I'll jump in to this one. I work in the fed system and can tell you unequivocally that a fair percentage of the them running across the border either are, have been, or will be involved in slinging dope. I had my eyes opened real quick and learned differently about the old stereotype of "we're just looking for honest work". True, many are. I've met them and dealt with many of them without issue. However, they aren't all here working in agriculture or (God forbid) building houses.
A LARGE number of illegals fall into a category known as aggravated illegal re-entry criminals.....they were deported after being convicted for a felony in this country (always DOPE) and then came back. If caught, they face a 24 month standard sentence, 3 square meals, exercise yard, air conditioning, and medical care at YOUR EXPENSE. I have personally witnessed MANY of them purposely get popped for something then come back as a criminal re-entry for the express purpose of YOU paying for THEIR medical care, e.g., cancer, vision related issues, kidney diseases, etc. Been there, seen it, and seen the bills folks.
FYI, your federal prisons aren't full of bank robbers, kidnappers, meth cooks, etc., they are filling up with criminal illegal re-entry convicts.
The woman in the article is a traitor and should be charged federally with Conspiracy, Aiding and Abetting, and other immigration related charges.
I don't have the answer (well, I do, but mine isn't politically correct and Saddam would want the top bunk, so never mind), but I'd rather see at least some of my military on my Southern border manning a big ditch or a wall as opposed to having all of them in someone else's sandbox.
:twisted:
Ok I'm done.
