   I have to tell you, this just gets me fired up.  If the border states are asking for more resources, and Americans are getting killed because of this border violence, then damn it, send the the reinforcements.  And if you can’t send the military or enough border patrol folks to get the job done, then contract it out. I guarantee that plenty of folks would answer the call if there was a demand for such a thing.

   But my guess is that because of the politics of the matter, the feds are trying to hold off doing anything effective or visible like this.  But like I have mentioned before, the deaths of Americans trump politics any day of the week, and the citizens of the border states are getting pissed.  Especially after the death of Americans a few weeks back, and the recent death of rancher Robert Krentz.  Robert’s death will come to symbolize what is going on at the border, and for today’s federal government not to act upon this, will only further erode the people’s trust in that government.

   I also have a suggestion for how to enforce the border.  If an immigrant wants to ‘illegally’ enter into this country, then I say treat them like criminals.  I say put up massive tent city prisons along the borders, and instead of  shipping these folks back to Mexico, put them in these outdoor prisons and have them serve some time.  I would put Sheriff Joe Arpaio in charge of the whole thing, and truly make the act of ‘illegally’ entering into the US a punishable offense.

   We could also use those prisoners for work details along the border.  They could help repair roads, pick up trash that other illegal immigrants left, repair the fence, help repair damage done to personal property like Robert Krentz’s ranch and otherwise pay the US for their crimes in the form of labor. I would imprison them all too.  Murderers, drug smugglers, people smugglers, etc.  Keep them all detained, and have them all enjoy the great outdoors at a tent city for awhile. –Matt

Edit: Be sure to check out Sheriff Joe’s inmate powered bicycle generator project. lol He is tweeting about it as we speak.

States Boost Border Security as Pleas to Washington Go Unmet

March 31, 2010

Border states are looking to take matters into their own hands, boosting law enforcement to patrol for illegal immigrants while their pleas for federal assistance go unmet in the wake of the killing of a prominent Arizona rancher.
