You don't bury survivors, they're still alive.

Bravo Patriot... I have noticed this (particularly "defender of the hated") here and in almost all forums.\n\nDid you see the CNN town meeting on "Broken Borders"... the woman defending illegals wouldn't answer a question... she merely ran on in her prepared manifesto covering the standard points: the border crossed us, it's our land, your economy can't survive without our work... blah blah blah.\n\nI'm a Californian, and honestly have had no KNOWN contact with ILLEGAL immigrants of OTHER than Hispanic origin.  My Indian, Fijian, and Russian co-workers all have work-visa's (I'm their supervisor and have to know).  My comments are based on first-hand observation.\n\nYet while in the Navy I lived right on the border in San Ysidro... watched lllegal crossings night and day.  I couldn't report them... HONEST !!  My reports were REQUIRED to be ignored by INS /Border Patrol because my reporting would violate the illegals' rights due to "posse comitatus".\n\nI pay my high California taxes, and while in San Ysidro, my daughter had to go to a school 5 miles away because the school NEXT DOOR was reserved for ESL students !!  An investigation in 1992 found that 85% of those students had PO boxes or false addresses... and further investigation found that those students crossed the border back to mexico each day. On falsely obtained student ID !!\n\n230 students... and at the time, the State said it cost $30,000 per student per year... So that's 6.9 MILLION stolen from the tax-payers from ONE school.

I live here in Philadelphia, Mississippi where that happened. \nYou might try our local newspaper. They have a continuing series about all the events of that incident. Feel free to e-mail me @ yahoo if you have any more questions.I was a small child but I remember some things.\nHope this helps. Blessings...

I hope it's a very long tunnel .... :(  I'm sorry, but with all this shouting racist by most people who either are illegal immigrants, or for some mysterious reason pro illegal immigration, one can't but help feeling a bit peeved ... to say the least ... I mean, since when did it become racist to want to protect the borders and uphold the law of the land?

Hmm, good question.  Local newspaper will have it though...in a day or two.  You can try and check out the local police station website, don't know if maybe they list stuff like that.  I don't think there's too many ways to find out, people in accident probably don't want everyone gossiping about them.

Armed men in Mexican military uniforms have illegally crossed into the United States to provide cover for drug smugglers, and have fired upon U.S. Border Patrol agents on several occasions, a congressional panel was told Tuesday. \n\nBorder Patrol Union President T.J. Bonner detailed three incidents since 2000 in which U.S. agents were chased and fired upon by what he characterized as Mexican soldiers operating inside U.S. borders.  Bonner testified before the House Homeland Security Investigations Subcommittee on Tuesday.  \n\nThe Department of Homeland Security said there have been 231 documented incursions by Mexican military and law enforcement personnel into the U.S. since 1996.  \n\n“There is little doubt that the majority of these incidences are accidental,” said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas., chairman of the Security Investigations Subcommittee.  “However, there are several reports of intentional violations of U.S. sovereignty by groups, often smuggling hundreds of pounds of drugs, which appear to be associated with members of the Mexican military or police forces,” McCaul said.\n\nAn incident last month in Hudspeth County, Texas, along the border east of El Paso, pushed the issue of alleged Mexican military incursions into the national spotlight.  “It was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” McCaul said.\n\nOn Jan. 23, a group of Texas deputy sheriffs, acting on a tip, intercepted a group of drug smugglers and were surprised to find what they believed to be Mexican soldiers with automatic weapons and a military vehicle providing armed security.  \n\nWhen confronted by the deputies, the drug smugglers raced back across the border while men in Mexican military uniforms, driving a Humvee, “took up a defensive position” that Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West described as a "military maneuver." \n\nWhen one of the vehicles carrying drugs got stuck in the river, the uniformed men fanned out and took up protective positions as others unloaded the marijuana, West testified.  When the drugs were unloaded, the truck was set on fire “and still sits in the river where it burned,” West said.  \n\nMexican officials said Friday that, after an initial investigation, none of its military were involved in the episode.  A State Department official testifying Tuesday said that a separate U.S. investigation is still being conducted.\n\nNothing unusual\nMexican soldiers caught inside U.S. boundaries “isn’t a new phenomenon,” said David Aguilar, chief of the U.S. Border Patrol. Although the Mexican military has an “internal policy” that states they won’t operate within about two miles of the U.S., that policy is routinely violated or simply ignored, he said. “We often spot them” near or inside U.S. borders, Aguilar said.\n\nAnd on several occasions the U.S. has chased, apprehended and even detained members of the Mexican military, Aguilar said during his testimony. However, the U.S. has no concrete evidence that the Mexican military is in any way involved in drug smuggling, Aguilar was quick to point out.\n\n“However, we address these (incursions) as the serious criminal acts that they are, and these cases are actively pursued,” Aguilar said.\n\nUnion president Bonner asked Congress to treat the issue with more seriousness because the violence was widespread, leading to a “growing problem of armed incursions across the southwest border of the United States by current and former Mexican soldiers and law enforcement officers.”  \n\nBonner also urged the subcommittee members to hold Mexico accountable as well for not doing enough on its side of the border to help stem the problem.\n\nThe violence is escalating even as state and federal border crackdown initiatives take hold, law enforcement officials told the panel Tuesday.\n\nDrug smugglers have moved to sophisticated techniques and increasingly lethal weaponry, including machine guns, said West.  “And I’m afraid the situation wi

