There are many people that want to work for the Boarder Patrol. You might not see too many conservatives working there because many want to be patriots from their homes and Monday morning quarterback.

There are people that actually put up and there are people that just criticize and complain...

And there are Border Patrol employees that will sit in prison for a good long time for doing their jobs.

The illegals testified against them.

Do you still want to apply????

Who ever said I wanted to apply? I'm an engineer by trade so patrolling the boarder isn't really in my career field.

These lyrics from Axl Rose and Guns N Roses circa 1986 are prescient.

One In A Million

********************
Guess I needed sometime to get away
I needed some piece of mind
Some piece of mind that'll stay
So I thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A. ---
So I thumbed it down to nine o six ten L.A. ("90610")
Maybe a Greyhound could be my way

Police and *******, that's right
Get out of my way
Don't need to buy none of your
Gold chains today
I don't need no bracelets
Clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket; 'til then
Won't you cut me some slack?

You're one in a million
Yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, much too high,
Much too high, yes, ow!

Immigrants and f****ts
They make no sense to me
They come to our country
And think they'll do as they please
Like start some mini Iran,
Or spread some ****in' disease
They talk so many goddamn ways
It's all Greek to me
Well some say I'm lazy
And others say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy
I guess I'll always be
But it's been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to an end, I
I keep it movin' along

You're one in a million
Oo, you're a shooting star
You're one in a million, babe
You know that you are
Maybe someday we'll see you, Oo
oh, Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, Oo, much too high
Yeah,
Much too high, huh, no, no, oh
Ow!

Radicals and Racists
Don't point your finger at me
I'm a small town white boy
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Don't need your religion
Don't watch that much T.V.
Just makin' my livin', baby
Well that's enough for me

You're one in a million
Yeah that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, ow, much too high,
Much too high, much too high
Yeah, yeee, yeah, yeee, igh!
Ow! Much too high
(Oh, much too high, ah,
much too high, ah, much too high
much too high, ow, much too high)

Is that weather you're feeling warm and sunny or cold and rainy.

Laws requiring medical examiations of every immigrantt, have been in place for more than a century, and for good reason: Many diseases that have been controlled or eradicated in the U.S., are still virulent and uncontrolled in other countries.

Suddenly bringing in large numbers of people exposed to those diseases, which can range from scabies to polio to TB and worse, runs a very real risk of their breaking out and spreading like wildfire in our population.
OK. So you must also think that any American out of the country for, say, two weeks, needs a thorough medical exam before being allowed back in?

Right?

I would think the good arguments against illegals are societal and economic. And I believe those arguments to be very powerful and in fact carry the day. The invsion of the illegals should never have been allowed and those who did so should be roundly condemned. Start with Reagan et al.

But that does not modify where we are and the fix to the problem almost certainly involves, at a minimum, legalization of a vast portion of the illegals.

Health and security issues are simply right wing fantasies.
The fact that even you call them illegals automatically makes the a risk , they are illegal

Do you think anyone would want a job where the employer will turn in a heartbeat and be on the side of the criminal they were being paid to guard against????

The job is immensely popular in many border areas. So that must mean the employer does not change sides? Or that border crossers are not criminal? Or both?
