#1 This is just stupid.

All the congress-critters are complaining that additional border security will come at the expense of firemen, EMTs, police, etc. All those positions they claim are "at risk" should be funded LOCALLY anyway. The Feds NEVER had any reason to tax away our local money just so that they can give it back again (under their control and priorities.)

The priority of Congress should be National Defense (not local services.) Drop all the support for local services and SECURE OUR BORDERS!

#2 A cousin of mine works for a very rural fire department in Indiana. He describes much of his job as collecting dead Mexicans.

Wouldn't it help our "first responders" if we were to remove the burden of dealing with illegal immigrants?

#3 Robert, can you expand on that? Why are there so many dead Mexicans in rural Indiana? Thanks!

#4 It's not that our Senators are opposed to making sure the Federal government does its job in protecting us. As long as it doesn't interfere with the really important business of mutual backscratching and contributor payoffs, of course. Most of the time it seems like the main difference between the parties is what they're distracted by, not how much of the time is spent keeping their eyes on the ball.

I'd love to see us get serious about border security and China instead of doing only as much as the Mexicans and the Chinese are comfortable with. Given the way we're still playing footsie with the Saudis, I don't expect to.
