What can we do to realistically protect our borders? The government is as impotent as a bunch of steers. Is the next step one of a more aggressive nature?
I'd say the government is impotent by design in this area, though it is dysfunctional in many other areas where it aspires to be efficient. Certainly the Minutemen and various immigration controlgroups have done a good job at forcing the pro-American positionto be reluctantly acknowledged by theembedded corporate media, and the grassroots defeated Congress's attempts at passing the amnesty bill in '07.
We need to keep building the Ron Paul revolution while simultaneously engaging in local political activity and agitation all over the country. A genuine opposition must be forged because that's what it will take to bust open America's longstanding closed and utterly corrupt political system.
There does seem to be some confusion currently about Ron Paul's stand on immigration. Let's hope he doesn'tthrow inwiththe heads-in-the-clouds theoretical wing of the Libertarian Party which believes that freedom in America can somehownot just exist but actually thrivewith open borders and free trade policies.

An article entitled "Drug Cartels Have No Fear Of CBP"
http://www.vdare.com/posts/drug-cart...no-fear-of-cbpAnd just how as this done? Well, quite easily. You see CBP does not use US VISIT, the biometric system for aliens who apply for visas, apply to enter the United States and who are arrested by DHS. Except that CBP, because of pressure from the Mexican government, illegal alien advocates, border merchants, Texas politicians, and drug cartels, does not use US VISIT at land Ports-of-Entry, e.g. land border entries. If US VISIT had been in use at the port where Vela entered, he would not have been arrested by an overworked small town police department, but by CBP itself. But CBP is not interested in doing its job of stopping drug dealers and terrorists, it is more interested in fostering cross-border commerce and enabling the Regime's Administrative Amnesty
And as proof, CBP has withdrawn U.S. Border Patrol Agents from commercial transporation centers, e.g. bus stations and airports.
