Exclusive video of drug cartels crossing southern border | On Air Videos | Fox News

They are taking over as the border agents process all the children coming here by the thousands.

The border is out of control -- and this will end up costing the American taxpayers trillions of dollars.

Interestingly --- our American war veterans wait months for needed health care. Obama is making sure his beloved illegals get their free health care immediately.

I think it's time for Texans to take the matter into their own hands and protect their state like they did in the 1800's. Because the Fed Gov is not doing it.

Can the Gov of Texas deploy the Texas National Guard to protect the border?

IMO....Obama would send US troops to kill them......at least drive them back.

Thank the "Dream Act".

Not exactly.

You think immigrants are only crossing for drugs?

You forget about jobs and a better life?

You're right, I forgot to mention ending welfare and freebies, etc.
Those who come to work should be welcomed as they have for decades.

Not if they come illegally.

Holy cow, do you realize how big the Texas border with Mexico is? How remote much of it is? One of the big areas for smuggling drugs is that lake that borders Texas and Mexico (I don't recall the name; Lake Falcon or such).

It is a difficult situation, no doubt. The "Feds" are trying to keep illegals out, but the entire border is some 2,000 miles, and I believe that we have some 700 miles of fencing (which probably does not help as much as people wish).

I wish I had an easy answer to the problem. No doubt, in the upcoming Presidential campaign, we shall hear lots of 'easy' answers.

It could be done.....not easy but, possible.

But, we have to let the army defend our boarder.....with orders to kill.
