"SECURITY", what in the hell is that

No more than 2 hours ago, I had the latest in a long line of illegals show up at my door seeking (in vain) a ride to El Cajon!

Now I live less than a mile (as the crow flies) from the international border with Mexico, and about 20 miles north east of Tecate, Mexico, the point at which many illegals begin their journey into the promised land!

I have seen a multitude of illegals passing this way, but only two have impressed me as genuinely in dire straits! The first, a young (muy hermosa- very beautiful) gal, mid twenties, who had been abandoned by her group when she sprained an ankle, and the second (a young man - today), genuinely terrified and crying! The kind of kid that could remind you of your own brother or son, and that hurts!!

"Also, the environment around here can be deadly. The weather, the critters and the topography can be mortally vicious to the unprepared and the unsuspecting!"

The point is, that our Border Patrol, whom these these illegals are told are brutal and uncaring (and this is "NOT" true), is stretched super thin. Also, unless you have a trained eye, many of these illegals look a lot like "Middle Easterners!" Only their accents, and in some cases builds, give them away! Ergo, if any hostile is hell bent on getting into the country, they can do it relatively easily (opinion)! "Now don't that make you feel secure?"

Again, we have a magnificent Border Patrol, but they can do just so much with the recourses they are furnished! But tell me this, my friend, what the hell deterrent do we have when our government treats these terrorist bums with kid gloves? Were our people caught in their nations, "well, you know the fatal drill!!"

Bottom line - "If we continue to fight an enemy using his rules, we will lose!" We worry far to much about world opinion and our (wannabe) "One World Masters at the United Nations!!"

Naturally, I abhor it when our government restricts it's citizen's rights, then allows the UN, NATO and a few "International Ass-Holes" a free hand! Apparently, some in power worry more about world opinion than they do about the mere rights and liberties of our own people!

"Who empowers government anyway - the people of our nation that's who, and "NOT" the whims of a few of our part-time allies?" If the latter (foreign entities) do (currently) have that much control over our government, lives and liberties, then by all means, beg them for campaign donations, their votes, and their dedicated military service, in 2004! And while you are at it, try relying upon their patriotism come the next conflict in Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Yemen, Syria, or where have you!

Come to think of it, just how much money and influence is exerted from abroad?
