This is why we need better security on the Mexican Border....this is why AZ. passed their law.

When are we going to get serious about our border there? Wouldn't it make sense to have kind of an open no-go zone near the fence? Instead they actually let people stack stuff up against it. What a joke.

I really think this is going to lead to a real war on our borders. You watch, if they start killing cops on American soil. There will be thousands of American citizens on the AZ, Mexico border that will start shooting people they see crossing illegally. Mark my words. It is getting serious.

It's obvious you are just a white racist who hates brown people like Pedro for coming into the US to do jobs Americans won't do like picking fruit to feed his family. How can you be so cruel? Think about his children.

God I hope that was sarcasm. I really do.

I don't think most Pedros who come to pick fruit are members of drug cartels.

Conflating them doesn't help address the very real problem of the cartels deciding to try to manipulate the LE system in the US (which is bullshit), or of violence in Mexico, or of illegal immigration.

Yeah, if we have armed guards every 100 feet that will stop a lot of people. For roughly 3000 miles of border, that's only 160,000 armed guards. Of course, we probably ought to consider doing the same with Canada if we want to make it clear that it's illegals that we want out, and not just Mexicans.

Unless you've got those poor guards working 24 hours a day, you're really talking about 480,00 guards, and probably well over 100,000 support personnel.

Good, because I was about to unleash my family tree on you. It would make your head spin. I may be a lot of things, but a racist is not one of them.

Only 54,000 with the right training & weapons!

more jobs to train them. I think we have fixed the unemployment rates in the country.

Then let's make it clear we want criminals out. Whether it be those entering into the US illegally to take jobs from Americans or those running drugs and threatening our LEO's. A criminal is a criminal. The idea that we must enforce our border with Canada the same way we enforce our border with Mexico to achieve some illogical racial parity is poorly thought out.

It is full of blacks, Native Americans, Jews, Germans and even some of those brown people from down south. Even some from Peru. You should see a family get together. When I introduce someone to my Black grandmother, my Peruvian father and my white mother. Then it gets real interesting when you throw great grand parents in. Seeing a German, Jew married to a half black and half Native American. People get confused.

Sorry but you can not judge and label yourself
There are others here who will do that for you.

You can’t believe how many times I have been told I was something or labeled something

I had no idea I was any of them what so ever.

But now I know better

Ok ok

but I was only talking about the racists thing

Quade, billvon and DreamDancer seem to be the only ones who know what racism really is so, you may be any or all of those other things you list but, you cant call the racism label. (based on how many times they have made the claim against others on this site)

(and I have no idea if you are or are not any of those other names you list)

Paul and Bill are two of the nicest guys I have ever met. Meet them in person and the views they have don't seem so bad once you know them as real people and not just mods on dz.com

This I totally beleive. But more than one of us here has been called a racists by one or more of these three at one time or another (if not directly through insinuation)

What would you say if they did the same to you?

Anyway
My posts were tongue in cheek with just a bit of edge to it

Nope. This is why we need to legalize drugs. Without the huge underground economy the cartels would have no financial reason to be threatening US law enforcement.

Guess that is a another debate. Seems that is the way the country is moving anyways. Well at least for weed. The rest I think should stay illegal.

Or if Mexican govt could get rid of all the corruption they have in their LE and Military and do something to help their own people with jobs in their own country then maybe we would see less of this activity as well.

Instead they (mexican politicians) come here and complain about our immigration laws instead of fixing their country.
