They're not the real problem (but still illegal).

The real problem are the terrorists and gangbangers going the same route.

Exactly in this day and age, better safe then sorry, to bad Obummer does not feel the same way.


The only thing he seems to care about his is own ego and getting his own way, at all cost to American Citizens.


We need to secure our borders, anyone who does not agree in theory in this day and age, needs their heads examined!

Gee, it's a good thing nobody said that then.
Psst, the issue is middle eastern men
coming across our southern border.
Do you think that's a good or a bad thing?

It's not rocket surgery and not "disturbing". You can't fly into the US without pre-clearance so the only other route is the land route.

The Laredo eight were originally reported as "caught" v now reported as turning themselves in.
From your first link, "we suppose" does not equate to terrorists or that they were planning to come to the US. Yes the 8 at Laredo turned themselves in sounded more lika a family.

We suppose that they were going to illegally travel by land all the way to the United States," Baca told reporters. He did not provide details on why police believe the group was planning to go to the United States but said that investigators would do more digging in the coming hours to confirm the group's travel plans.

Nice to see a lot of "Tom Clancy" readers on here.

A whole lot of fiction being passed along.

It's so amusing to read posts from whimpering scaredy cats up north making comments about "our porous border."

Relax. Take a deep breath. We got this.

Keepin' y'all safe!
