If we gave up borders all the mexicans would come here to mow our grass.... and terrorists and stuff could get in which would not be good.... we could take over mexico :-p

Go borderless?

That Mexican official can go jump off a really high bridge. In his dreams!

if that's not the stuff of dreams, I don't know what is!

This idea is absoluely preposterous. Mexico is just a little to lax on their immigration laws and without a border, every terrorist in the World would be pouring into the US via Mexico. Fortunately, this would NEVER happen.

Haha! If the Mexican-US border were erased I would laugh...then cry...but that's just a stupid idea.

I think we have a dotted line for a border now...the immigrants (potential terrorists) squeeze through the open dashes...

Another reason to take care of our own garden and stop lecturing the neighbors on how to grow theirs...

Bring the troops home from Germany now and station them at bases built along our borders!

That Mexican official who had this bright idea must be smokin some good ganja!

I wasn't aware we had one, hehe.... I'm more of the concrete walls with automated machine gun turrets mentality when it comes to Mexican borders...

Sure open the border, but Mexico must become a US state or states!

Not for us kids here on the border. Sure, we still think its silly...but at the same time we see that HAVING a border is just as silly. 75% of our population is hispanic. haha minority my butt.

There is talk on the internet of a Pax Americana future where the whole continent is borderless and under the control of one government. It is said that this is the reason why the Bush admin is so lax on illegal immigrants and why there is a proposed bill to allow illegals to work in the US under certain conditions. This would be the first stage of the much maligned "New World Order".

The amount of Mexicans crossing the border daily is apparently a huge number and is only getting higher. All they have to do is give birth to one baby on American soil and it becomes an American citizen. You have to ask yourself what would happen if, say, Mexican numbers in California increased so much that their vote had massive influence over the policies of candidates for Governorship. ie. having such critical numbers that Governors introduced policies which would ensure their election by the majority Mexican vote, which may or may not be in the best interests of a shrinking number of generational American citizens in California. This is why it is important than ever that all Americans vote, as organised mass votes by minorities can be enough to sway an election in their favour if enough majority generational Americans do not vote. Think about that.

There's a Mexican / US border. It's just north of New York City :-)))))))))))) I guess that's what everyone means. Looking out the window I dont see a U.S. citizen anywhere. Looks like Mexico to me. I'm just waiting for them to change the stop signs around here to alto signs.

As far as terrorist go, they can come and go as they please. There's nothing to stop them if they just keep trying to enter, no problem. I dont see the border stopping anyone else from getting here so why should it stop terrorist?

if he wants the border gone fine then we'll annex mexico, stick a flag in it and call it the 51st state. end of the immigration problem and then you get rid of the mexican government.

him wanting to get rid of the border only serves them, not everyone. they have everything to gain from it, what do we gain? underpaid illegals cutting grass or picking fruit and being mistreated? sorry i'd rather pay more for my oranges in the long run.

Not many people outside Texas know this, but the famous Texas Rangers were originally organized only to keep Mexicans from entering the US illegally.

The Rangers' most effective method was simply shooting trespassers from across the border. This procedure wiped out illegal immigration in the State until subsequent laws prevented the organization from continuing the practice.

Now armed farmers along the border of at least one state are again patrolling their farms along the border. I'm told that none are getting through across their land at this time.

Why does Cruz say this? I read the article, but it doesn't explain why. I googled, but I could not find Arturo Gonzalez Cruz saying this at all. Fox doesn't quote him, but just says he said it. I even checked the Federation for American Immigration Reform, that Fox implies rebukes the statement. Does anybody have a link besides Fox?

Does this mean their gonna change the color of Mexico on those little spinning globes from orange and blend it in with the green united states. The it would look like some kinda Tex-Mex cheesy salsa

Just when you thin youve got these things memorized some sneaky guy has got to go changing things around

Wow...I didn't really know it was green
Thanks for the pic Sauron - want some cheesy salsa? j/k

The border as it is now is a joke they need military on the border to stop the drugs and violent crimals from coming to the US. But they should have some type of guest worker program for all the honest workers.
