Terrorists?

Within the last hour, 28 male, Irish passengers waiting in the customs line at JFK airport, sprinted past the customs agents and scattered themselves throughout the airport.

While agents were able to get five of the passengers, it is believed that the remaining 23 are now out of the airport area and scattered throughout the surrounding New York area.

Imagine that scenario playing out in on Fox News or CNN. It would be of monumental proportion. Think of the non stop crawler.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!! Potential Terrorists, spread amongst New Yorkers.

But this scenario plays all the time throughout the US and nary a word. You know what they call it in El Paso Texas?...... They call it Monday. In San Diego CA? ..... Thursday night.

I'm convinced the news media would have a whole different attitude about the illegal alien problem if they actually had to live it.

With that said, one other aspect of the immigration problem that people don't get. Why do Mexican and Guatemalan administrations object so much to strict US immigration enforcement? They object because they know that if these people had to stay in their countries, the leadership would have to be accountable for the corrupt government they provide their citizens. It would be ugly.

So by us not adequately enforcing the border, we allow corrupt and ineffective governments in those countries to continue imposing poverty on it's people.

Now let's enforce that damn border and pass me the margarita.
