Context, friend. Of course I want that cartel gone -- lickety-split. That said -- my context was couched with regard to illegals who come here looking for work, not drug cartels. Apples and oranges. Sure, the cartel would qualify as a small scale invasion, but I find the use of "invasion" to refer to regular mexicans who cross the border to be hyperbolic and that it has a purpose -- the purpose of painting them in the worst possible light in order to justify direct military force against them.

Americans are brainwashed to believe terrorist are a bigger threat to the country then Mexican gang bangers, and many are gullible enough to buy into. I'm much more likely to be mugged and killed by a Mexican then get blown up by an Al Qeida terrorist.

If Obama does anything for Arizona (other than try his best to ignore the state's concerns and pleas for help), he'll get labeled a traitor by his supporters.

AZ has taken the responsibility for immigration issues. Its part of the state's job now.

Can't believe they haven't thought of it before.

Like shooting ducks on the pond.

It's good but I think implementing such an idea might cause some whining.....especially from the Lefties.


Ummm I am leftie... surprise...

Has anyone considered this is a sneaky way for Mexico to take back land that was taken from them. No military, just an Armyu of people seeking to occupy... things that make you go hmmmm.
