The border wars are heating up. Obama to send troops to mexico border

Meh this will do nothing.

All I gotta say is this give us a 1,000 troops with guns at the border. We need to make these people aware they are not welcome here

Home is crap and America welcomes them with open arms. Illegals even have parades for Christ’s sake. They’re now in your face about breaking society’s laws and living there illegally. You think this problem is going to get solved? Get used to it, folks.

I’ll never stop making fun of that horrible place. Apologies in advance.

omfg it makes me so mad that i cant lay sheetrock for $6 an hour cuz of these fucking illegal immigrants.

"Mexico has traditionally objected to the use of military forces to control undocumented migration, saying such measures would criminalize migrants and open the way for potential abuse. "

This made me laugh… Oh nooooes lets not victimize the poor illegals by sicking the big bad military after them-- their feelings might get hurt! Oh wait! I said “illegals”, that’s offensive! I meant “undocumented migrant worker/citizen”. Whew… that was a close one!

:bluu:

:u: People have continued to play word games and stopped even saying “undocumented.” I believe when their President was up here, lecturing us about how bad we are because we have a border, he just said “migrants.”

While I don’t believe Mexico’s hypocrisy is necessarily a valid rebuttal, it goes worth mentioning that their immigration policies are certainly more discerning than what they’re asking us to let [unlawful] Mexican migrants to get away with in coming here, and their treatment of immigrants is several orders of magnitude worse than our own:

Amnesty International.

Oh, shit: Mexico pres called Obama and told him not to defend the border, and only use the troops to stop drugs and arms…and he caved. Troops are now officially down there for nothing (cuz we know the cartels are too smart to try that shit where there are troops), or to possibly prevent Border Patrol from doing their job. Administration of evil zealots, or criminally naive…hard to tell which. Everything they CLAIM to be trying to do, they do everything they possibly can to cause the opposite.

Its official our President sucks dude is getting walkied on by mexico, and can’t even stop his country from being invaded

The border is just under 2000 miles long, do you really think that adding 1000 people on it is going to make a significant difference?

Done correctly, yes. If they are gonna keep on playing these political games, then no. From the looks of things, it’ll be more game playing. :tdown:

That’s this current crop of democrats for you: everything has to be political to them. They can’t just say “FUCK IT!” and do what has to be done. Everything has to be political and make them come off as not being “mean”, so they do whatever they can to look “nice”…while in reality they just look like pussies, and lose the respect of the failing foreign countries they’re pandering to.

^This right here is just about everything I want to say in one post.

This is just appeasement. Why do you think McCain immediately responded with “we really need 6000 (> 9000?) troops.” when he’s now totally flip-flopped on the issue anyway. Obama doesn’t want to give the Republicans more ammo against the Democrat opponents in the upcoming elections so he tosses them a few crumbs.

And about Calderon’s visit to the US and the comments he made. Seriously, US. Are you really berating a foreign state for interfering in another [media=youtube]VV7YBnf6IHs"]country’s affairs? Pot, meet [URL=“http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/1899BalanceCartoon.jpg”[/media]. That was the first thing that went through my mind when callers started calling in after it aired on C-span. :tup:

^True. I didn’t read it all yet, but when it comes to having one’s nose in some other country’s buisness, The US has an elephant’s trunk.
