A U.S.Border Patrol agent in Yuma, Arizona, says that since the triple fence was finished in October, there has been a 72 percent decline in illegal migrant apprehensions in the 120-mile swath of the US-Mexican border known as the Yuma sector. Eight hundred people used to be apprehended trying to cross the border here every day. Now, agents catch 50 people or fewer daily.

I'll give up the "pretty" border view any day for this type of success and national security.

The new fence, along with the increase in agents and high-tech surveillance equipment, have greatly reduced the number of illegal alien apprehensions on the AZ/Mex border. But, as Steve stated in his letter, they will find other ways into our Country. A few weeks ago an elaborate tunnel was uncovered in San Luis. This was no regular "pick and shovel" operation but was being constructed using state of the art mining equipment. Last week and illegal alien was killed when the ultra-light aircraft he was using to smuggle 140 pounds of MJ into the US crashed in a lettuce field south of town. As a taxpayer living in a border community, I love seeing the new fence and the hordes of border agents scurrying around the desert like ants.

Viva la Fence!

I would call it fear;I would call it diligence.

The reconquistas and thier supporters are the ones living in fear.
The greedy are the ones who will be living in fear very soon.

Scroo Mexico. Build the wall and deport them all!

Illegal aliens are criminals and parasites, one and all. Their very presence here and practically everything they do on U. S. soil is illegal. They need to be ferreted out, rounded up like cattle, punished for their numerous crimes, then booted back to whence they snuck in from with such extreme prejudice that they will never, ever think of violating our sovereignty again. Enough is enough.

Hmmmm, tough shyt what you feel... Once again McCain lost. Anyhow, do you think I enjoyed calling W my President? It made me feel stupid, especially when I travelled overseas, but the fact of the matter is he is my President (only a month and change to go, thank god) and I defended the office (I did the same in the military), not the idiot-in-charge. So if I put up with 8 years of anti-intellectualism, and humiliation, I am sure you can too (at least this one is smarter). Besides, this "terrorist" was democratically elected, so get over it, accept it, and move on - you'll feel much better.

if the 'gay' nation feels it does not have to abide by a vote they don't like, then the same goes for me as to the vote for this obamination. No double standards just cause the weirdos in Ca. can't call each other 'husband' and 'wife', I don't have to call him 'prez' of anything.

democratically elected ?. well prop 8 in Ca. was democratically voted in and the 'democrat' gay boohoos say that the peoples vote doesnt count in that election. So democratically elected means just that,'only' if the 'democrats' win the vote, otherwise it doesnt count. makes sense to me, not.

"Obamination"... can you guys think of something new?, that one is getting pretty old and equally lame. I guess you don't know how to differentiate between a state's Constitutional Proposition and a federal election - he was elected by both the popular vote and the Federal College, meaninng, the people or our country while California is a state (I wonder if Palin knew that one) and henceforth held their own ballot measure - two things totally unrelated. The fact of the matter is you are acting like a bratty kid who loses and does not want to accept defeat. Again, you lost... Get over it. W was not an easy time for our country yet I accepted it... your turn.
