Cost
WOW!!! The Feds sure do know how to spend money. Why dont they give my Agency the 2.1 Million Dollars and me and my guys will go down there and kill of the plant life and keep the rest. The government can barely scrape up the money to keep the Drug Task Forces alive, but they can spend 2.1 mil on poisoning plant life!

border
What ever it takes , just do something, sitting around talking about it does not accomplish anything but allowing more roaches to cross the border.
All this hype about sending more agents to the border to curtail illegals, stop the violence, intercept the drugs and guns, that is the biggest bunch of crap I have ever heard. I am down here , nothing has changed, the wetbacks are still coming, I see them on my ranch every day headed north, avg. 30 a day , we call the BP but they seem to always be busy and "will get there when we can" don't see a lot of change here, business as usual, damn shame we are allowing this to happen.

Anyone old enough to remember paraquat (spelling)?

We sprayed it to kill pot plants. Was toxic to humans.

Everyone was up in arms about smokers dying of paraquat ingestion, also harmed those who harvested the plants.

If the feds owned a 100 meter wide strip along the border, and planted claymores....
