#1 How many innocent Americans will have to die needlessly before closing the Mexican border becomes a priority for our political traitor elite?

#2 Zen, unfortunately, many. Then and only then will the "elites" see this is more important.

#3 I neglected to mention how thousands of Americans are already being killed each year at the hands of Mexican illegal ~~immigrants~~ aliens. Quite obviously, if that death toll means nothing to our pols, how is a terrorist attack going to change anything? All that will make these money-grubs act is the threat of being voted out of office. Something that should happen to every single supporter of the failed immigration bill.

#4 We can seal the border to terrorists now, and worry about Mexicans later, because we can do something, and on the cheap now, that will stop terrorists in a week or two:

Pay Mexicans a bounty for them.

Anywhere from $100, to $50,000 for a real top of the line non-Mexican bad guy, paid to Mexicans for a phone call of where the non-Mexicans are crossing. In exchange, they get a seven digit code number. If whoever we arrest is a non-Mexican, they win. If we don't catch them, they don't get paid.

Up here, that much money is tiny, but down there it would be like winning the Powerball jackpot. No non-Mexican could get near the border without us finding out about it. Hell, even their own mules would take their money, and then turn them in--an old custom.

Best of all, it is so relatively inexpensive to do that the US government doesn't even have to be involved. An individual or a group could chip in and set it up. All they need is a phone number and some money, and to let the Mexicans know, and the tips will roll in.

#5 If the story is true (WND is wrong sometimes) and we ARE catching Iraqi terrorists entering through Mexico, then either:
1) a lot more are getting through uncaught, or
2) something like 'moose suggests IS going on, or
3) they're not actually terrorists, but ex-terrorists (e.g. Baathists), coming to the US because they can and it is far better than staying in Iraq.

#6 Zen, unfortunately, many. Then and only then will the "elites" see this is more important.

Unless the attack occurs on the Upper East Side of Manhattan or the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard will the elites ever consider it a priority. Not until it is "Our Kind, Deah" who get their ox gored.

#7 they will never specify or quantify who or how many have been caught because it puts a face on the terror entrance. That would spur the American people to rise up and demand "where's the GODDAMN FENCE?"

#8 Here's the El Paso Time story.

#9 I think that Moose and Glenmore may be on to something. Could it be that we're purposefully leaving an obvious open door in place to draw the enemy to it, rather than another, less watched entry point?

They'll wait for a water reservoir to be poisoned or a nuke to go off first.

#11 Get the Chinese to build a wall similar to the Great Wall. It'll be a tourist attraction for generations and stop the influx cold.

Demand actual cultural assimilation before anyone talks about increasing the number of legal immigrants. The multicultural mindset is half the problem.

End the anchor baby concept.
