When I went to Ciudad Juarez and walked back across the border I noticed thousands of people crossing the border with border crossing cards but less than half that many going back to Mexico with these cards? A naturalized citizen who drives a bus in El Paso told me that when El Paso wants more workers immigration which is both in El Paso connected to the consulate in Ciudad Juarez hands out more border crossing cards. Most do not go back and they go to work somewhere in the U.S. A border crossing card is not a work permit it is a very inexpensive temporary tourism permit. So why put up a fence when the consulates who have been caught many times stealing from their own systems are letting them in whenever El Paso wants cheap labor? Isn't it a slap in the face of military people who serve/d in Iraq for the INS/USCIS immigration not be fixed?

If they are in the military they are not illegal. I am not cricitizing Hispanics I am talking about the fact immigration is letting people in to work without work permits as they wish. And still is not following rules for student visas. We have thousands of student visa recipients working with student visas locally who never finished the requirements for a student visa but as the immigration does not get money for the other required part I guess they did not care.

Go read my information about me and see my 360 page before you jump to conclusions. I am prior service. I am married to a man who is an Indian from Mexico. I speak Spanish also. Do you read anything that was written below a question?

That was just unbelievable. As I was a teacher and have both legal along with eligible for Political Asylum Rain Forest Indian friends I am aware that there were students who were educated in the U.S. but not legal citizens such that I suggested to my friends to go up the chain and see if they entered the military if they could become legal which is allowed but then I asked them to find someone to locate those who were good hard working people not jail birds to get them an opportunity to repay the system for educating them and allow them to become legal. You need to read what is written because you accidentally made John Kerry look accurate about the intelligence of the military. I served in the Army twice.

Yes...I believe it is. I just wish the troops would realize WHY they are over there in the first place. We need desprately to secure OUR own borders. But actually...my main concern is that the true enemy is 'within'...if you know what I mean. And I'm not talking about illegals.
