I really hope they hold this line...There is no way that border security will be enforced once the demo's get their amnesty passed. Plus, despite demo's whispering into some repub's ears about how they need to appeal to the hispanic vote through amnesty, it has never helped in the past...
According to Pew Research it reads as such:
Note that in 1984, AFTER Reagan granted amnesty Mondale garnered 61% of the Hispanic vote over Reagan's 37%, a 24% difference for Mondale. Further, 4 years later, Dukakis, a real laughing stock of a candidate, garnered 69% to H.W. Bush's 25%, a 39% difference for demo's...And finally, G.W. Bush's numbers? Bush was supposedly so in tune with hispanic voters as former Gov. of TX, and a big comprehensive immigration reform proponent only got 40% of the first vote, to Kerry's 58%.....That was the lowest differential in 30 years, but still a full 18% down....
Face it we could grant amnesty to every Hispanic, and their families for the next hundred years, and Hispanic's are NOT going to vote for us, period!
Thoughts?
Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals.

Now let’s look at Mexico’s main immigration law.Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:
- Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)
- Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)
- Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)
Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:
- The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)
- Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)
- A National Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86)
Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:
- A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).
- Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)
Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:
- Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)
- Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)
- Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)
Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,
- Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico — such as working with out a permit — can also be imprisoned.
- “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)
- Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)
Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:
- Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article 126)
- A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)
All of the above runs contrary to what Mexican leaders are demanding of the United States. The stark contrast between Mexico’s immigration practices versus its American
- Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)
immigration preachings is telling. It gives a clear picture of the Mexican government’s agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States.

Ok, well, what's wrong with closing the borders first, and making sure that we don't still have the leaky roof? You seem to be remodeling the room before fixing the leak...
If they can't get government services here, can't work there, they won't come here. How else are we going to close the borders?
As for the criminals, we'll have to deport them. We don't want to have to pay to put them in our jails, after all, and I'm sure they'll be better off in jails in their home countries.
Especially places like Mexico and Guatemala. I hear their prisoners aren't anxious to get back in once they get out.
Close the borders first. Or at least along side of cutting off the gravy train.
Do you really think there is a practical way of closing the border? How?
Yes. We bring home all US troops on foreign soil and station them along the US Border, in their PROPER role. We create a 200 yard "No Man's Land" inside the border. Anyone in that area the ROE is... Stoot First. Shoot Second. Leave it there to rot.

8th amendment, due process, probable cause? who needs it?
Practical.
You're either trying to enter or exit the country illegally, so there is no need for any of that crap.
Really? which federal law makes it illegal to exit the country? please cite the statute.
There are plenty of federal laws related to tresspassing on Federal Property, which that 200 yard buffer zone would be. In many instances deadly force is authorized if you do so.

You would have the government buy up all of the land within 200 yards of the borders and station the military to shoot anyone who tries to cross.
It seems to me that there is already a nation in the world that has such a system in place, one that doesn't want the people from the south to enter their worker's paradise in the north, one that is satisfyingly authoritarian. No doubt it would be worth emulating that nation.
federal property means an installation closed to the public, not public land on the international border. and deadly force is not authorized merely for being in "buffer zones" the "USE OF DEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED" sign looks cool, but it's not how things work. use of deadly force authorized when trying to steal federal property, making armed incursions, etc etc etc. and only when reasonable to do so. tell me how many people who've attempted to enter Area 51 have been shot.... none.
Furthermore, the constitution prohibits use of deadly force except as reasonably nessecary to preserve life (Garner v. Tennessee) and the Constitutional protections apply to aliens as well as citizens.
people go up to the border all the time. there's towns that literally touch the border, your kill team going to execute the entire population of Nogales? cemetaries, missions, other historic sites are located on the border, and the areas on the border are popular with hikers, backpackers etc. your idea is a stupid one. and it's totally illegal.
Civilized people call that murder.The should be shooting those people. Maybe the dead bodies would deter the next group thinking about coming onto the property.
Then get out of this country.Realize that I have next to no use for the US Constitution at this point.
That 200 yard perimeter would be bulldozed flat to the ground. It's that simple. Since there would be no legal crossing points, that really wouldn't be too much of an issue.

1. Civilized people call that murder.
2. Then get out of this country.
3. Most people would consider bulldozing a Mexican town to be an act of war.
1. No need really, just stop putting out water stations to help in the desert.
2.Invaders have never been shielded by constitution in the past and they shouldn't be now.
3. I don't particularly like the idea, but I suppose it's a better use of emminent domain then we generally see these days.
No. I'd have the Government CONFISCATE that land, along with a similar buffer along the Canadian border. Eventually it would be constructed to be a dual level defensive perimeter that would make the coastal defenses of Normandy look like paper mache. Between the levels would be a "no man's land/minefield" with overwatch from the interior defensive perimeter and electronic surveilance..
well I guess those of us up here in the PNW and the mountain midwest will have to give you a demonstration of the 2nd amendment if you ever get into power... considering the significant connection we have to canada up here.... especially trade wise.
Then maybe you folks should seceed and join Canada if you like Canadians so much. Wonder how well your sight picture looks hopped up on all that legal marijuana out there.
I wonder how yours will look when you're put on baker hold and forced to take your meds...
Already dealt with.... My Living Will demands that I not be given any food or water if ever forcibly sent to a hospital or mental health facility. 8-10 days and it's all over.
ha, your living will does not forbid the police from declaring you a danger to yourself and others (which you probably are) and sending you to the wacky shack for 48 hours for observation......
