U.S. Proposes Unmanned Border Entry With Mexico

BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, Texas –  The bloody drug war in Mexico shows no sign of relenting. Neither do calls for tighter border security amid rising fears of spillover violence.

This hardly seems a time the U.S. would be willing to allow people to cross the border legally from Mexico without a customs officer in sight. But in this rugged, remote West Texas terrain where wading across the shallow Rio Grande undetected is all too easy, federal authorities are touting a proposal to open an unmanned port of entry as a security upgrade.

They should just have Eric Holder standing there with a big Welcome to America sign, passing out guns. :banghead:

Anyone ever seen the scene in Gangs of New York where Tammany Hall workers are meeting the Irish coming off the boat?

Another bright idea by the BRILLO-pad president.

I somewhat understand the proponents rationale for the Idea. Overall though I think it's Counterproductive. So what if the Mexicans have to travel for miles to cross legally even if they crossed legally at the proposed site they still have to travel for miles to get to anywhere.

The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.
