This one might take awhile to decipher.

I'm not old, but I remember before The Wall.

If I drive into Mexico now the U.S.A. takes a picture of me and my license plate.

If I return to the U.S.A. with no record of me having left, they pull me aside for further interrogation.

It didn't used to be like that.

I travel with a German friend who is in the database for an overstay (due to a car wreck) and I generally just pull over anyway, saying I know where to go.

now at the checkpoints 20 miles in, that is a different story. I refuse to be hassled by those twerps.

yes I am a citizen, can I go please. no you can't look in my vehicle, are you detaining me?

The first question was are you a citizen?

Yes

Are you?

We were waved through.

I saw a video of a guy who stopped at a checkpoint, and the first thing he did was ask the border guard if he was an American citizen. The guard started to say something, and the driver interrupted him, asking, "So where are you heading today?"

He was waved through.

That spiking thing could come in handy the next time they drive onto your property...

Used to stop a vehicle by flattening all the tires.

I have seen vans drive for many miles on the rims, at least on dirt roads. On pavement it can cause roll-overs and other accidents resulting in injury and death, but hey they are "illegals" so who gives a shit, right?

At least they'd be doing something useful with their time.

Sounds like you're feeling better Kali.

plus I was hoping it would kind of gross him out.

his wife is a nurse. fuq

or ... you guys are still nine years old out there showing off your boo-boos to see who has the best grossest one.

don't make me come out there !!

too much taking it easy.

today I hobbled out and looked at my pool.

thinks the same way they do..your bluntness is just your coy way of getting him to be even more persistent, is what he hears.

Always in the back of one's mind is that one of these of these overpai, not too bright yahoos is gonna report anyone not 110% on board with getting them furriners over to law enforcement for such things aiding and abetting drug runners, coyotes, cartels, human traffickers, or refugees

I'm sure you're aware of the possibilities, but it'd make my skin crawl to have to talk to these guys since they seem to have a bead on your homestead from your past posts.

One would think they'd save their spiel for the local Teabaggerati meet or the next KKK cross burning at the border.

Otherwise I'd hope a visit would only be prompted by an overabundance of caution due to a report of some violent individual or gang crossing the border near your place.

Just kinda creepy and the offer to have a civilian playing with military toys for fun is a red flag to me.

Can you put up versions of 'POSTED' no trespass signs or paint the fence posts with a color that means the same thing?

For crying out loud! You being sick and all. Sorry you're getting that drama in the desert there.

I can't believe I and my complaints are the only reason they finally got around to hiring a local liaison to kiss the ranchers' asses.

I told him to get a land ownership map from the NRCS office and I do have one end posted, but need to get the back way in done too.

I am currently doing a job in St David. I have to go through a BP check point outside Tombstone. If I drive to Tucson, I have to go through a checkpoint outside Whetstone, or Sonoita. They have dogs, who apparently can smell if you are an illegal alien. No, the dogs are for drugs. A friend of mine had his truck "alerted" on by a dog at the Whetstone checkpoint. The BP took his truck to Naco to have it x-rayed. Nothing, so they let him go, hours later and many gallons of gas spent. BP should be at the border, not at checkpoints 50 miles away. Every week I read of another BPer who stole drugs or raped an illegal.

How is it in that area?

Checkpoints or anything?

and hundreds of patrol vehicles all over the place.

that would have been two checkpoints I think. Maybe tomorrow afternoon if it it is as hot as it was today. Ugh.

I would have been SO pissed if they took my vehicle and made me sit around. Remember when County Sup. Newman got nabbed with a roach?

And the other day I drove past the Dragoon Dispensary. Times are interesting.

and repeatedly ask where the war trophy illegal alien tanks are.
Ask why they need an air force when the people crossing the border make a bee line to the first BPer the instant they see one and peacefully surrender.

Or my favorite question, Why do police who always out number the bad guys by over one hundred to one need expensive automatic weapons? A dozen 30-30 lever action deer rifles would work as well and be cheaper.
