I've been looking for ways to help with this issue. I found a booth at my local gun show. Anyone who's interested can try that. I'm expecting to find it very rewarding.

Do you mean...The Texas Border Volunteers?

I'd hate for you to show up to the wrong place on your first day.

I second that! However, we can start at home you know... I see you are from Mass and you know this state is going to sh*t.

What do you mean going? What can we do from here? I'm all ears.
I vote and write my congressional delegate on a regular basis.

Woohoo! Go get em! My husband and I were just saying the other night how we would like to help secure the border, even if it is just a few weekends a month. By the way, hubby is a LEGAL immigrant here from the UK

My hubby is a LEGAL immigrant too, from the UK. It wasn't an easy task to get him into this country either. Massachusetts is a good state, I don't care what you say. We have some weirdos but we have a lot of moderates and middle of the road liberals (like me). If it were not for our progressive health insurance plan here in MA, my husband could not live in this country and we would be missing out on a wonderful person. I wouldn't have him live in some state where he couldn't even see a doctor if he got sick.

OP--congratulations. Go get them--as many as you can get. What can the rest of us do? Those who do not live near a border and can't get physically involved? I will be writing to my Senators and Congressmen but are there any organized groups?

Really? Where is he from in the UK? Mine is from the North East Yes, I remember the difficult task to get my husband here as well, and we were supposedly "fast tracked" because we were living in the UK at the time of filing.

Here are some groups you might want to check out...
