...it instantly offensive and view it as anti US propaganda.

I do not, however, view it as offensively as the complete lack of control we exert over our own borders and immigration policies.

I also don't view it as offensively as I have grown to view our occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Vox ftw!

For its part, the open-borders Associated Press attempted to minimize the widespread opposition to the Absolut ad from Americans and persisted in labeling reconquista views “fringe.” I direct them to the speech given two weeks ago in San Bernardino by Hillary Clinton campaign co-chair Dolores Huerta, who railed, “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us” and gloated that immigration enforcement is moot because the reconquista is won. “It’s really too late,” Huerta said. “If 47 million (Latinos) have one baby each . . . it’s already won.”

Maybe Absolut should hire Huerta as its next spokesperson.

Yeah well border control policies have sucked for along time ...... you would not want me in charge of that

....... I'd make the Stasi look like Barney Fife, when it came to finding and deporting Illegals ........ Mexican't or other wise .... TIPS lines, rewards for turning in Illegals ... and Business hiring Illegals .... Profiling Business that hire Illegals ....


I'd declared war on Mexico for fostering this invasion ...... guard towers and Snipers on the Border .....




So you now view our Presence in Afghanistan and Iraq as an Occupation ....

is that because we have not left yet ? and will not be in the foreseeable future .

.. do you consider our presence in Germany, Japan, and Korea as Occupation ?

Of course. There are even awards (ribbons) for being part of the occupation forces in Europe and Japan.

...control is a multi faceted thing, as you've illustrated. Any and all human behavior should be approached from the standpoint of motivation. There is little or no need for much in the way of border control in many of the small border towns; there is families and daily commerce to consider. Strangers bring notice and can be given attention as needed either by state or federal agencies.

Major roads, sure, inspect and monitor. Large towns and cities, same thing.

Open country patrolling should be part of standard military AIT; constant rotation in and out keeps it from being a nightmare assignment, precludes corruption as no one is there long enough to become corrupted and the training would, obviously, be beneficial to a soldier.

Moving on to business; we long since need a national ID card and immigration officers conducting routine background checks and follow up on folks to see if the rules are being followed. A national foreign worker permit relives business of being forced into government function and streamlines the process and gets rid of a huge amount of pressure on illegal immigration itself.

Then, we're just looking at compliance; is a business making sure people have proper ID and worker permits? Are smuggling hot spots being patrolled enough? Are border inspection stations effective and efficient?

Human motivation is a simple thing; just work with it.

Also, I'd legalize drugs and watch all the violence and corruption dry up and with it much of the organized crime that is a threat in any number of areas.
Let cops focus on dealing with illegal weapons, not bales of grass and packages of powders.

Legalize Drugs ..... admittedly most drug control laws were put in place to persecute blacks ....

.... grass

.... Coke .... Heroin ... I suppose people with addictive personalities aka become alkies will become druggies as well .........

would you require a place for someone to shoot up and be high, and stay they come down again .....

It is amazing what you can get @ Pharmacy's in other countries .....

...you can ONLY do drugs at home. Have escalating public use fines. From there, treat it like alcohol; no driving, no public intoxication. Society as a whole should not have to suffer the corruption, hypocrisy and violence over what some moron(s) decide(s) to ingest.
