I can step out onto the front porch and see the border fence. I can see neighborhoods in Juarez and watch the traffic on the streets.

The cartels are not controlling things, despite a "news" station sensationalizing the situation and getting your blood pressure pumped up. That's what they do. Their ratings depend on it. Everything is a "crisis" because that draws viewers.

Are children not coming by planes and buses?

They're being brought back to the border in planes and buses, if that's what you're referring to. They're being held, pending deportation hearings.

BTW, these kids are not Mexican, but El Salvadoran, Nicaraguan, and Honduran. They're trying to get away from unchecked drug gang violence in those countries, which is totally out of control.

I can see all that also -- and it is completely out of control. Every day the cartels bring over tons of drugs they'll distribute throughout the entire USA --- there is no control over what they're bringing in - tons of marijuana, tons of heroin, tons of meth.

And the Central Americans are pouring over the border now by the thousands every day. They're filling all the shelters with them. And every day thousands more arrive. Obama can't get them their free health care fast enough -- he's dumped our war veterans and denied them health care the his beloved illegals show up and are given free health care immediately.

A flight-load of them every day means hundreds of severely impoverished helpless government dependent illegals for the taxpayers to feed, house, and pay for their medical care.

2 more flights of undocumented immigrants coming to El Paso this weekend | News - Home

weekend, according to a statement by a Customs and Border Protection spokesman.

"This weekend, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to operate two flights transporting family units to El Paso from other locations in South Texas," CBP spokesman Dennis Smith said in an email statement. "The movement will allow the U.S. Border Patrol to assist in processing these family units. The transfer of immigrants between Border Patrol sectors occurs on a regular basis to allow U.S. Customs and Border Protection to manage flows and processing capability."

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

Yup his beloved illegals. Good one. Did you see the current Republican congress put forward a lot of bills with funding to help the VA to deal with the influx of war veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Should you want to just irrationally whine about Obama, we do have a forum for that now. It's a great place for old angry men to complain. The rest of the forum should be left for intelligent conversation.

Do you really want to send our sons and daughters off to kill children at the border? Can you see the images of that being beamed by satellite around the world? Some of those kids are still wearing diapers. Where is the respect for life that so many right wingers like you claim to have? I can't believe you think that is a good solution to a very complicated INTERNATIONAL problem!

Do you want your sons and daughter beaten, raped, or killed by illegals who crossed the border?

Take out a few cartel members, string them up to rot, with a warming sign around their necks saying "Any and all persons from this point on will be shot".

Trust me, no one will enter...

It is not a complicated problem people are entering this nation illegally, a fence will stop this and save billions of dollars and countless lives...Build the fence.
