Nope, we have to start hanging these guys up by their balls and shooting them down like the scum that they are. This goes for anyone trying to cross our boarders illegally, male, female and children. Cruel as it sounds, it has to be done or sooner or later our country is going to be over run by illegal people crossing our boarders whenever they want to.

A. I question the relationship of illegal aliens to drug smuggling
B. If you think that the use of drugs will ever be stopped by law you know nothing about history. There was a time in china when smoking opium was punished by death. I don't mean going to court. I mean the cop on the beat sticking a sword in you right there. That did not cut down on opium smoking - now what else could be tried. Drugs need to be legalized and available from liquor stores. They would be cheap and the violence associated with drug use would disappear. The tons of money being poured down the rat hole of drug enforcement could be use for other things with enough of it going to education and treatment so that anybody that wanted off drugs could get help. The drug problem would be the same as the alcohol, nicotine, and trans fatty acid problem.

With over 10,000 illegals coming into country each month, how could the government possibly be doing enough to stop drug smuggling?

No. Kills me when a kid can get in more trouble for having 2 midol in their purse at school than a smuggler gets. The border is wide open so his "war on drugs" is pretty useless.

Hell no, they aren't doing anything except punishing people who are trying to do the right thing about the drug smugglers coming in, like those 2 border agents who were WRONGLY convicted.

Had you heard recently, that one of the border patrol men had shot an illegal immigrant (in the rear?), and he was arrested, and now sits in prison..
The illegal immigrant was a drug smuggler, who turned around and sued the border patrolman! And won!!
Sad, isn't it..

Hell no, they rather throw Border Patrol agents in jail for shooting them. This country is lost. I vote we burn it all down, fire nukes at the rest of the world and say F it.

No, we need to build a wall, go after illegals' jobs by going after employers.

UH, NO! They want to call us vigilante's? That's fine and dandy, makes me no difference. We are undocumented militarized border patrol agents. REGULATORS--Shoot on sight.
