Who is coming across the border

#1

Post by Kythas »

According to this story the public is being mislead as to who is coming into the US from Mexico. This is a story reported by WSB TV in Atlanta.

Good reason to build the great wall of America. This is disturbing news.

This doesn't get nearly enough news coverage - I wonder why. Between OTMs and drug running cartels, you would think this wouldn't be such a politicized issue, just smart national security policy.

Incredibly chilling. And highly informative. Why this isn't part of ALL the major networks' "nightly news" is beyond me. It should be! :mad5

Kudos go out to WSB Atlanta for some excellent investigative reporting! :thumbs2: :thumbs2: :tiphat:

The curent administration just wants to get along with everybody including the OTM's. While some of 'em may be relatives, they are all future voters. You reckon that has anything to do with it?

The previous administrations didn't do such a hot job of stopping these illegals either. One party wants their votes and the other party wants their cheap labor.

I still say fire 'em all (in Washington) and let's over! :patriot:

It's amazing that the ancient Chinese Can build a wall 3000 miles long, a couple stories high, and wide enough to drive a car on and here the "Great America" can't or won't.

the ancient Chinese wouldn't meet OSHA or EPA standards.... then there's the labor union thing, permits, zoning regulations, Bureau of Indian Affairs studies, more permits, more studies.....


ever wonder how we built the "Big Inch Pipeline" during WWII?

Former Congressman J.D. Hayworth (in the video) has been one of my favorites since his time as a freshman congressman from Arizona during the Gingrich revolution. Arizona and the nation would be in much better shape if he is able to take McCain's seat in this coming senatorial election. That is one "non-Texas" race I am watching very closly. Wish I could "vote early-vote often" in the Arizona Senate race.

If we were to place 1 person every yard along our 2000 mile southern border it would require about 10.5 million people (3 shifts / 8 hours)Provide each with a U.N. home built side by side and 3 meals a day. I''l bet you can find enough Chinese that will be more then happy to stay there and guard our border better then our current money hole system and they will never ask for a hand out. Ya I know it has holes but it would work.

:iagree: , where's there a will, there's a way. The operative word is "will" as in desire.

personally I wouldn't want the UN or any other bunch of foreign thugs on our side of the boarder. I would consider them on par with the current hoodlams crossing the borders now.

No NO NO I am talking about the homes the UN throws up in poor countries. It is a small one room hut basically. I agree no U.N. Troops in US.

I suggest that we all pay for ads on the radio, newspaper, and TV out of our own pockets to distribute the truth. If you cannot afford an ad, then please write a letter to your neighbors and slip them underneath their doors, hand them to your neighbors, or mail them. Target minorities, because I've found that once people have the facts, even Mexican American citizens will support the Arizona immigration law. Many minorities sit on the fence about many conservative issues simply because they lack all the facts. However, once presented with all the facts, I have never met one who cannot be convinced to vote for Arizona's immigration law and support the 2nd Amendment.

I'm going to find a Spanish newspaper (do they exist?) and post an ad in it.... Add to this a Korean, Viet, Indian, Pakistani, and Chinese newspapers, too. Hey, any members who know these languages please PM me and offer your services for translation. Thanks.
