Enough is Enough! Seal the Border with Mexico, NOW!

Illegal Immigration is swamping the US. The government seems set on doing nothing of any substance about illegal immigration, so the states will have to take matters into their own hands and seal their borders themselves with the aid of each state’s National Guard troops.

This may well be one of the powers left to the states by the constitution. It needs to be checked.

Someone has suggested that each southern border state drop back a half mile, or a mile, from the actual border of Mexico and erect a fence or wall which would interlock with their neighboring state’s wall, or fence, and create a second border within each state. Check points could be set up and manned by Guardsmen, and the fence could be patrolled by each state’s (armed) National Guardsmen.

The second border would create a no-man’s land within which illegals, getting past the US Border Patrol, would be trapped. In the southwestern desert, this may entail some deaths on the part of the illegals.

Those who do get through both fences, and are captured, should be assigned to work camps, set up in the southwestern desert, for ten to fifteen years and be forced to work at hard labor until their sentence is complete. Then, they should be transported back to Mexico, or whatever their country of origin.

It may well seem far fetched, and even hard, but it’s coming, or something very like it, is coming.

Let’s face it, the two, political parties, in power now, will not do anything about illegal immigration. They have their reasons. The Democrats see the illegals as voters and the Republicans see them as cheap labor. Cuts to the quick, doesn’t it? But, there you have it.

It has become clear the only relief we folks in the southern states will get is relief we get for ourselves by taking matters into our own hands.

The US Border Patrol is ineffective, period. We need “state troops” on the borders of each state bordering Mexico. Armed state troops.

Americans need to say no to any amnesty program for illegals already in the country. Round them up and intern them for fifteen or twenty years.

We know how to stop this flood of illegals across our border and we have the capability. What our political leaders lack is the will to do what needs to be done.

Enough is enough!

Let’s have a candidate for President who has the cajones to run on stopping illegal immigration. He, or she, already has my vote!
