A Real Reality Show!

picftvds051606.jpg

ABC just ordered a show called Border Security USA, which will take an 'unprecedented look behind the scenes at the government's fight against terrorism' and the efforts of border protection agencies to halt illegal smuggling and immigration.

A typical episode might jump from a border patrol in Texas to security screeners at a New York airport to a Coast Guard boat off Puerto Rico.

Border is reportedly the first multiepisode television series to be shot in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security, as well as several other government agencies.

However, like most things in Hollywood these days, Border is a rip-off of something else. It's based on the Australian series Border Security: Australia's Front Line, which debuted in 2004.

ABC plans to launch Border sometime next season.

      Speaking up against the injustice that is occuring in todays United States.

      Please.
      Really…
      Let's be honest here…

      Who in their RIGHT MIND is going to shout "HOORAY or CHEERS!!!"
      at the Latinos that FLOOD AND OVERPOPULATE this state and do so ILLEGALLY….

      and then upon arrival, create the greatest Street Gang epidemic our Modern Society has ever known…
      TIP the scales to their favor with regards to being the ALL TIME LEADERS in
      LOS ANGELES HOMICIDE rates…
      BIRTHRATES…..
      DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL….
      FAILING…
      VIOLENCE … and lastly…

      …….Turning EVERY Southern California Community into a Trash Ridden, Violent, BARS on windows, Fenced in, Tagged out, Filthy Mirror Image of the country these people Claim to have Fled here from for a better life, Mexico.

      And the Latinos on this board have the FUCKING NERVE to call people RACIST…who are basically simply DISGUSTED by their ABUSE of our Hospitality here?

      How fucking sick is THAT?

      What The Latino Community would REALLY like, is for the repsonsible citizens of Los Angeles to just LOOK THE OTHER WAY and IGNORE the dispicable actions that occur here every day by Latinos.

      It IS an invasion. Any time a foreign Culture, Illegally Bombards En Masse, a region, a host, and then abuses this host to the point of COLLAPSING our INFRASTRUCTURE and making parts of Los Angeles UNLIVABLE due to crime, OVERPOPULATION and filth.

      FUCK you for your "RACIST" allegations….

      For those who haven't been following this issue that closely, the DHS is to a great extent just putting on a big show. They pretend to be trying to enforce our laws while at the same time letting in a supply of cheap labor that benefits both the Dems and the GOP. And, that's accompanied by hilarious posturing from MichaelChertoff ("If it's the last thing I do in this job, I'm going to . . . live up to the commitments we've made to the American people.") Some of the raids they conduct seem to be designed to enrage the left as part of a Bush scheme to get amnesty, something that MichaelChertoff has repeatedly advocated for. So, this should be a good show.

      Yet again, I am amazed by the stupidity of the American public. ANYTHING that is in cooperation with Homeland Security will be FALSE and fakery in an attempt to FOOL the public into thinking they are competent and not corrupt. Sadly, the morons who will tune in are the same dumb asses that continue to propagate the LIES and misinformation that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. Furthermore, I don't think our friends below the border are the problem. In fact, it is sad because they have already tried to use immigration as a distraction from the Iraq War of Terror. IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY YOU WILL BOYCOTT THIS AND ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AFFILIATED PROPAGANDA!!!!!!! GO O!

      Re: Stop I – Wow, it's almost as sick as your assumption that every Mexican who comes here is hell bent on destroying America! You know, it's people like you that make me ashamed that I was born in a country that says it welcomes all. Do I agree with illegal immigration? No, because my Uncle went through hell to get his citizenship. Do I think the Mexican immigrants are terrorists? NO, and it's stupid to think so. The only image you and 75% of Americans see of minorities is on TV. And everyone so eager to put the culturally "other" into a box of what they should act like because that's all you've seen on tv! Well, Mixicans are people before anything else. And the largest group for drop outs and teenage pregnancies are WHITES! Get over it!

      44

      You're a dumbass too, BB. The largest NUMBER for drop outs and teenage pregnancies are whites. By percentage of race in this country, latinos and blacks have MUCH higher numbers. Is the math too tricky for you?

      …and apparently Shawna supports illegal immigration and finds that ignoring our laws is just fine. Dumbass. Just another 911 conspiracy theorist that hasn't figured out that removing Sadaam H from power was a good thing.

