What’s the one-word theme of the 2008 presidential primaries? According to the media it’s “change.â€

"Maybe that’s why Huckabee, Romney, and Giuliani are hardening their positions on illegal immigration just as fast as their little flip-floppers will flip-flop them -- I mean, which is why the top-tier Republican candidates have been so busy refining and clarifying their evolving positions on illegal immigration as of late. "


I just want to emphasize my point on the candidates for president and their views on illegal immigration. If we go back to the beginning of the presidential run we can see where the candidates stood on the subject. No one but Ron Paul was against illegal immigration from the start and never wavered on his views. All other candidates have changed their positions according to how the people felt about the issues. Including Mitt Romney. They all saw that we cared most about illegal immigration and they jumped on the band wagon. They altered their views to get your votes. It seems to be working.
But to know who we can trust to be on our side we have to go back to the beginning. Leopards don't change their spots.
Don't let the flip-floppers fool you. We'll be sorry if we do.
This is a our time to speak. This is a hugh opportunity to make a difference in "politics as usual". Too many Americans have been hurt by illegal immigration. We need someone who feels as we do. Not someone whose trying to fool us.

I agree with you 100 percent. All of us must work hard to bring Ron Paul to the front and center. I don't think we can afford putting our trust in candidates who are obviously putting corporations above the desires of the American people. They may say they are anti-illegal, but are they?

Despite its serious subject matter, "Border" is a briskly paced, highly entertaining feature with moments of genuine humor and pathos, not to mention excellent production values. Indeed, some of the sequences -- like the after-dark thermal footage of armed coyotes passing mere yards from Burgard’s hidden camera -- would not seem out of place in a big-budget Hollywood thriller.

Not only is this an exceptionally well done movie, well filmed and edited, it tells a REAL story that is unfolding away from your eyes unless YOU are down there on the border yourself. I saw this film in a Charlotte, NC theater at a premier showing sponsored by ALIPAC just a few months agao. I was so impressed, I bought copies as Christmas presents to send my family members scattered throughout the country. I wanted them to know what is really going on since the MSM virtually ignores the extent of the problem and the reality of what is happening on the border.

If you haven't seen this very important film...what are you waiting for?

Chris Burgard’s new documentary is a harrowing picture of illegal immigration in America.

20 February 2008

One day Linda Vickers returned home to her ranch in Falfurrias, Texas, just north of the Mexican border, to find two of her dogs playing with what appeared to be a ball. Looking more closely, Linda discovered that it was a human skull. Her husband, Michael, went in search of the rest of the body, eventually finding a woman’s skeleton nearby, its flesh stripped by wild animals. The woman had broken her leg and apparently been left to die on an isolated part of the ranch by “coyotes,â€

I don't need to see this film, I live it!
A good book to read is "The Reapers line" life and death on the border by Lee Morgan, I should warn you his language is not the best but you will see what goes on along the border.
