#1 "These are very sophisticated, hardened criminals who will use violence to protect their criminal businesses,"

Whatever. If those guys shoot, shoot back. And it would be wise to ensure that there will be no need to have to deal with them again. EVER.

#2 It's well past time to make the Border Patrol a military organization along the lines of the Coast Guard. Increase it to 100,000 MINIMUM, build its NCO corps from a combination of law enforcement/existing USBP types along with some combat-experienced infantrymen and MP's from the Army and Marines, and equip it as a combo of mechanized and airmobile light infantry.

#3 While Washington continues to ponder this issue, someone call the weapons committee at Bragg and have them hand recieipt Swedish K's to those Vets and grannies who volunteer, and sit along the border protecting us.

#7 I always note Frank how the apologists for the poor oberos never seem to acknowledge the murders, rapes, and robberies and vehicular homicides that these illegals have brought with them, not including the costs to the expanding space in our prisons.

#8 Shoot back, shoot to kill, and tell the Mexican government that the first word we hear out of them that is anything but approval we close the border permanently, abrogate NAFTA unilaterally, and immediately deport as many of their citizens who are here illegally as we can find. Incidentally, those two bastards in the photo that accompanied this picture need a serious wake-up call. I'd say two .40 S&W to center of mass, followed by one to the head would insure they got the message.
