The river is a huge agricultural and recreational resource that a lot of people need access to, and building a minuteman-style fence along it would disrupt many folks’ lives. Plus, as Stormy mentioned, the miles and miles of deep canyons, and the two reservoirs, would pose their own set of problems.

A fence may indeed have to be built, but there seems to be no discussion of the tradeoffs involved.

BTW, since 2002, over $13,000,000 worth of marijuana has been seized on my grandparents’ ranch, which is north of the border, but near a BP checkpoint. Thanks a lot to all you potheads out there for providing the market for these creeps, so that my family can’t go on certain parts of the ranch at night.

As to the border between Texas and Mexico, many of those land owners now are being forced to sell out so the coyotes and drug runners will have easier access to the internals of this country. The ranchers down there don’t go anywhere unarmed
either.

The camera angle is just another way of tickling the ears of
the angry taxpayers. Cameras don’t physcially stop anyone.

A cute idea until you realize that it will never work.

Eyes of Texas to be on borderImpatient with feds, Perry says state will install Web cameras public can view SAN ANTONIO – Irked by what he called federal inaction on border security, Gov. Rick Perry unveiled state plans to install…

1) So, knowing where the cameras are (do you think THAT will be a well kept secret?)Juan and Jose run across the border, knock them out and a few dozen of their compadres run on through. Meanwhile, Juan and Jose go back to get paid for their efforts by el coyote, thus the two guys the authorities are looking for are nowhere to be found. But not to worry, they’ll be back another night to do more of the same.

2) Another scenario; some illegals are spied by Granny Greensprings and she makes the call. Will the response be quick enough to stop them or will they be halfway to Omaha before someone answers the phone? Having once waited 20 minutes for the police after making a 911 call, I have my doubts. Oh yeah, I made the call less than two miles from the station in a whitebread suburban neighborhood.

3) What are the chances someone making the call is answered by a recording that begins, “Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Spanish”.

The term “posturing” comes to mind.

Why do I sense that illegally trespassing on American soil won’t be considered “a crime?”

If they don’t have a ‘strike team’ with arrest powers within five minutes of each camera, the invaders will be long gone by the time anyone official responds, if indeed anyone ever does actually respond.

They will have made a nice target for vandals though.

More useless political maneuvering; a dog and pony show designed to fool the masses without having any actual effect on the illegal alien invasion.

Look how much fake ID sellers care about the current or new laws in this country:

Jorge Boosch is not a true Texan. His family and roots are in Kennebunkport, Maine. Money and savvy politics got him elected governer. This is becoming all to apparent to the non-believers here in Texas as GW shows his true self. All hat, no cattle.

This is OBVIOUSLY racist because it is aimed at, profiles, and will catch only illegal immigrants.

Errr. . . I mean migrants. Ummm. . .I mean temporary workers. Uhhh. . .I mean guest workers. I mean. . .
