#1 These are the people that idiot George Bush and John McCain (and Obama as well) want to trust to obey an open border.

Fence the border NOW. Pull the 1st AD out fo Ft Hood and send them to seal the damned thing against invaders.

If Bush cannot do this then IMPEACH HIM NOW for failure to defend the nation and derelection of duty.

Until the Politicians are forced to listen, we will see more of this.

Question is, what will it take? Will we have to make them act at gunpoint?

#2 Go to the site, read the docs.

Its chilling. BDU pants, AR-15 with AImpoints, tac vests, and false "Phoenix Police" blac tactial shirts and windbreakers.

They set an AMBUSH for the police that responded.

WHen will the politicians wake the hell up - we are under attack from Mexico and its 3rd world drug-lord lawlessness and corrupt bannana republic politicians.

#3 All the gear except the weapons could be bought through the cheaper than dirt catalogue and their presence is meaningless. Bragging that they were prepared to ambush the police or that they had military training should is easy enough to investigate but is more than likely bravado.

You have to wonder why so few bullets if that's the case. I can pop off 100 rounds at the range pretty damn quick with a revolver, I think it would take seconds with an AR-15. If they had military training they were ineptly prepared.

They should be tried as murderers and any connections to drugs and/or Mexican military should be exploited. But when it all settles they are just punks that saw HEAT as far as I can tell.

#4 Build the damn fence, Washington DC. Or we will throw you over the southern border and build it ourselves.

#5 To put this in context, in West Phoenix there is a large desert area used as a dumping ground in drug killings.

Almost exclusively Mexican, the local papers refused to associate all the killings, put them as individual stories in the truss ads, and just stopped reporting them when the count was over 40 bodies.

By now, perhaps 80 or more bodies have been recovered there in the last 10 years.

#6 This is the problem I have with McCain, folks. Sorry. I know Iraq is important and I know all too well that Obama will be far worse. But I expect better from Republicans and until I get it I refuse to vote at all. Maybe some day they'll figure it out or maybe they just don't care about little old me. I live an hour's drive from the border and uncomfortably close to Interstate 5. These people drive with impunity up and down I5 every day. The only comfort I can take is they're not interested in me. But their product is readily available all over SoCal. I don't want to hear any crap about how the government is doing all that can be done about it. Apart from a cosmetic bust every now and then just for show there is absolutely nothing being done. McCain won't even talk about it. I know, Obama won't either. But that's not good enough anymore. I want something done. HEY, SENATOR! IT'S THE BORDER, STUPID!

#7 If these ARE members of the Mexican army and they have crossed the border and attacked and killed a US citizen, then we are at war with Mexico.

#8 Abu Uluque, you have to ask yourself if Obama would be better on the border. Imperfect as he is I think I trust McCain on border security more, simply because he understands the war on terror even if he doesn't understand the other border issues.

#9 The Hoover Administration looked at building a canal from San Diego area right across the states on the boarder with Mex coming out in the Gulf of Mexico a natural barrier. Make it wider than Panama so ship size is not as limited. Great public works project and would bring up land values in some pretty dry areas. Cost of shipping goes down etc.

#10 McCain doesn't believe in protecting his own state so you know fuking well he isn't going to protect the nation. But what sorry choice do we have.

#11 This became an issue for the various states several years ago, when it became clear neither Congress nor the President were going to tighten down the border. The states have begun handling things. Local police have been trained and deputized as ICE enforcers, ICE has been cleaning out prisons and work places at a steadily increasing pace, and localities and states have passed laws making illegal aliens, well, illegal. Basic fencing is less expensive than dealing with this kind of thing -- so let the states get on with putting barriers in place along the border, and let the Federal government catch up later.

#13 Last I heard, 10% of illegals who cross from Mexico are of Middle East origin.

Reminder: Mexico deports thousands of illegals from Central America, each year. I have personally witnessed one crop of deportations at the border with Guatemala.

Reminder: there are mine fields around border passages between Peru and Ecuador, and Peru and Chile. If they can do it...

#14 Oh yeah, Chile and Bolivia also landmine their border.
