Mine the border? Candidate says it's an option
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Republican nominee for a New Mexico congressional seat suggested during a radio interview that the United States could place land mines along the Mexican border to secure the international boundary.

Asked Monday to clarify, Tom Mullins emphasized that he does not advocate doing so.

Mullins says border security came up during a radio interview last month, when he was campaigning for the GOP nod to run against Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M.

Mullins subsequently won the primary June 1.

1. OMG!
drones, land mines, 50 foot walls.
What next? build a moat between the US & Mexico, fill it with oil from the gulf and light it on fire?

2. It'll get worse
The ball started rolling with Bush and the Patriot Act, and it's not going to get better.
