Monitoring our borders is not xenophobic. It’s prudent. We are not shutting down the borders or disallowing immigration. We just need international travel done the right way.

I agree with AVM on the legalization of cannabis. Drug traffic is a huge part of the illegal crossings and a cause of much of the border violence. Not only would legalization cut down the traffic, with proper regulation and taxation we would also add billions to the state and federal coffers.

Who’s watching the people watching the cameras?

This is a great idea, has great potential…We could put camera’s up everywhere and put them on the internet, citizen watchers could report to the citizen local groups to stop stun or otherwise subdue anyone who may look like they are up to no good…We could actually install camera in all homes and watch each other…Hey I think it would give some people a reason to live, and keep them busy…this is Billy Bob’s and all church ladies dream volunteer job….COOL! And you could prove how patriotic you are, get the kids involved have a Youth Movement to spy on mom and dad, that would really keep us in line…God Bless America…Yeee Haaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEEDED - WALL STREET AND NEOCON CITIZEN MONITORING

It is obvious that it would be FAR MORE useful to monitor Wall Street and the Neocons with citizen stakeouts.

About now, most people would be quite happy to hear that the last eight years had been avoided, and the financial meltdown cancelled, by timely citizen stakeouts.

GO progressive vigilante action. Prevent the next Wall Street / Neocon scam BEFORE it takes place NEXT TIME.

Total waste of resources It would only take two actions to dramatically improve the situation on your southern border.

1)Start giving serious jail time to the bosses and ceos whose companies are caught with illegals in their employ
also compel the company pay all the costs of repatriation of the illegal and of course the boss’s incarceration

2)legalize cannabis possession and allow individuals to grow their own supply
Plus tax the s%%t out of it

not only would this work but would save money

I don’t know of any countries that have open borders.  Nothing but xenophobes everywhere you go.
