I love to exchange insults with people on bills and such, but this is getting very serious. We have to get ICE to do what they get paid to do and use our military to protect our country instead of that lousy sand pit in the middle east IMO. I don't have all the answers on this one, but we have got to address this right now.
Living here I can agree that its out of hand. Even when the joke of a Governer we had at the time(Open Borders Janet) sent the guard to the border she sent them unarmed. The Mexican army came across the border and confronted them sending them scurrying back calling for assistance(all they could do) Mexico made its point and the influx continues to this day. The Mexican govt prints brochures on how to illegally enter the US. What a f*cking joke.

The desert around here is 3 deep in dead bodies from drug running and imigres who couldn't pay the ransom once they got snatched from their coyote. People show up dead each and every single day and the Feds do nothing. Utah is now drafting their own version of the AZ law and I put money on it that Colo. is next.

Feds won't do their job this is what happens

Call up the National Guard and get this farce over with: if they're not deployed due to a previous farce...

There wasn't even any police, we policed ourselves.

The current 'minutemen' have been very good. The only problems have been the lefties protesting them.

I've been seeing it in discount stores in the $4.99 racks. At that price it's almost silly not to buy it.

Right. Shawna Forde was no problem at all.

The whole thing started as an attempt to "close wage disparities".

She has been convicted? Besides, real cops have been tossed in jail too - should we disband them?

I once worked as a consultant/writer for a project that would have constructed an electronic fence along the border. We were bidding on a Homeland Security RFQ, never heard from the company afterward so I guess they did not win.

There are currently cameras on high towers at intervals but they work fitfully and really do not help very much.

I recall accessing the DHS website at the time, near as I could tell the only thing they had accomplished since their inception was to design a new shoulder patch for all the customs agents.
