Two other things I would like to see in Border Patrol ad:

1) A Planet of the Apes type sequence of border patrol officers on horseback descending on a herd of Mexicans and netting them before they cross the border.

2) Mr. Chaps, on horseback of course lassoing a Mexican donning a sombrero, pancho and thick black mustacahe.

This commercial is SO surreal... the first time my wife and I saw it, we couldn't believe it was real!

Oh, and what about the Navy's commercials: "Accelerate your life" -- now THAT is truth in advertising.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PrairieMule', 'H')as anyone noticed recruiting commercials for the US Customs and Border Patrol in their area? In the last few weeks I have seen these ads showing stuntmen and stuntwomen chasing badguys on horses, atvs and suvs. Looked just like ad for the Army, never seen a tv ad for such a thing. I assume its for the southern border. SBC, do you have cactuses and sand dunes up north?

I saw one of these, and couldn't believe my eyes. I thought it was an ad for a new TV show at first. Reminded me of The A Team.

I have heard that's becoming a much tougher job. Because of the walls, patrols, etc., it's become a lot harder to cross the border, and people are becoming desperate. They are now willing to kill border patrol agents in order to get into this country. People who live near the border are terrified; they don't even dare go outside their houses at night.

It's widely believed that around 1 million illegal crossings into the US occur annually. Interestingly this could be slowed to a trickle with the proper utilization of resources. Just about everyone is in agreement on this. But the US government only pretends to patrol the border making this undocumented inflow of around a million people per year the official policy of the US government.

The Border Patrol is a dangerous job, but the brave men and women doing this dangerous duty aren't there to stop the flow of illegal crossings. They're only working to make it appear the US government wants to stop the flow of illegal crossings. Ask any one of them. The Border Patrol servs only as a speed-bump.

The issue of illegal immigration, and the underlying issue of the open borders, is a sensitive one. I wont hide where I stand on the issue, but I also wont attempt to change others opinions.
You either disagree with it or you agree with it.

For those of you who are like myself and are completely disgusted with the governments border policy it may be time that we help the government secure the borders.

How you say?

By sending them a brick. Thats right, we'll send them the bricks they need to build the wall.

We're working on getting media coverage on the event, and it sounds like the White House could be ending up with quite a pile of bricks as it stands now.

Hopefully they'll figure out what to do with all those bricks.

I think you're pissing into the wind on this issue. American industries and agriculture like cheap illegal labour. Do you want to continue enjoying Californian strawberries - amongst many other things - at their current price? I bet most Americans do.

The American Congress is the best democracy money can buy. Until American citizens who are worried about illegal aliens can outbid American industry and agriculture in the purchase of Congressmen, I dont see how the situation can change.

Forgive me if I've got it wrong, but that does seem to be how the system works from my vantage point on the other side of the Atlantic.

Given Drew's comments up above, I think we should encourage all the illegal immigrants (or at least a proportional share) to keep heading north. That way Canada can show us here in the states how Canada would deal with 20 million illegal immigrants.

Say goodbye to national health care.
