Chertoff states that we have "good relations with the Mexicans". What does it mean to have good relations with a country that is traditionally a kleptocracy and has been over the last decade or so been morphing into a narco-state? I think the "good relations" thing is about the sending of millions of Mexicans north to lower wages and therefore benefit Chertoff's cronies(or is it paymasters?).

Hostile foreign forces are crossing the border into the US, in armed formation: this is war. How traitorous then, for the administration to say that they have good diplomatic relations with Mexico. Good for what, the facilitation of invasion? Do we have a military and do they have relatives? Why aren't millions upon millions of these demanding a proper military response? There must be troops on the border in large numbers, and punitive raids into the bribocracy itself. The pipsqueak puppet of druggocracy must be made to squeal for a letup.

Yes, it's a pipeline for cheap labor, but it only provides more profits to companies, not cheaper prices to the consumer. Why should they passon the savings to us? Unchecked population growth is also a very effective way to keep housing prices up, which provides tax property revenues, and other taxes to the State and IRS. It all keeps the immigration/welfare lobby happy and the right wing bosses happy. I think most people though would be happy to reduce their home's net worth a bit if it meant they weren't supporting half the world that's coming to America.

Hey, I just got this ingenious idea that will solve our shortage of cheap labor, so that we can go back to defending our borders like any other sovereign country. All we have to do is stop paying people to not work.

Of course the Mexican Army is crossing into the United States. I believe there has been confirmation of that by both civilian and law enforcement personnel here in America. If it wasn't true, then why would American government officials and Mexican government officials be having a big "pow-wow" about it? If any police officer or border patrol officer sees such an incursion into U.S. territory, then the violators should be arrested. If the U.S. Border Patrol is telling their officers to hide and refrain from arresting the violators, then they are doing a disservice to the country they are sworn to protect. I realize that two Border Patrol officers would be foolish to tell a heavily armed company of Mexican soldiers---"Freeze! You're under arrest!" But, that's why the American taxpayers build attack helicopters and airplanes. When you find a foreign army invading your country, you call in a fucking air strike! Goddamn it, why do I pay taxes. There, now you have the solution to the problem. I would appreciate it if our government would get on the stick and start protecting our country TODAY!

Of course, no one is asking what the Mexican military is doing so close to our border to start with. We are not a hostile power and we have no designs on Mexican territory, so it's not as if they are in fear of an imminent invasion. The only possible explanation for the Mexican army's presence is to facilitate illegal immigration and drug smuggling.
