autigeremt 7,549 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Link Please refrain from making politically enhanced remarks about Fox and Mr. Beck. Anyone who thinks this is a show should take a long look in the mirror and realize that we have a serious problem rising up on our border. To hell with the stimulus.... Close off that border! Create some jobs by building a border protection area and add border patrol officers with specific orders to protect the U.S. from what's going to be a huge problem if we do not attack it and protect ourselves from it.

Justin5 20 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yes, it is a legit problem. Yes, Glenn Beck is a complete douche. Yes, the democrats put $1.2 billion for border infrastructure in the House passed version of the stimulus from last week.

Auburn85 438 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 this is one of those issues where we don't want to face reality or we absolutely blind to it. i used to watch glenn beck on a regular basis when he was on cnn headline news,even though he comes off a little kooky. that's what makes him unique though. i absolutely love his show on Fox. Most i've watched Fox in years. I did go to his site the other day when h was saying there were pictures too horrific to show on tv. he said you'd be warned several times before you saw the pictures. the pictures were human heads scattered on a floor. alot of folks don't like to solve problems before they fester or absolutely explode. like the warning signs for 9/11, the economy, the housing market.. we didn't take things seriously until after they happened. glenn beck beat the coming economic downturn like a dead horse. he had peter schiff on several times. very few took it serious. now all of a sudden people care. i'd hate to live along the texas/mexico, new mexico/mexico, arizona/mexico border. alot of folks are being kidnapped, raped, and murdered. not to mention all the drug trafficing, police corruption. i get tired of people having to waste air because they're put on the defensive as being racist, a bigot, anti-immigrant, not caring for the poor people coming across the border. it's takes commentators like Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck to keep big problems with our illegal imigration and it's spillage to give these issues news time. yet, it only takes "objective" news blocks to cover a story when a legal immigrant is beaten to near death or death and theimmigrant was trying to do was better himself/herself/family. obviously, stories like this MUST be covered. There are still racists folks in this world. My problem is how some news organizations completely ignore the obvious problems with illegal immigration. even at the height of the illegal immigration debate a few years ago, outside of commentators, it was still only a blimp on the radar.

AURaptor 1,137 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've heard some wicked stories, where the violence would rival the stuff we saw / heard about over in Fallujah, Iraq. Pure evil, gruesome stuff. Another reason we need a strong border, and not just some half assed barbed wire fence, with water stations placed here and there in the desert, to help these illegals along in their trek into our country.

BamaGrad03 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The sad truth about the border is...Democrats aren't for closing it up because they pander to the bleeding heart "we can all be one happy people" group, and Mexicans in America who can vote do so for Democrats almost 100% of the time. Republicans wont do it because big business lobbies the crap out of them to keep the border open because of the cheap labor. It's sad. At the end of the day, the same thing drives politics that always has:getting re-elected...and money.

autigeremt 7,549 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Maybe the "war on drugs" needs to be tweeked. This is more than a war on drugs for our citizens. We need to take this seriously. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56109-rising-tide-of-violence-south-of-the-border/#findComment-580181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
