At this point I believe so. We are in a war on terror officially. Any country that does not take our concerns seriously, need a wake up call. Mexico is one of them. We have every right to militarize our border when we are being invaded. And we are being invaded. The invaders carry drugs, diseases and are by their very nature counter culture. They cost the US billiions of dollars in untold ways and they threaten the culture in general. They are also, outside of the law of this country by entering in the way they do. All that said, I'm sure many are nice people.\nI would ask the question, "if someone put a gun to your head and blew your brains out, would it matter to you if they were a nice person?"\nWe ARE at war with these people and in a sense with Mexico and while it is not traditional, it is being fought for the same old things most wars are fought for. Power, control, money.

I'm not concerned about immigrants, but there have been several cases of paid off Mexican army units with machine gun mounted trucks escorting shipments fully into US territory & even exchanging fire with local law enforcement - mex govt says stolen uniforms. Corrupt mexican national & local police have long done similar. Then there's the smugglers themselves. \n\nAnyway, from what I understand the troops will not be patrolling the border. They'll be engineer units building access roads & survellince posts, and intel operating air & ground based detection equipment from the military inventory. The Border Patrol will still be the ones doing all the apprehending. \n\nThat said, the national guard DOES have law enforcement authority while under the Gov's command (just like after hurricanes), and it is the PRIMARY mission of the national guard to defend the boarders & internal security of the United States. Backing up federal troops overseas comes second, followed by disaster response.

Mendi if you open your yahoo browser and put in 'immigration' and 'border security' it will come up.  I saw it on the main stream press.  They are trying to get help from their government.  It was such a problem the US started spending more to drop people further into the interior, to make it easier.\n\nhere: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060617/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/mexico_no_way_home_3

Where do all the crazies come from.  I think that you will find that the U.S. is under obligation both written and impied to defend Mexico and all the other counries through Central America and South America from invasion of an outside source.  While this does not necessarily mean that we are under no obligation not to be the invading force, I think that we have other things to work on.

I heard this was a rumor from his trip to Mexico. Apparently, however, the suit is still in court and is pending a verdict. The real truths will come out on the stand. Link below is to a TheSmokingGun article describing the suit with filed documents.

This is very wrong.  We should have laws that keep these places from being sued because they deny someone service.  We should have laws that state only legal immigrants and U.S. citizens have the right to these places.  Also, the businesses that employ these people should be put out of business, screw the fines.  I also think we should put a wall along the whole border.  Why are we only putting it along 700 miles of our border?  why not the whole thing?

Makes NO sense does it??!! The mexican border is one of the most DANGEROUS places around, what with drug smugglers sneaking across!!! There has been OVER two hundred incursions into the U.S.,by the mexican army,just THIS year!!! THEN,you have all the murderers,rapists,child molesters, and gang members SNEAKING across!!! The border patrol gets shot at all the time!! It is SUICIDE to not have weapons to defend yourself, when you are stationed on the border!!!!

I think it's time we nut kick Vicente Fox. There have been numerous incursions of our land by both the Mexican military and federales who are escorting illegals and drug runners into the US. They have fired on Border Patrol Agents and local Law Enforcement Officers. This has been outlined by Arizona Rep Tom Tancredo on various news channels, yet it still goes on! The link from fireman shows the contempt this scum has for us, and it's still tolerated. JD is right again - time to lock and load! The only thing that's brown on my land that I won't shoot is my dogs! God Bless the USA!!!

be a little more specific. Currently the Mexican side is checking vehicles prior to accessing the bridge to the US side. This is meant as a precaution and to boost Mexico's image.

Bush isn't going a good job on anything, let along border security.  Did you know the Oregon boarder is protected by all of three state troopers?  I met one last summer when I was camping.  And keeping Mexicans out isn't 'border' protection, neither is locking up Canada.  Its being a jerk and trying to push another issue.  He's doing much less than what the media and he shows to the public when it comes to actual homeland security.

The question you posed is a VERY serious one. I feel strongly that they are in cahoots with the Mexican Government with the intent of turning at least part of the U.S. over to Mexico... they are using illegals, over 20 million at this time.. to ruin the economy and force serious concessions with Mexico.

Don't know, but they shouldn't be- citizens have a right to protect their own country, whether illegal or not!  History will prove them right and their actions will be honored at a future time.  Americans are expected to be sensitive to everyone else yet, to add insult to injury, we're supposed to submit to the ridiculous whims of others.  What justification can an illegal immigrant bring for breaking the laws of other countries.- they have none b/c they have no standing to complain.  Why don't you ask mexico why they rape and pillage their southern border yet expect us to leave our southern border open.  On top of that, they want free healthcare and complain when we suggest that thats inappropriate- the rest of the world is laughing at us.  As long as american kids are deathly afraid of rotting in a mexican jail for littering or peeing in the street, we shouldn't even grant mexico an audience!  Even worse, now they're demanding that we hand deliver Dog the Bounty Hunter to them for capturing a habitual rapist that mexico wasn't even trying to capture!  Whatever- mexico should learn its place!

there was some mexican guy on here about a week ago crying that  home depot and walmart stores in mexico caused his family business to shut down so that's why he came here illegally and no i didn't know that mexico protects people from all those places i will look into that but they cant buy property right or have anything to do with any government office and they cant be there illegally right?  i also know that mexico harbors criminals did you know we let people come here legally too ?

I just think it to be really funny that we just walked into mexico, set up our homes there and claimed half their land ours and now that they are coming here we are all up in arms as if this is a great injustice.  Note to all Texans...you are all technically illegal immigrants in Mexico's rightful land.  We have to stop only thinking about ourselves people!
