Some posters here think that just crossing the border illegally should be a shootable offence.

I would have no problem with using a 308 Winchester to protect my country.
Obviously "hand slapping" has been totally ineffective.

Until we as a country adopt a "Shoot To Kill" policy, those goons will never have any respect for our borders.

Why don't we stop patronizing companies that hire illegals then maybe we would not have to murder children.

If things are getting violent down there, then it's time to militarize the border.
Other countries do it and it works out much better than "we have to do something" hand wringing.

After that is done, THEN sit down and write up some reform legislation.

Difference is, guards along the Berlin Wall were trying to keep people from leaving, not from coming in.

This is different. They were being held captive, and were trying to get to freedom. These Mexicans suposedly love their country and hate America, so why are they coming here?

If the Obama admin continues to do nothing, then the people might have to take the law into their own hands, then that will REALLY **** the libs off. I think these ranchers should be able to open fire....
