Immigration: House Passes Border Bill for More Federal Agents, Drones

damn i aM READY to dispose of the so called partys and vote for the man or woman on there own meritts we dont need allof them polititians trying to run us and tell us what to do and not do what the people that elected them want this election system needs an overhaul go back to the days of franklin roosevelt and that erea when the wpa and ccc was started to make work for our people and everything was voted on by the people not the politions and we got what the people wanted noy what they wanted anf all the graft wasnt here then that is when it was the united stated people deciding not the idiots in congress and senate and a few more grafters

Maybe the 600 million would have been better spent if we would build a 50 foot high concrete wall. Remember the movie, "escape from New York". It could be tapered larger at the top than the bottom, making it difficult to climb over. The only openings would occur at the border stations.

This would be good for at least 100 years, not just until the 600 million dollars runs out.

I find it amzing some bills get signed right away, so that all the stuff that was added could go through quickly. This very important thing gets pushed back a month.............at least a month. Of course during that time more people will crossing int America and live off us.

You can buy 15 small airplanes (Cessnas) for the price of one drone and the Cessnas don't require a crew of contractors from the factory for maintenance like the drones do. The only purpose of a drone is to protect a live pilot from being shot down which is not a concern for border patrol. A drone still requires a pilot only in a windowless room instead of in the cockpit. So why are we diverting money that could be used for boots on the ground to purchasing drones instead of a cheaper alternative? Maybe this explains it - (from Wikepedia)
General Atomics was the single biggest corporate underwriter of Congressional trips between January 2000 and June 2005, according to a nine-month study of congressional travel disclosure forms. The company spent more than $660,000 on 86 trips taken by members of Congress, their aides and families. Most of that was spent on overseas travel related to the unmanned Predator spy plane made by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems.

Why can't they under stand ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL. Saying undockmented is like saying a drug dealer is a unlicensed pharmist. Obama will do any thing to stay in office and if he does the good old USA is in for a world of hurt and will no longer exist as we know it. HE HAS GOTTA GO and the sooner the better.

So the liberal argument to Arizona that securing the borders had to be part of larger immigration reform was a lie? It's clearly obvious this is just a political move for the democrats before the mid-term election a few months away. More agents and "montioring" yet nothing to enforce laws to deport illegal immigrants already here. It will be interesting to see how many of the were let go by ICE instead of being deported; I'm sure we will here that report very soon (before the mid term elections as well). How about a law that removes federal funding from "Sanctuary Cities". As it stands these cities are getting huge chunks of TARP money while they continuously vioate US immigration laws. additional funding should be going to SECURE the borders, not add to the failures already present!

The problem is much larger then the borders. There is no other country in the world that mandates schools to deal with two differant languages. This cost to the school systems is huge.If some do not want to learn the language then they should find some place else to live. There is no reason for us to have to learn their langauge. If you want to be here learn ENGLISH.

Summer recess? Are you kidding me. What other jobs having "summer recess"! School kids get summer recess. Let them take a one week vacation like the rest of us!

The Dems knew that they could not get the bill for the teachers union funding passed and that the bill for the teachers would not have been reason enough to pull congress off their break. This border bill was tacked onto the teachers bill to get congress back in to vote and get the teachers bill through because anything for boarder control funding would go through quick because it is a HOT issue just in time for elections. So be prepared cause on the campiagn trail they will be preaching HOW WE STRENGTHENED OUR BOARDER. Now since the other troops haven't been deployed to the boarder yet and they were mainly going to be at desks jobs are the troops and added agents going to be allowed to do their jobs, can they shoot to kill if threatened OR will this be a farce and they end up just like the two boarder control agents that are still sitting in jail for doing their job?

Simple answer to both illegals crossing our borders and our huge debt. Bring the troops home from Godforsaken unwinnable wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and put them on all our borders to protect our national security. End of story.
