Another Border Agent killed

[Goodburbon]

It is time to shoot on sight. anyone crossing the border will be shot until dead. there is no other way.

once things are under control and the bodies are piled up, the good people trying to get across can come through using the proper channels. The bad guys will probably find other ways across but if we come down with an iron fist on them and the mexican government we will eventually win.

But we will not do that. it's too "insensitive" and racist to shoot people invading your country.

And who will do all this casual killing?

I think when most people say "seal the border" they're speaking of the physical border in between actual legal crossing areas.

I haven't met anyone who says they want to seal off the entire border. Of course, I don't associate with those kinds of people either.

I see. So just keep the Mexicans out.

Just remember, when shooting women and children, you don't have to lead them so far.

Well THAT's putting words in my mouth.

NO, not "just keep the mexicans out".

Just prevent crossings other than at checkpoints, require passports so you know who is coming and going and how long they're staying, just the same as any other port of entry. Like international airports for instance.

BP, farmers who are allowed to protect their personal property, volunteers....you know ARFCOM is full of them. National guard, the .mil, police.

At this point, I think our country is in an economic war as well as a drug war.

sorry, but this is NOT the same as when the irish, english, chinese etc. all came over

the estimate of illegal immigrants in the US is between 10-20 million. 56% are from mexico and 22% from other latin american countires which use the mexican border as their point of entry.

8-10% of the babies born in the US every year are to at least 1 illegal immigrant parent.


we are being over run. bottom line.

There should be multiple, relatively simple paths to citizenship for non-violent criminals; just like our ancestors had when they came here (sans the vetting process).

Uhhh, newsflash, but there are "multiple, relatively simple paths to citizenship for non-violent criminals". I know, because I'm an immigrant. They're called visas, and there's lots of them in place already.

I came here 100% legally - followed all the steps to process, did the interviews, paid my dues, and followed the damned rules to gain the privilege to live here, unlike these river-swimming criminals that bring their entire families over to live off the government tit. Guess who pays for them? The fine, law-abiding citizens & residents of this country.

As a legal immigrant to this fantastic country, nothing pisses me off more than those who choose to circumvent the laws which are already in place for immigration control. I did it legally, why the hell can't they?

Am I for "sealing the borders"? Abso-f*cking-lutely.

I'm fine with that. I don't think that's what most folks mean when they say, "seal the border" though. Usually it's more along the lines of, "put up a big wall and shoot on sight."

Are you 100% Native American?

I can't comprehend this attitude of, "now that I'm here, don't let anyone else in." We need serious immigration reform in this country, but sealing the borders is not it. There should be multiple, relatively simple paths to citizenship for non-violent criminals; just like our ancestors had when they came here (sans the vetting process).

I see. So just keep the Mexicans out.

Are you trolling or stirring? I'm not saying to not permit immigration into America- I'm saying reduce the amount of illegal immigration, close the border except where already established entry is permitted, and we might be able to stem the tide of drugs, murder, guns, money, etc. from coming back and forth.
