It’s a 3000 km border and we should have a military fort every 100 km.

How much is that in real measurement?

I am the virtual fence.

Ditto. Even here in Delaware.

Oh, I don’t know, Ed. The redneck baby boomers need something to do in retirement. I could easily see this catching on with the Minutemen types.

I worked with a Hispanic ex-Navy man who became a Border Patrolman. He told me how things really went at the El Paso border. A railroad bridge (the “black bridge”) crosses into the U.S.A South West of downtown. He and his partner would be in their patrol car on the U.S. side and would see more and more illegal aliens (not ‘undocumented immigrants”) gathering on the Mexican side of the border.
***
Finally hundreds of them would run over the bridge and start throwing large rocks at the patrolmen–who hid behind their cars and could not shoot or nightstick the aliens. They would have all windows smashed out of their car, and would grab two of the aliens, stuff them in their car, and would take them to the holding facility. The hundreds of other aliens would disappear into El Paso near U.T.E.P.–a good place to rob students / take their cars.
***
I don’t think watching this on T.V. or on your computer and phoning ICE (the new Border Patrol) is going to help much. Agents on the scene can barely help. BUILD THE BORDER FENCE–A REAL ONE! Give ICE some real help.

Solution:

-Give the Border Patrol Agents the tools to do their job.
Electric Fence, maybe?
-Tell the governors in Kalifornia, New Jersey, New York that are begging for money from the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to pack sand until they do something about their illegal alien problem. Allow their law enforcement officers to do their jobs and deport people that shouldn’t be in our country. I DON’T GIVE A FIG IF SOME ILLEGAL ALIEN IS AFRAID TO REPORT A CRIME BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE POLICE. THEY SHOULD BE AFRAID BECAUSE THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW! THEY CAN REPORT THE CRIME BACK IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY.
-Correct the bastardization of the fourteenth amendment. I am tired of paying for the kiddies of illegal aliens. It is a v-gina, not a Pez dispenser.
-Go after the illegal alien employers, if you don’t use E-Verify, you KNEW you may have illegal aliens. Fine by the illegal and put them in jail by the illegal. Also, as citizens, boycott those industries that employ and cater to illegal aliens and patronize those that DON’T!
-I know this is a moot point since the messiah is going to turn our country into a third world cesspool.

This is not helpful, “Bert.” And you misspelled “aliens.”

FAILIANS.

10 drops, meet ocean. (BTW, that’s $200,000 per drop.)

Call me when they live feed from predator drones on the border.

This is not helpful, “Bert.” And you misspelled “aliens.”

If it ain’t hooked up to robotic twin .50s, why bother?

I heard that!

gridlock2 on November 21, 2008 at 10:26 AM

Good idea, but let’s require that at least five more persons agree that the target is a clear and present danger before allowing fire.

Same thing with predators equipped with SDBs (Small diameter bombs)

If an illegal paints himself with Photoblocker paint, does he look like the Predator when he moves?

No flash. He’s just sparckly.

If these things are even the least bit successful, Mexican drug lords will just bombard the site with false reports until it becomes impossible for the Border Patrol to respond to any reports.

Good point. There might be ways around that, but you might also get the problem of crossers using it as a free form organization tool–if you see a group crossing, you know resources will be tied up catching them, so it would be a good time to cross somewhere else.
On the other hand, just having the stream people out there where everyone can see might get more Americans involved.
