Federal Court Tells Eagle Pass Residents, "We Vill Build Ze Wahl On Yur Land, SchweinHunds!"
As hinted at earlier, the U.S.-Mexico Border Wall looms dangerously close to reality as the federal government continues to, you know, completely ignore the wishes of people who actually live on the U.S.-Mexico Border. Reports USA Today:
U.S. District Judge Alia Moses Ludlum ordered the city of Eagle Pass, [Texas] on the border about 100 miles southwest of San Antonio, to “surrender” 233 acres of city-owned land. The Justice Department sued the city for access to the land.
Because the government is going to protect America from being raped and pillaged by foreigners whether they are being raped and pillaged by foreigners or not.

Scary times….walls, borders, nothing will hold down the latino people down…just to piss off the gavachos, we should all adopt Che’s ideal of a panlatinoamericanism, except for the cuban americans, they can hang out with their gavacho friends, thats until they build a wall down there also….i am rambling i know.

Okay, I say that’s reason enough - c’mon Texas, let’s leave the U.S. and become our own nation again. F**k their stupid wall.

With regard to the recent federal court action seizing land in Eagle Pass, Texas, I hear the founding fathers spinning wildly in their graves and the ghostly howls of generations of immigrants.
If it were MY land, I’d say saddle up, lock-n-load, and Remember the Alamo!
I certainly sympathize with the people of Eagle Pass, who will be forced to look at this eyesore - an eyesore that will accomplish nothing. Are the proponents of the fence under the impression that the people of Mexico own no hand tools? Does anyone doubt that holes will be made in existing sections of the fence before the entire length is completed? How about rope ladders, tunnels underneath, or simple fertilizer-based explosives.
As cops say, if a burglar wants in your home badly enough, no combination of locks and alarms will keep him out. Well, here is a corollary: No determined immigrant will be deterred by a mere fence. It didn’t work in eastern Europe, it doesn’t work at the Korean DMZ, and and they both used land mines. It won’t work in Texas, either.
