    AP(associated progressives), now there's a news source that's unbiased, nonpartisan, and objective. Over 356,000 apprehensions, no mention of arrests or deportations. What about the pregnant mothers and their ticket(anchor baby) to a plethora of federal, state and local assistance programs. Federal government, being the benevolent, all-knowing, all-seeing benefactor that it is, we are to assume that the facts presented are accurate. Don't mention the OTM'S (other than mexicans), they bring with them an unparalleled sense of loyalty and patriotism. Undocumented? They have more ID papers than I do, and I'm a citizen. Let's give a warm round of applause to diversity, multi-culturism, and political correctness.

    Dear reader: If only 1% were radical Islamists bent on destroying our civilization, then we have, according to govn't statictics, only 3,500 terrorists waiting for the perfect opportunity. GOD HELP US!

    One thing that baffles me is that both sides are ignoring interior security and immigration enforcement. It is not enough to attempt to stop them at the border. We also need to police our employers to ensure they abide by the rules and if the Obama administration will not deport the illegals, the very least the feds can do is to confiscate their fraudulent documents. However, if they are using stolen social security numbers, it should be automatic detention and prosecution.

    I lived in Los Angeles and would drive down to San Diego before dawn to go out on a 3/4 day boat, ocean fishing. The moment you were driving along side the US Marine Corps' Camp Pendelton...you moved over from the slow lane to the fast lane because you never knew when an Illegal Alien or a family of them would dart in front of your car trying to get to the other side of the Freeway. Heaven help you if you hit one of them. You would be looking at $50,000 in legal fees on up just to defend yourself in Court. Coming North back to Los Angeles you positioned yourself either in the fast lane or the slow lane because you never knew when the car in front of your would stop just before the Immigration Checkpoint and the front and rear doors would fly open and the trunk would pop open and a zillion Illegal Aliens would go running with traffic and across traffic on the Freeway.

    I just read a report on a 12mile long section of the US Border on Tohono O'odham Reservation land that saw 350 Illegal Aliens crossing on just one night....the night of the 23rd of March, 2012. Multiply 350 by 365 days of the year and you get....127,750 Illegal Aliens from Mexico on a 12mile stretch of the US Border .....127,750.......Folks.

    If this is acceptable to you, don't both saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America.

    Leon: We have far too many illegals and their supporters who don't believe in the pledge of allegiance anyway. Now, throw up the Mexican flag and they go nuts.
