Why can't our government simply enforce the laws? They seem to have no problem enforcing laws that are shaky at best, and going to the wall with the prosecutions. But ask them to enforce the security of our own borders, something the federal government is responsible for, and they begin to dither.<BR/><BR/>Unthinkable!benninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883327259794768568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25204748.post-92147716292853522912007-10-06T11:13:00.000-07:002007-10-06T11:13:00.000-07:00Robert,You think we out to get a room here?... you...Robert,<BR/><BR/>You think we out to get a room here?... you should get a load of the back and forth we had a his place on his last posting..., I had to seriously check myself after that....

I know... it is so much part of my personna. I use it like a good condiment on a medium rare steak. Not too many people get it, and some find the habit offenive or annoying, therefore I have to know who my audience is before I let go the trigger. <BR/><BR/>Your comments are appreciated, and you are most correct, it is easier to consider a point of view outside your own, when it is presented to you saliently and with enough trasparency so as to welcome to opinion with full reflection and consideration. <BR/><BR/>In the final view, (and this is a point I love to tell my Liberal friends), if America is so bad, then why are so many people trying to get in rather than get out?...Your point about others besides Latinos being a reason to be vigilant is especially noteworthy. I've posted on the subject myself a few times I think, or commented elsewhere at times, but the blow-back I get is fierce with accusations of xenophobia and racism. So be it, I know who I am and what the composition of my heart really is. <BR/><BR/>Again, your comments are welcomed, and if you allow, I will add your Blod to my "other bullhorns" section. I enjoy having views of all kinds in there, and yours fits the bill perfectly.Dardin Sotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860312622246919118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25204748.post-43209088059531969852007-10-05T06:32:00.000-07:002007-10-05T06:32:00.000-07:00Jen,".... for being a Libertarian, you actually ma...Jen,<BR/>".... for being a Libertarian, you actually make sense, even to a conservative like me".... <BR/><BR/>Don't worry Jen, I hear that a lot, and its probably because, a) I really am not a pure Libertarian per se, and b) most people don't realize that there are real traditional conservative beliefs in the Libertarian platform. Which by-the-way, gives me an idea for another rant.....hmmmm<BR/><BR/>I acknowledge the fact that there are many facets to the immigration issue that can't be addressed simply by putting up a barrier. The law enforcement and visa policies have to be severely overhauled as well. I just concentrated on the fence issue for now, its way to heavy of a topic to do it justice in a single rant.

It made me visit yours. You write well. And with a well placed since of sarcasm that I find quite entertaining. <BR/><BR/>Your points: Well made. They give me pause. (to all those idiots who've accused me otherwise, See? I can reassess my hard nosed position were someone to simply make a logical point)<BR/><BR/>I still think we should do all we can to make illegal entry into this country "difficult". If that means that all I can hope for is that the offending have to climb a razor wire fence lined with sensors and flares, so be it. (Personally, I'd throw in a mine field or machine gun nest or two) There is the real danger that all who cross our borders aren't Central Americans fleeing oppressive economic woes. There is the real possibility / probability that some may be of middle eastern descent and are coming in this country to do more than make a buck to send home to Madre and Padre. The premise that "They're going to get in anyway, just open the gates" doesn't bode well with me. But you're right, a fence is not the answer....at least not a fence alone.<BR/><BR/>However acknowledging your points #4 and 5, as essential. I would add that the United States is one of the few countries on the planet with a long line to get in. If I were king, I would find a way to streamline that effort. It shouldn't take you 10-15 years to gain citizenship if that's what you truly desire. Positive identification with a clean criminal background check ought to get you a green card. Learning our language, laws and system of government and maintaining gainful employment and a clean criminal record should get you your coveted citizenship. (<I>squeezing out a youngin' while you're here should not. A child born to Guatemalans in the US, ought to be Guatemalan.</I>) If the citizenship line were shorter, and the reward for the short wait were greater, perhaps there wouldn't be so many jumping over to the "self check-out" line of the fence hoppers.Wadicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759878578214086966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25204748.post-11213304862104253182007-10-04T19:49:00.000-07:002007-10-04T19:49:00.000-07:00Obob,I prefer Seagram's myself,... but pure Rum in...Obob,<BR/>I prefer Seagram's myself,... but pure Rum in a low tumbler with ice made out of Tonic water is to die for...<BR/><BR/>Glas you appreciate the humor,... its hard to Blog in too serious of a mode,...

LOL<BR/><BR/>Although I know there is a huge illegal immigrant problem, I really had no easy answers. <BR/><BR/>There is always a wall, but like you said, "Show me a 25 foot high fence, and I'll show you a 26 foot ladder" Funny as hell and a very good point. Also very expensive. I agree with you on the 14th Amendment....nix it completely. The one thing you didn't mention though is exporting the ones we have in here, especially those that have committed a crime. We need to find some way to toss their butt's back on thier own soil. Of course I don't have any answers for that, if I did, I'd be running for office!
