Ain't it weird!
We all seem to know where they are but our Homeland Security doesn't?
Around 11 million they say, and can not find them. Hmmm is it just me or
does common sense say if you can't stop illegals at the border or find 11
million already here Osama himself could walk across the border and we
would
never know it..well until something else blows up! Makes all these subway
searches and crap look real stupid in my book.


The illegal aliens must be flying GA aircraft into DCA.

Perhaps we should arm the border patrol with rocks so they can return
"fire".
I was a the the Boeing Museum of flight a couple of weeks ago and saw
the first air to air weapons. Bricks cut in half. I think we should
return to these. True skill is required to hit your opponent.

A "Y" shaped stick and some rubber --- a slingshot.

One baseball-sized rock gashed the rotor, forcing the pilot to
land nearby, said Michael Gramley, spokesman for the Border
Patrol sector based in Yuma, Ariz.

Perhaps we should arm the copter with machine guns and fire back?

Maybe get that person a baseball pitching contract...

I just got done reading the 63 replies (currently) to this post.

I'm not going ot get into the illegal alien issue since that
seems to be getting addressed quite nicely.

What I want to mention is that no one has addressed the issue of
a helicopter getting hit with a baseball sized rock thrown from
the ground!

Either the guy had a hell of an arm or that chopper was pretty low.
I'd be curious to know what it was doing so low, unless it was
in the act of landing or taking off. Patrolling the border is
something best done from a bit of altitude. I would think they'd
be operating above the deadmans curve, not below it.
