When is our Military going to be sent to the southern border to defend this Nation?

Are border patrol people armed? Even with bean bag "guns"? The Mexicans need to lose a few choppers.

Wow. This is like a big time no no in most President's books.

Mexico feels quite safe doing this to a country with no leader.

They missed on purpose....so as to distract the agents while coyotes slipped the drugs and 2 bus loads of kids into the US.

It probably was a diversionary tactic to let smugglers through. O'Reilly is right, it's time to put the military on the border. Including anti-aircraft weapons.

We should have boarded up that border after 911. Still can't understand why we didn't. :mad:

If there was ever a case for the need for eminent domain, this is it. A proper, functioning government would buy out all the landholders within 25 miles of our southern border, and convert it to a weapons testing range, for the full gamut of ordnance, from mines and booby traps to nukes and persistent nerve gas. Nogales and Nuevo Loredo should have to pay annual protection money, to avoid getting irradiated - or worse.
Yeah, I know; the government which currently obtains is considerably less than the above ideal, but hey, a guy can dream, right? :fuelfire:
