U.S. Proposes Unmanned Border Crossing With Mexico?
The bloody drug war in Mexico shows no sign of relenting. Neither do calls for tighter border security amid rising fears of spillover violence.
This hardly seems a time the U.S. would be willing to allow people to cross the border legally from Mexico without a customs officer in sight. But in this rugged, remote West Texas terrain where wading across the shallow Rio Grande undetected is all too easy, federal authorities are touting a proposal to open an unmanned port of entry as a security upgrade.
By the spring, kiosks could open up in Big Bend National Park allowing people from the tiny Mexican town of Boquillas del Carmen to scan their identity documents and talk to a customs officer in another location, at least 100 miles away.
The crossing, which would be the nation’s first such port of entry with Mexico, has sparked opposition from some who see it as counterintuitive in these days of heightened border security. Supporters say the crossing would give the isolated Mexican town long-awaited access to U.S. commerce, improve conservation efforts and be an unlikely target for criminal operations.
“People that want to be engaged in illegal activities along the border, ones that are engaged in those activities now, they’re still going to do it,” said William Wellman, Big Bend National Park’s superintendent. “But you’d have to be a real idiot to pick the only place with security in 300 miles of the border to try to sneak across.”
The proposed crossing from Boquillas del Carmen leads to a vast expanse of rolling scrub, cut by sandy-floored canyons and violent volcanic rock outcroppings. The Chihuahuan desert wilderness is home to mountain lions, black bears and roadrunners, sparsely populated by an occasional camper and others visiting the 800,000-acre national park.
Is his Obama’s idea? He said ATMs cost american jobs and now this? What a crock, do they really think that kiosks will stop the drug traffic and gun running? This fits in with both Holder and Obama as an idea that will go down in infamy.
I think we’ve sold our soul to Mexico, or Texas to Mexico. What’s next?

I can see the next step now… Obama will propose to have a big “care package”, complete with a big box of expensive chocolates to give to every illegal that crosses the border into the United States.
You forget the champagne and tequilla.
I thought that it was illegal to give liquor to indians?
Included in that Care Package would be applications for food stamps, government subsidies for housing, a government issuedhealth care card and other welfare related documents, also a sheet on how to illegally vote for their benefactor in Washington(all in Spanish, of course), this way they can get a jump start on their way to the American Dream of Barack H. Obama (Savior)!
OH ITS OK FOR BLACKS? AND POOR WHITES, ECT ECT.
Don’t forget the voter registration card, with the Democrat Party highlighted.

Unmanned port of entry. hmmm, doesnt that sound like what we need.? You know all the mexicans and whoevers will surely stop and scan. They have proven to be so law abiding all these years.
Maybe a better idea is for stupid to go to Mexico and tell El Presidente (like calderon tells us) how to run his country so people dont have to leave there to live properly. We go everywhere else and talk about human rights. Go there too. Tell them they are corrupt. also that they have the resources for good living all over mexico if the government would let the people make money enough to live on.Gold, silver gemstones lots of resources. oil?
Obama=LOSER
The man has no concept of our Nations Security Needs. He must go. It does not matter if we pick Rommney,Gring or any other candidate. As crazy as Ron Paul is sometimes he is being to sound alittle more on track.
Lets Get Obama out. We con not afford him!
And our PRICK IN CHIEF says he’s not weak on foriegn affairs and security! Obamy is a total idiot!
And a LFN from Kenya !!!
