Deploying the National Guard to the Mexican Border

As stated in a previous post I fell its long over due, we have had a problem for decades, we really need more border patrol officers as it is they are spred pretty thin...

Just a few facts:

The United States Border Patrol is the thin green line of men and women who protect America's borders.
They struggle to do their job with fewer resources than any similar service in the world.
They guard the 6,000 miles of our border with one tenth as many people as are in the New York City police department.
They stand alone.

More than 1,000 have been killed or wounded protecting America.
Today, the United States Border Patrol has 11,000 agents on the line to protect our borders. More than 9,500 of these agents are stationed along our 2,000-mile southern border, and for a very good reason. According to government sources, nearly 99.6% of all people arrested entering our country illegally are citizens of Mexico.

Due to unchecked terrorism, illegal immigration, and the illegal importation of drugs, other agencies have increased the responsibilities of the Border Patrol. Under Title 21 U.S.C., the Border Patrol’s ability to assist the Drug Enforcement Agency has been increased. In addition, under Title 19 U.S.C., The Border Patrol has been tasked with responsibilities to support US Customs.


This is the wall that seperates california fro mexico at the pacific


This is the same wall but 40miles inland, the roads are for BPO's
note the straight black line thats the 8' steel wall.


Again the 8' steel wall


These are concrete pilons spaced less than 8" apart to keep
smugglers out..

Why pay for it when its public information thru our wonderful media outlets..\
BTW, they supposedly filled it with concrete..

 

Hell, I think we should shoot them all at the border! How dare they come into this country looking for a better life for themselves. With them being all terrorists and such. Taking away good American jobs from decent law abiding Americans. Who are here legally, mind you! I say, erect the fence, along the entire border. America for Americans, as long as they are white, that's what I say....

Wow, that was scary! I actually put myself in the mindset of a Republican and just started ranting, not really caring about anyone. (editors note: the above are actual comments made by co-workers who are Republican and in the military, I know they don't represent ALL Republicans, so relax )

Obviously putting a fence up along the border will not work. Look at Berlin as an example. Where there is a will, there is a way. Mexicans will come across the border. Have always, will always. They do jobs we don't want to do. Let's find a way to keep them here legally, incorporate them into the American life, let them pay taxes, and let them have the American dream like our ancestors did. And above all-treat them with respect. The majority of them are hard working and just want a better life for themselves and the family.
