If it means 'shoot to kill' orders; so be it.

Or; we could simply copy line for line Mexico's regulations for illegals in their nation and enforce 'em.
How many billions of dollars are we spending on "Homeland Security" and all it's getting us is this kind of thing?

A Border Patrol agent killed by a suspected smuggler's vehicle he was trying to stop near the border was identified Sunday as a 32-year-old father of two.


What is said in that one paragraph above is reason enough for other officers to open fire and riddle that damn vehicle with bullets. Another officer killed leaving behind a wife and kids.

It's a damn shame that these officers don't have more authority to protect themselves without fear of going to prison.

The fact that we still have so many willing to put their lives on the line after what Johnny Sutton did is a testament to the character of those working the border.

No joke there; and, the 'Patriot Act' supposedly keeps people out of the USA-------not!

Bush is a bald faced lier, pure and simple.

For once I have to disagree with your sentiment here: a handful of illegals slipping across is one thing; tens of thousands getting across per year I find troublesome------at best.
