we have the detetion facilities? We have known about this for years. I say lets start building detetion camps.

And isn't Venezuela under Hugo Chavez selling Venesuelain passports to AL-Q terrorists?

#6 We do have them, CF-I don't know the exact term-is it detention or internment, but that's what we do. I just don't like the idea of keeping them alive for years and years.

We need a immigration policy overhaul by the Bush administration. The current wooing of Vincente Fox and absolution of illegals makes me sick-it is putting our country at great risk.

#7 My question is why the hell dont we have the detetion facilities?

As I see it, the problem with more detention facilities is the pressure to use them instead of doing the right thing, which would be to send them back promptly. With adequate detention facilities (which cost $$$ to build, BTW), we end up with their occupants' upkeep for the time we have them, and the taxpayer inevitably ends up paying for this. ALL of it. (don't count on any Mexican peso contributions)

Ain't that just dandy?

Just shoot them on the spot where they are captured. Period.

And leave the bodies laying where they died to rot in the Sun.

Concurrently, we need an Israeli type wall with automated mini-guns, anti-personnel radar and a 300 yard deep minefield on the Mexican facing side.

I forgot the interlocking fields of fire. My bad.

It is WAY past time to get absofuckinglutely savage with these people.

On the other hand, we could just sit around and play Canasta.
