150K Non-Mexicans Go Thru Mexico To USA

[PlummMeanGreen]

These are numbers that should disturb any American and specifically, those of us Americans whose states border Mexico.

The statistic in the topic title of this thread is in Pat Buchanan's new book "State of Emergency." He was a guess on Channel 4's "Good Day @ 7:00 AM" this morning.

Pretty disturbing numbers that should not surprise us at all, though. Sadly, how many of these fanatical Middle Eastern Islamics favor (in looks) some of our Mexican friends?

I think we all knew this could happen, but good gosh, folks, 150,000?!?!?

not sure this is really sports related, and it's almost certainly destined to be closed once political conversations erupt, but there are many people that believe there are threats within our borders right now. kinda scary...

Is that every day, year, 5 years? And I could only assume that it was 150000 illegal immigrants. So how did they come up with that number. It not like they take a census at some check point of everyone who crossess illegally. How do they sperate mexicans and non-mexicans without asking them, and as you said they do "favor" latino's. This number can be totally overinflated or even be underestimated.

Also, 150000 non mexicans could mean asian, dominican, cuban, french, german,etc. I seriously doubt that those are 150000 muslim extremists that have come through. I'm not trying to say that the number isn't alarming and that border security is not a concern, 1 extremists is one too many, but i just get tired of politicians throwing out numbers and then putting thier own spin on it for thier own profit.

I know, your jaw just dropped, but seriously, the USA has enough holes in its own LEGAL immigration process to let the terrorists in.

It was a 2 minute TV interview with Pat Buchanan, Bubba, which mean't he could hardly say anything but he did bring up the 150,000 non-Mexicans who cross the border. I guess there will be some who will have to see a mushroom cloud over downtown Houston, Dallas or Fort Worth before we take action in Congress?

So BG maybe you and others who have posted on this "most controversial" thread might want to, uh, buy the book and find out where Buchanan got all his facts and data?

FWIW, I am not surprised at what he said whether it was 1,500, 15,000 or 150,000 non-Mexicans crossing the Mexican border because (unfortunately and sadly) we all witnessed what a mere handful of Islamic fanatics did on 9/11/01.
