Terror Watch Issued for Border

Jiro is right; I am just 2.5 to 3 hours away from where the border is, I am speaking from my experience, I have been there many times and might be move to the bordertown on the American soil.

I've been ask by the ICE agents that where I got the passport, you'll get some random questions when you're up at their booth inspection station. If he/she find you suspicious, doesn't answer to his/her question directly or keeps miscommunicate, you'll have go to the Inspection Area and let them to inspect your vehicle and you will get the questionnaire from the ICE. It has been done to me twice due to the agents who talk too fast for my lipreading skill. So, are they doing their job? Obviously yes. Are the national at stake? Probably but it's difficult to secure the 1,500 miles of the Mexico/US border and more expensive.

TG, maybe you should put things in writing or request an interpreter... next time you're dealing with the law. You do have that right afterall...

I lived in a town that was 90 miles away from the Mexico border for several years. I always get stopped at the border booth and they ask me questions. I cooperate. And when said and done, I say thank you for his work and I move on. Those booths were only 10 miles away to the west and south of the town I lived in. It was a regular occurence and on occassion we hear news about a drug bust or captured a bunch of illegals in some storage compartment.

Oh, no, it is ICE agents' job to write down the question on the paper and I have no problem afterward.

There are little signs that tell the people that the ICE agents will help and write down if the people don't understand due to the kind of disabilities or language barriers.

Difference on between you and Texan Guy, you are HoH and can speak orally so well but Texan Guy is profoundly deaf with CI and he could have some communication problem.

Miscommunication could be a biggest problem with border patrol and ICE agents, it is very easy to be misunderstood if you are lose your communication.

Ease demand for the supply. Price of good goes down. Profit margin for drug cartel goes down. Illegal activity "as a whole" goes down.

"Don't do drugs people. It's un-American."

- Another thing, we can't live in fear. We can make reasonable adjustments to risks, but we can't spend all of our resources on protecting the borders.

I told my brother to let the girls into the treefort because it wasn't always fun to watch the fort. ::cuddle::cheers:. So long as they didn't decorate the fort or break our guns, we had fun!

Been stopped many times around my place in Ruidoso (120 miles from the border) never bothered me. They seemed to be looking for drugs most of the time. My vehicles usually got me a second screening. No biggie.

He lived NEAR Mexico......as do I part of the year. Sealing the border as I both Koko and I want would not in any way affect LEGAL border crossing.

I misread, I originally thought the border booth means come from Mexico; More than 10 miles from the border zone, we call those Border Patrol Inspection Station, not border booth.

Well, someone hasn't say anything about LEGAL yet until you said it. So, from my own eyes, I find "sealed" border meant to be closed border.
