Im with you here. I dont believe this for a minute. This is propoganda plain and simple.

Very well orchestrated propoganda I might add....for this article was obviously written for the uninformed, and for those who believe everything they read by the media.

"Then, in December 2005, the U.S. government started prosecuting everyone the Border Patrol picked up for illegal entry, a misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to 6 months in county, state and federal jails for a first offense."

Everyone? This is an outright lie!

"6,000 National Guardsmen as armed sentinels"

Armed Sentinels? This is the first I have heard of this. Since the National Guard was deployed to the border, it was reported they were sitting at desks, doing construction..etc..etc. Ok..they might be armed but it is strictly for show! They are not there to actually guard the border or use any force against attempted crossings!
