The were offering not just free service but use of very expensive equipment not available here. Plus the "free service and equipment" would eliminate a contract with china.

Sheriff Tells Congress That Border Patrol Agents Ordered to Reduce Arrests
The Border Patrol’s practice of detecting but not apprehending illegal immigrants -- known as “Turn Back South” -- is in effect far north of the U.S.-Mexico border, Arizona Sheriff Larry Dever claimed in congressional testimony Tuesday morning.
“It appears, according to numerous reports from current and former border agents, that this practice has gravitated many miles north of the border. That means that, regardless of proximity to the border, people who are detected but not caught are considered to be “Turned Back South,” Dever said in his written testimony before the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security.

Sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense at all. What are you trying to say?

I think he is saying that if a country offers help to another than the corporation responsible for the disaster should repay the country for any help offered.
BTW, BP agreed today to pay a $250M fine in Alaska.

If that is indeed what he is saying, I agree 100%, IMO the total cost of repairing the gulf, reimbursing honest businesses for loss of income...yadda yadda yadda.

(CNSNews) — Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County, Ariz., told a House subcommittee today that in one U.S. attorney’s district in Texas illegal aliens are allowed to be caught crossing the border 7 times before they are charged with a misdeamanor and 14 times before they are charged with a felony.
“There are policies in place that establish thresholds for quantities of drugs and numbers of illegal aliens before consideration for prosecution can be entertained,” Dever said in his written testimony before the Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security. “In at least one Federal District in Texas, if you are caught smuggling less than 750 kilos (1,653 pounds) of marijuana, you will not be subjected to prosecution.”
“If you are caught smuggling fewer than 6 illegal aliens, you will not be subject to prosecution,”

Obama Picked Wrong City for Amnesty Speech
Obama to Tout Amnesty in Speech Across Border from Mexican City That Had More Casualties Than Afghanistan
By Fred Lucas
Washington (CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama’s commitment to providing some legal status for illegal aliens is reflected in the time he has spent focusing on the country’s immigration laws in recent weeks, the White House said one day before the president is set to deliver a national address on immigration from El Paso, Texas.
El Paso is across the border from Juarez, Mexico, a city where 3,111 civilians were murdered last year–more than in all of Afghanistan.

6 Decapitated Men Dumped Outside Durango School
Headless bodies dumped outside school in Mexico
Drug hit men are suspected of dumping six headless bodies outside a school in northern Mexico on Monday, the latest macabre incident in a series that is putting pressure on Mexican President Felipe Calderon to act.
The bloodied, beheaded men were left outside the secondary school in the colonial city of Durango just before dawn, hours before students were due to put on a show to celebrate Mother’s Day, Reuters reported, quoting the Durango state attorney general’s office.
Threatening messages were spray painted on a nearby wall, but were quickly covered over by the authorities, who declined to reveal what they said.
Durango, once a quiet farming and tourist city but also a lucrative drug smuggling route to the U.S., is caught up in a war between the feared Zetas gang and the Sinaloa cartel.

Baba,
why dont you post about the american gun companies that continue to sell guns to the cartels or third parties that sell them to cartels. There wouldnt be such violence if american gun companies didnt contribute to it in order to make a buck.
Peace.

Why don't you post about them, with links to the claim? The statement, "There wouldnt be such violence if american gun companies didnt contribute to it in order to make a buck." is unsubstantiated at best, at worst case scenario incorrect.

I'll let you in on a small secret, the largest gun runner to the cartels in Mexico is our own gov't.
They allowed the weapons to be smuggled into Mexico on the idea that tracking them would help id who got them, the downside is those same weapons killed our own agents.

"It seems President Obama has once again put on his campaigner-in-chief hat. The president's push to legalize millions of illegal immigrants is purely political," said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. "And even though administration officials like to pretend the border is secure, the reality is that it isn't."
