See what I'm saying: a few incidents are magnified into the apocalypse. It's shameful.

More people died in Katrina than died at the border in the past thirty years.There is border violence...but it is not marginally different than it has always been. And in Arizona it seems to have waned for the past three or four years.
It's the hyping it up into something that it isn't that is wrong.
So how much violence is tolerable for you?
Also....if you wanna talk hype.....let's talk about Katrina shall we.
Border Deaths Are Increasing
Rise Is Despite Fewer Crossers, U.S. and Mexican Groups Say

Despite a 50 percent drop over the past two years in the number of people caught illegally entering the United States from Mexico, the number of those who died while trying to cross the border increased this year and is the highest since 2006, according to new U.S. data and a study by human rights groups in both countries.
The American Civil Liberties Union and Mexico's human rights agency allege that consistently high numbers of border deaths -- hovering around 350 to 500 a year, depending on which government's figures are used -- are a predictable but largely unrecognized result of border security policies....
Immigrant Deaths in Arizona Desert Soaring in July

PHOENIX -- The number of deaths among illegal immigrants crossing the Arizona desert from Mexico is soaring so high this month that the medical examiner's office that handles the bodies is using a refrigerated truck to store some of them, the chief examiner said Friday.
The bodies of 40 illegal immigrants have been brought to the office of Pima County Medical Examiner Dr. Bruce Parks since July 1. At that rate, Parks said the deaths could top the single-month record of 68 in July 2005 since his office began tracking them in 2000.
"Right now, at the halfway point of the month, to have so many is just a very bad sign," he said. "It's definitely on course to perhaps be the deadliest month of all time."
From Jan. 1 to July 15, the office has handled the bodies of 134 illegal immigrants, up from 93 at the same time last year and 102 in 2008. In 2007, when the office recorded the highest annual deaths of illegal immigrants, 140 bodies had been taken there through July 15.
Parks said his office, which handles immigrant bodies from three counties, is currently storing roughly 250 bodies and had to start using a refrigerated truck because of the increase in immigrant deaths this month...
Most of the people killed on the Mexican/USA border are Mexicans. There are no statistics that I can find on actual numbers. In the last year I can find ONE example of someone who MIGHT have been killed because of border violence...a rancher who's property butts up against the border.More people died in Katrina than died at the border in the past thirty years.
That's total horseshit. Back that up with facts.
Most Americans killed in border towns are killed in Mexico.

Hello? We are talking about border violence. It is really horrid that people die trying to cross from dehydration or accidents. Too bad that people revile those that make water drops for the crossers.
No lie...we were talking about border violence. Try reading and following a thread, bitch.Hello? We are talking about border violence. It is really horrid that people die trying to cross from dehydration or accidents. Too bad that people revile those that make water drops for the crossers.
You brought up the dead and Katrina. Once again, you lie or maybe just think that making up stuff is ok.

Solve the drug problem then. THAT is the real problem. People in the USA take drugs. Mexicans supply them. Seal the border there and the drug suppliers will find another way...and the problem continues.There is border violence...but it is not marginally different than it has always been.

Tell that to the American victims of violence and the children poisoned by Mexican drugs.
"Oh you're only imagining that bullet hole because you are a racist."

Some people just have tunnel vision. They ONLY focus on the USA while giving every other country a free pass on the atrocities committed there on a dialy basis. Idiotic!
After listening to Obama tell us that the BP spill will take years to clean up why does he think we'll believe that 75% of the oil is gone...cleaned up...evaporated?
Also, they're now trying to tell us that all of the violence that's happening on the Arizona border was all made up.
How stupid do they think we are?
I've already seen a couple of threads on this...so I guess they must think we're pretty stupid. The usual suspects on USMB are already floating rumors of conspiracies over border violence. Zona for one. I get the feeling that Truthmatters has been writing all of their stuff for them. That's how little credibility they have.
Let's face it folks. These people in the Administration have no credibility. They don't exactly have a great track record when it comes to honesty and transparency. A spill that the government decided to charge $20 billion in damages to BP cannot be written off with a simple announcement by one of Obama's czars or underlings. The coverup that has been reported by the media seems to be in full force...in hopes that something can be salvaged for the upcoming election. I suspect the same goes for the reports that border violence is just a hoax. Ask the residents of AZ that live on to the border if this is the case. They can't seem to leave there homes for fear that illegals will end up homesteading in them. This is a problem folks.
So we've got accusations of racism left and right....and claims that two of Obama's biggest crisis were blown out of proportion. Do you believe them? Have they given us any reason to believe them? Isn't it all just an attempt to whitewash a couple of Obama's weaknesses? He's trying to make us forget about what happened. Obviously people didn't forget about health care because they voted against it 3 to 1 in the election this week. What makes him think we'll forget about everything else he's screwed up?

So They Expect Us To Believe The Spill And Border Violence Aren't A Problem Anymore
