    I had a friend who worked as an electronics engineer on smart batteries. The company moved production of some of their batteries to Mexico where he had to travel to periodically. Eventual they moved lock, stock and barrel there. I guess that all got worked out as part of the settling in of NAFTA.

    Last I heard Learjet was building in Mexico.

    I'm a land surveyor and have dealt with so many of these situations. It's amazing how grown adults turn into kindergartners incapable of sharing when THEIR property is being "encroached" on. They will shit a brick over an inch. I've stood between two land owners and had them try to make me fudge numbers in their favor. I was setting t-posts along a property line once and actually had a guy ask me which neighbor owned more of each post. One lady found out the bridge she built was on both sides of the property line, and proclaimed she was going to just tear the bridge down, rather than share access with the new neighbors whom she'd never even met. Her husband just shook his head. People are greedier than little piggies.

    My son and his girlfriend just went through the same thing with a neighbor as about a year after they purchased a house the neighbor came over and started whining that their fence (which was already installed when they purchased the house) was on his property and wanted 3 feet of their property. After trying to calmly discuss it even though the clown was very belligerent they conceded and allowed him to build a fence. My son and girlfriend then spent some big bucks on backyard landscaping and he complained that a part of a plant was touching his fence. This guy is nothing but a whiner. He's also the type that parks his car on the street (there are no driveways) right on the edge of the property line every time. Of course when I go over I try and intentionally park across the line, lol.

    Maybe I’m missing something, but using guard troops, who we are paying regardless, to actually do something...I have zero outrage over this.

    That said, just vet them, and let them in. All of them. The dakotas are fucking empty as shit.

    I'm not sure that's correct. Don't we pay the Nat. Guard less than full time salaries unless they get sent off somewhere where they can't work their day jobs anymore?

    I don't agree with letting everyone in or using the National Guard on the border but I liked your post because it is a different take at least.

    Its to bad the numbers are down. Im looking for a good balance in everything. Some good some bad.
    We are still the very best country on the face of the Earth to live in, work in, raise a family in, retire in! Why do so many foreigners want to come here to live besides all the free support.
    Ill never forget my son was going to UofO and I met with his enrollment councilor is sophomore year to see if he could get any tuition assistance from some Federal program beside the low interest loan.
    He said I made to much money and if my son was from a low income family or an immigrant he would be able to get way more assistance and possibly free tuition.
    I asked him if that would include illegal immigrants headless of where they came form and he said they get very good assistance and even in some cases free gratis.
    Again Im a libertarian that advocates small government, fiscal responsibility and moderate with social issues, but that discussion left a bad taste in my mouth.

    The answer here is simple, just give CA back to Mexico. Im sure they would be happy with the 5th largest economy in the world and wouldn't care if most of LA anymore is a shit hole to live in or visit. I can say that because I've lived there. Its true!

    I agree. But I also think Trump is doing just fine. It even pleases me to see some of these left tilted guys whine. But it is only a year now, before long, perhaps they will wear down to a inaudible drone. I don't think they can sustain the whine.

    Interesting strategy on making America great again. I guess this would force other states to step up their federal tax contributions to make up for the new shortfall. Since we are jettisoning shitholes, Im sure we can add a few others to the list that are holding us back. We are going to be so great soon.

    What a bunch of hooey.

    Illegal immigration from the border was not much of a problem until Trump needed a campaign issue.

    Most illegal immigrants fly in and overstay their visa.

    I agree, there will be a whine a year from now, but it will be you on the right crying about how Trump got drummed out of office. At what point will you apologize to the rest of us for thrusting this buffoon upon us?

    No idea, an even better idea would be to have all the troops stationed in Germany come back and do it instead.

    If I go over there for a visit, I'm going to invite you to come along. We could start a mob and scare the holy hell out of him. I envision pitch forks and torches.

    Honestly, first, if he had just come to me first, I would have helped him relocate the fence. I love being a friendly neighbor. Secondly, if he had refrained from saying anything to my wife and saved it to unload on me, I would have taken a ton of abuse without responding negatively. But, when ANYONE threatens my wife, they've got big time trouble. I even drove parallel to a large truck on the freeway and shook my fist at him in real anger because he was tailgating an obviously defenseless lady whom he deemed was moving too slow, although it she was doing 55 in a 55 zone. He backed off.

    I don't take to people bullying anyone.

    Actually, I think this would have to be run as a NORTHCOM operation, which means JCS doesn't get a vote. Chain of Command goes from NCA (CinC/SECDEF) to the COCOM.
