**EDIT** This is intinded to be for discusion of resolutions should something in the nature of the article should happen. I am not saying the article is; in any part or whole; the truth. ***EDIT**

So, what does the good people of RallyPoint think about this? Should we as a nation and our political leaders remain in a reactive posture until something dreadful happens or should we take a proactive stance on the border?

What ideas do you have for securing this massive expanse of border?

Um, its Texas? Shoot them?

Everyone in Texas is packing right?

I still say they are no threat to us overseas and we need to just secure our borders here. These guys do not have an Air Force.

Well, them folks obviously haven't done their homework if they are coming into the US via Texas. I mean...they should come in through California really...or New Mexico. Long walk through enemy territory to get out of Texas. Shoot...can't imagine that.

Back home we've had Minute Men on the border long before the government woke up and decided to do anything.

I imagine all that's needing to be done is advertise they are there and what they stand for...the mess'll sort itself out like we Texans normally have done.

A little bit of initiative and research goes a long way. This news story has been debunked for over a month now, by numerous reputable press sources (see links below). Unless you want to entertain a discussion of a conspiracy at play then the case is closed.

As far as answering your border question, what sane and logical options do we have available that we are not doing yet? Would you put a border patrol officer every 50 feet along the border? Would you advocate permanently militarizing our border? Yes our border is porous, but so far every "solution" I've heard is so draconian in nature that it would metaphorically be the cure worse than the disease.

Tijuana Transfer

ISIS members are camped just outside El Paso and have been arrested trying to infiltrate the U.S. at the Mexican border? Say it isn't so! Okay: it isn't so.

Track them down and kill them. No trial, no waiting for something to happen, do not give them a chance. Kill Them!

Not that I think they are here, and I don't believe the stories and pictures are legit, but the above is my answer to them anywhere in the world.

Secure the borders and enforce laws we already have.... Don't wait for a 9/11 repeat, the next one may not just be 3000 dead... We ignored terroristic attacks for over 20 years as a nation, as our embassies and our service members were in danger, it didn't effect us here at home so we didn't take notice... Then 9/11 and we found out we were more vulnerable that we were led to believe, and we still didn't learn.. We still let political correctness dictate how we handled things, who we hired to do our security... We are so worried about what everyone else thinks we don't learn from the mistakes of our past... "Those who forget the past are forever condemned to repeat it..." As for ISIS already being here, yeah you are an idiot and blind if you think there isn't a sleeper somewhere... It is those who clame the ignorance of total safety fed to us by main stream media, that everything is great and the evil is everywhere but here that are part if the problem... I am not claiming to be paranoid, declare martial law or anything, but if we secure our borders now, enforce our current laws, we would have a lot smaller problem, than if we wait to react when they decide to strike... And they will strike, they have proven that by past events and their bold maneuvers now... We slept under a blanket of safety while not tending to the bedbugs that were creeping up underneath... Not trying to be pessimistic, but I was a military brat growing up and I remember the attacks that happened back in the 80's.....

ISIS, is not in Texas, but there are lone wolves and fools out there looking to make a name for themselves. As to how to deal with wannabees, fools, and lone wolves do not depend on the military nor police, best is to apply for your conceal carry and practice at the range, in case the day comes that fate puts you in a position to act. BUT SECURE GUNS AWAY FROM KIDS!
