Many people think because immigration bill was killed in the Senate that the immigration problem is solved. There are still forty to fifty thousand, or more, still coming across the border every month.? Naturally we cannot settle anything about immigration until we close the borders.? All the talk about the wall, which will take years to build, tens of thousands of illegal immigrations will have crossed the border.? They talk about the border patrol - the head of the border patrol says it will take until the year 2012 to?close the border.?That means millions more illegal immigrants will have crossed the border illegally, compounding and compounding the problem that already exists.? There is only one way to close the border fast and efficiently.?We have 465,000 National Guard so 2% of the guard would amount to almost 10,000, which would make five National Guardsmen to the mile.? And with the border patrol we would have close to 10?boots on the ground?per mile.? This would close the border if they would have the right to arrest and detain.? ? We already have 6,000 near the border without the right to arrest and detain.? This is preposterous.?? There are those who say this cannot be done - well, they are wrong.? With the hurricane in Louisiana, Katrina, we sent thirty thousand? National Guard to the gulf states.? So we certainly can send 10,000 National Guard to the border.?Our children are dying from the drugs that are coming from Mexico.? A very, very high percentage of the drugs come from Mexico to poison our people.? Why would the President? and congress leave this border open - that is stupid.? But there are corporations and their lobbyists who want these borders kept open, Now we are spending billions more on security.? And we are leaving 2,000 miles of border wide open - this is stupid? .Al queda is a very dangerous and vicious group and to leave this border open for them to come across is simply wrong.? With thousands of illegal immigrations coming across our southern borders.? We have to close the borders now.

Conspiracy, plain and simple. The citizens of the U.S.A. can ill-afford to rely on our government which is on the take from big business. We can stop paying taxes, we can stop buying many items that we do not need, all in the name of our soviergnty. Any other suggestions out there?

Ron Paul is Real. If we want to have a snowballs chance in Hell of stopping this slide we have been in for the past many years, we have to vote in a president who isn't bought and paid for by the Fascists.

Jay,

If you use that criteria there will be no one on the ballot (republican or democrat). Let's see uuummm someone not bought and paid for, ummmmm. Nope can't find a one. Maybe I will just wait until 2012.

We have the best Government money can buy!!

America’s bushwacker pardons Scooter; will he pardon “Border Agents”? On July 30, 2007, U.S. Border Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean will have been in federal prison for 194 days! Having taken an oath to protect our borders, they are now in prison for doing their jobs--trying to stop an illegal alien drug smuggler. Today, their commitment has cost them their jobs, their freedom and placed a desperate emotional and financial strain on their families. http://www.grassfire.org/7142/offer.asp?rid=11528520
