It was a pleasure. We have been fortunate enough to see our men and women in action on the border in many situations and I have always been impressed. Your job is not an easy one, especially when politicians can’t decide on what the heck to do, or they continue to change their minds. Then factor in the immigrant rights groups and all the other pressure groups and wow…your job isn’t easy.

Thank you for your service and for the good work your men and women do.

Adam

Thanks you.

Adam

I am not discounting your opinion whatsoever, I hope you realize that. Our problems run very deep and while we are the greatest nation on the face of this earth, we have got to deal with them. This would start with our legal and court system.

Adam

Thank you for your intrest in our border security mission and the recent trip to our Border Patrol Sector. The story was well done and provided a rare glimpse into the inherent dangers that my agents face each and every day protecting America. Keep up the great work and visit us again soon.

Very Respectfully,

Mike Fisher
Chief Patrol Agent
San Diego Sector

Until we make a reason to entice their departure there’ll be a problem.
I know my idea was too extreme but had hoped someone -with more smarts than me- might have some input on such a way.
Obviously, a plan to remove the incentive to come here is needed but then again, thats not how we’re fighting our ‘War on Drugs”.
As long as there’s a market for the goods or services…blah, blah..
Thanks for your input.

an illegal alien…..

oh but don’t ask Hillary…… as she said in Las Vegas….there is no illegal woman or illegal man.

My money is on our border agents and besides, why would they kill for a uniform when they can just buy a fake one?? Anyway, our agents are all very connected, they’ll spot an impostor in a second.

Heck, half the time the times change and we are basically just in standby. I can warn you of the days, but times are tough to figure sometimes.

……..the Berlin Wall was built to keep the Communist Government’s Citizens in their country….the wall on our southern border would be built to keep other countries citizens OUT of our country…….

Not one citizen or legal resident of this country should have to go hungry, be denied a job, education or government benefits because an illegal is getting any of those benefits.

The illegals should not EVER have the same rights that I have.

The only rational solution is to first INVITE all illegals to return to their original country voluntarily and do it with the whole family and all their money & property. Those that choose to stay and take their chances should then be apprehended and sent to Deportation Centers. Where their cases can be decided in a Quick & Speedy Process. Then deported to their country of origin.

Those that have stayed should have their property & funds seized in order to finance their sheltering while awaiting a Deportation Hearing and to send them (& their families) back to their country of origin.

Deportation Centers could be set up at former Military Bases that have been closed by the Pentagon & Congress, thus the facilities would already be available for housing & security and even transportation via aircraft/runways/etc.

Just as the United States cannot be the World Police Force, we cannot take the total number of refugees, undesireables and unwanted of the entire world.

This will not be the same place I grew up in… in the next 20 years…
so sad…

with all the jobs being outsourced … all the illegals …. *shakes head*

all I can do is pray for our country and for our lawmakers to do the right thing.

Not all those who cross illegally are from Mexico … A LOT are from Guatemala …

I’m not a racist, I am a patriotic American …

BUT …

I used to work at a company in Los Angeles that had absolutely NO PROBLEM with knowingly hiring illegal aliens … They also hired “white” people to the “face” & “voice” of the company … The illegals got paid the SAME amount as the “whites” … Though, they got paid in cash (so they had no deductions from their pay) … The illegals (as well as the legal employees of Hispanic descent) were treated BETTER than the whites because the owners were Sephardic Jews (the ones that the muslims started kicking out of Spain in the 1100s-1200s & later) … The owners would talk to the hispanics in Spanish, even though they all spoke English … Some of the illegals were from Mexico & some were from Guatemala … If something went wrong with the clientele, it was the whites that would always have to “fix” the mess & placate the clientele … When disgruntled employees would call the Feds, they’d just scoff it off … We tried INS (immigration & naturalization service) & they didn’t care … We tried the IRS because the owners kept 2 sets of books & the IRS didn’t care … Heck, LAPD didn’t even care and some were regular clientele (& 1 officer was even married to an employee) …

There was one ironic thing – 2 of the illegals looked down on the others (Those two were actually much better educated than the others – Even more surprising was they spoke better English than people born here in the US – They didn’t even really have an accent either) … It was strange to see basically a class warfare between illegals (even from the same country) …

No worries. AND I always have change, or so it seems.

The only citizens born in the USA are those born to citizens and legal immigrants.

The portion of the amendment which could be challenged, is the “and of the State wherein they RESIDE”. The word “reside” is not defined. But, could a woman entering the country simply to give birth really be a resident of the state?

Consider this, a person from one state who elects to attend college in another state is required to pay “out of state tuition”. However, this same person can elect to establish “residency”, but this usually requires “living in the state a minimum of 6 months – and most are 1 year!

And, how do they establish “residency”? The usual requirements are: show a legal address on your drivers license issued in the state in which you are seeking residence, have your vehicle registered in that state, show valid employment – i.e. pay stubs, tax forms.

So, again, why do illegal aliens (they are not immigrants, in my mind) get a pass on these rules?

Below is just the first portion of the 14th Amendment – the one cited by all as to why a child born here is “entitled” to be an immediate citizen.

Amendment 14 – Citizenship Rights. Ratified 7/9/1868. Note History

1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

What was the purpose of the 14th Amendment?

The 14th was designed to ensure that all former slaves were granted automatic United States citizenship, and that they would have all the rights and privileges as any other citizen. The amendment passed Congress on June 13, 1866, and was ratified on July 9, 1868

I say: Amen.

Aritha-That’s a pitiful story.

Terri- Next stop Grassfire.

I question why it is so impossible to deport some 10 million illegals? Recent studies have shown that a computation of the continued support of the illegals from all government & private resources (diverted from legal residents and citizens) would far surpass the cost of the deportation of the same number of people.

The recent prosecutions & disciplinary actions against our Officers & Agents on the Border have been widely publicized in Latin America. The publicity has only emboldened those Latinos wanting to cross the border illegally. They would like nothing better than to cause further ‘embarassment’ to the USA, the Border Patrol, etc. in order to cause more and more controversy and confusion on the part of the citizens and leaders in the US.

The fact that we have over-zealous Federal Prosecutors that appear to be acting at the behest of our sitting (on his hands) President, does nothing to dissuade the potential illegals from trying to cause an “international” incident.

There is also the ‘back’ story regarding the apparent groundwork being laid for a North American Union similar to the European Union…..with Open Borders, a common currency (the Amero) and a usurping of National Sovereignty and the US Constitution.

I am seriously worried that this nation will not resemble anything like what I grew up to love, respect & serve.

We’ve also discussed this incursion stuff in the past year during our coverage of the border issues.