      Re: Stop I
      So basically.. early settlers of our great United States were border (ocean) jumping greedy bastards who brought disease, war and famin to otherwise (in most cases) peaceful native american cultures.

      BTW.. not all Latinos are illegal or agree with illegal immigration so shut the fuck up you biggot douche… that's like saying all whites are supremesists and all blacks are crackheads..

      Last time I checked, there are gangs.. highly organized, of all races and creeds which destroy the fabric of this country.. so before you rant like the ignorant shit you are… fact check then come back with an educated point of view.

This show sounds really stupid, however maybe it will give some insight into border running and show that Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and any other underprivilaged illegal aliens are doing this to better themselves and their families. I just hope it doesn't give that idiot president (who won't be in office then) more grounds to put up that damned fence…

      Re: Stop I – Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!! They're headed north now, Waukegan Illinois is little Mexico. Nothing's wrong with you coming here *legally* and living like an American. Why come here and turn it into Mexico. I don't get it. I mean you don't see African Americans running around here with spears hunting animals. I am in no way racist, I'm BLACK! I'm just sick and tired of my property value going down while my property taxes go up! Our school district is all but destroyed because half the children don't speak english. Meanwhile Jose across the street has six families living in a three bedroom house with eight cars in the driveway. Oh and don't let a mexican holiday come around, every car rides down the street with a mexican flag on it hunking. If you have that much pride in your country you should stay there. Come here legally, work anf pay taxes like ME!

      Re: KevinK – I really just don't get it. I live 30 minutes north of Chicago. I've been through many Mexican communities, most are nice. You really can't tell them apart from any other community other that spanish signs and billboards. But then again these are 4th and 5th generation communities. Most people in this country today are of some over seas, South American descent. What we all have in common is that we're all legal. Like I said before I have no problem with you coming here, just do it the right way. Because you doing it the wrong way is slowly turning this land of the free, melting pot of a country, into the very thing you were trying to escape.

There are plenty of blacks, whites, asians, polish, whatever that live together, celebrate their heritage, have pride in their orgins. But seriously how many do you know that are illegal? That are messing up the american system? Seriously? Please answer that. You are a 3rd, 4th, 5th generation mexican. Happy that you're proud of your orgins. I am too. I'm happy to be mixed. I celebrate both. Bottom line. If we want this country to continue to be a strong independent country something has got to give. Mexicans are not the only illegals here, just the most known, and in my case, hurting me directly. All illegals need to be made legal or something!

      Re: maria – Am I typing english? Once again you prove yourself dumb. A hoe is a little angry girl on this blog named maria. She's a tool that many, many men like to penetrate.

      Re: Highla – With all due respect…Whatever Ms. Highla. I date all colors of the rainbow. I judge people on how they treat me and not on their residence. Now if that makes me a smuck so be it. I love all women regardless of their color. p.s. some of my best friends are filipino!

      First off it's Mr. We here in Highland Park don't like you. And this little post "I beg your pardon, it's whore not hoe. Do you live in a ghetto??? What school did you attend? What's the matter your parents could not afford to send you to a good private school? I live in Schaumburg; and would appreciate if you black people would move out and go back before you ruin another nice neighborhood. I know a couple of Mexican and they seem ok. What's your problem? " Looks pretty racist to me. I don't think your black or whatever girlfriend would like this.

      Re: Go Hom – You are a vicious man. When you have nothing to make sense; you come to attack a female. Wow, purdue university, I don't think so. For the record, I wouldn't go near a person who thinks like you. You are a discrase to the african community. You are the one with your stereotypes. Thank god, you are not Latin…because no true latino would attack a female like the way you have attacked me. I have done nothing to you. You are definately no gentleman. Man, i hope you don't have any kids. Cut it off, seriously. You need help with all your bottled up anger. SEEK HELP!!!

      This is just fucking ridiculous….xenophobic is right…why don't we quit hiding behind the "the war on terror" excuse and admitt that the real reason we pour out millions on border security is because are just scared of different people. Some Americans use words like aliens, invasion, attack, overpopulation. People have been migrating since the begining of time. Get the fuck over it. Besides, if you wanna get technical. It was Mexico's land first.

      It's a real shame so many are people are prejudiced. Bottom line it does not matter if you live in a ghetto, have higher learning or work in a grocery store. Somebody said it right, when they said the only people who can claim true amercianism is the American Indians. Go home, quit clowning on that girl Maria; she hasn't done anything to you!
