Border family's strange encounters with illegal crossers | csmonitor.com
"Mr. Garner, a carpenter, his wife, and three daughters (age 10, 12, and 15) tell countless stories that are as alarming to outsiders as they are matter-of-fact to them. Theirs is a life dominated by self-defense lessons, family practice drills to huddle in the master bedroom, obligatory two-way radios for kids who walk to school, and a handgun on the hip for mom."
OK, we're going to defend our country, where do we start? Seal the borders first, right? "Nah, let's let people come here illegally and accept that" the politicians say.
We must control our borders, and if our government won't do it's job #1 for national defense, then I am proud to see citizens out there trying to help (within reason). I'm all for legal immigration, but this illegal border crossing must stop....it's our first line of defense as a nation from terrorists. Seems like that's a good place to start, and a place we can make a real difference quickly with not too much money (compared with say, the war in Iraq).
