The Texas Plan is to call up the Bubba Force to police it's borders as neither the State,National or local governments are willing to protect the citizens of Texas.

The Minutemen and Militia were designed for this purpose by our Patriot fathers. There's nothing wrong with a little amplified surveillance. I do believe we ought to leave the shooting to the Peace Officers though. We just 'oughta be ready if they ask us Patriots for help. You must understand that if our Country asks us Patriots for help, things are in dire straits. So just be ready and report what you see to the Police, they have secure networks to get the word out and the ability to strike appropriately.

The cartels discount our force as negligible. So let's help our Police Force by being those extra eyes and ears that the cartels don't expect.

Somebody ought to tell the Mayor!!

IF these politicians faced reality in the first place, we'd have been much further along in organizing and deploying appropriate response.

The proponents of The keep da border open at all costs will have been THE ULTIMATE PRICE now to be paid.

...We the people expect our elected to represent us.

Public safety and National Security trump commerce.

SEALING the border to stop smuggling in both directions is required.

Full inspections at ports of entry with a "wartime" focus on contraband is required.

All else is failure... and that has governed so far..

Spillover in Texas is negligible compared to Arizona. Try living in Phoenix or Tucson for a while.

One reason Arizona is a cartel war zone is because of liberal governors like Janet Napolitano. They have had some good governors, but Napolitano and the last female governor both got the office by default. The Phoenix and Tucson gay press, in concert with the drug lords, have turned State and local law enforcement agencies into wimps.

Now, as Head of Homeland Security, look for Napolitano's kid-glove policies to acquisce to the spillover of violence and terrorism into all Border States, and the country as a whole. Remember, Napolitano is the lawyer who represented the psychopathic liar, Anita Hill, in her effort to ruin the career of conservative Clarence Thomas, who, to their gay chagrin, now sits on the Supreme Court.

Homeland Security official affirms Mexican drug cartel violence...OK, so what's your next move? We don't need violence from Mexico's drug runners and criminal militias ruling our border towns, so isn't it past time for you to preserve, protect, and defend as your oath of office specifies?

Citizens are not equipped to deal with para-military style weapons and tactics. This is a job for the U.S. Military. What good is a watching patriot brigade without substantial back-up? What good does it do to report illegal activities across our border if the DHS and other military operations or law enforcement teams are not involved and coming to counter this violence?

What a joke. No wonder we have problems. These bureaucrats don't seem to care what happens as long as it's not on their lawn or in their back yards. They should be removed from office.

It doesn't matter because what we as americans choose to do, BECAUSE we give them rights which is more then they have ever had! We give them shelter with people they are use to being around, it's called prison! We give them food regularly which is more then they have ever had! We give them FREE representation!
WHY WOULDN'T THEY KEEP COMING?
We need to start treating them the way they are accustomed to in Mexico, no rights as you are a criminal! We will feed you WHEN ane WHAT we want! And finally if they should happen to die in custody we will put their ashes in a coffee can and send them home!!!

Public safety should come first. Outrageous violence and offical lawlessness triggered by the drug war will end with repeal just as these policy created problems disappeared with repeal of alcohol prohibition. Across America paramilitary drug raids trigger violence rather than lesson the risk. http://www.cato.org/raidmap/

Please visit www.DrugWarDebate.com to ask YOUR state and federal representatives to support a blue ribbon commission reviewing the effectiveness of drug prohibition. Our corrupt system atracts those interested in milking it for all it is worth. Restore justice and attract more of those who will make the system run with the milk of human kindness.

Does anyone you know or love have cancer? I know 11,000 people recently raced for a cure, but it seems we are running from the cure. It is down right sinister, a crime against humanity, for the medicinal uses of cannabis to be suppressed.
http://www.phoenixtears.ca/diy.html

Considering the oppression, the bloodshed and corruption triggered by the new prohibition; the worst public policy since slavery is a simmering scandal and disgrace more explosive than sex in the oval office!

Whats gonna happen when you 'SEAL' the border dummy? Throw a party & have major riots when all the druggies cant get their next hit or dose??

Sealing will cause the price to increase & one way or another there will be corruption and smuggling will be completed once again.

Dont be too naive, once over there drug organizations have BETTER distribution than Wal-Mart's! Think about how can they distribute all across the US on their own? They'd need help obviously from a few rotten apples.

Go against the users too. If ideally nobody or less people over there wants it or buys it what do you think will happen to the illegal drug market?(ECON101 law of supply & demand)

But as always in Capitalism, theres more $$$ in fighting a war than ending it.