If they really have stopped attacks then credit where it's due.\nDon't think it would make any difference if your borders were 'closed': in fact you'd probably excarebate any potential terrorist situation (ie more frustrated, relatively deprived often oppressed people with no hope at all of relative freedom elsewhere). \nKeep your borders open and moderated, I'd have thought for everyone's benefit.

Wait a minute. Are you actually suggesting that we PAY the same people who ILLEGALLY breached our border to protect it? That's rather like asking the prisoner to guard the jail, isn't it. That is the most asinine thing I've ever heard of!

An "illegal alien" has committed a crime by entering a country illegally. I am law-abiding and here legally.\n\nOther than that, nothing.

England has pretty much stamped out hooliganism - there will always be some trouble when large groups from different countries (or opposing teams) meet where they have all been drinking booze.  The UK authorities have confiscated passports from known hooligans and worked with the German police/authorities to share information on these people should they make it over to Germany.  So hopefully there will not be too much trouble.  Those arrested last night should be sent home.

I am a Japanese. \nI am also a victim. \n\nThe Japanese police is advancing criminal investigation in this incident. \nIt is not recognized as a still formal incident. Some time is needed until an incident is presumed. It is 1. that a victim can do it at present. Tell the contents of damage to oosakisyo (police) of Japan. 2.  Inform the Nippon Travel Agency association. It is two. \nAre you a Japanese? \nIf different, as for me, you may be able to do information offer. (Since information of Japan can be offered)  \n\n I cannot speak English. \nThis text is using software which translates Japanese into English automatically. \nI am sorry when translating into the strange text. Although shortage may be in communication in me, supposing help is required, please send e-mail to \nme. \nmail address　＞ umehot@hotmail.co.jp

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.

i don't want to have us look like a police state, and we already have a border patrol, so i say beef up the border patrol , or transfer forces from another Branch somehow.  point is, we need our border patrol to do it, but they need the resources.  also, thanks to any border patrol agents reading, and i would love to see some input from you.

I saw some accounts saying that was the case a couple of weeks back. People picked up said they were 'coming for the amnesty' and knew the guard was going to the border.  However, there will probably be some diminishing effect when the border patrol is really there, until they figure their next move.\n\nMeanwhile, I read in another article that coyote fees have gone up by 50%.

Bravo Dave....When Mr. Reagon said those immortal words, the whole world respected our government, and what we stood for.  Now-not so much as a "security issue", but as a "political issue" our government wants to secure the Mexico/USA border.  Why has no money be allocated for a Canada/USA border?  Isn't Canada where they recently broke up a terrorists cell?
