I've read the news item several times and this time I'm going to follow the lead of "Richard on the Hill", RPLEGER when he said "Oh, Oh." In the past he has sometimes given us clues like "Yep" or the very popular "Nope". I have not looked deep enough into his posts. He's on to something. I use hundreds of words and say nothing. He is an idea compactor, able to analyse, synthesize. This time he might have said "Duh?" or "What?" but he chose more carefully. Some of this news is very meaningful and I'm not back-tracking. From now on I'm gonna read his posts with a lot more interest.

"The question for the nation is: Do we wish to go there?"

That is, indeed the question and I do believe that Americans should be allowed to make that decision, regardless of the fact that a few will sling the 'race' threat around.

I certainly do not believe that 'any other country' should be allowed to make that decision.......unless they defeat The United States first!

Simply put I am not a racist, but I do believe I am a vested member of a sovereign nation...namely the United States of America.

I am also a guest of the sovereign nation of Mexico...and I respect their laws and their sovereignty and I like the Mexican People.

It could get ugly, Federal, State ad municipal police are beggining to form a human shield to prevent the protestors from getting to the border, they are of course armed.

Apparently nobody told Customs, because on their CBP Border Wait Times (as linked through SunDog) it shows "no traffic" and "At 9am PDT
no delay, 21 lanes open"!!!!!!

Am I missing something here?
