A Real Reality Show!

Filed under: TV News > Reality Television > Politik

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….

    #9 Stop I says- I couldn't have said it better myself. CHEERS to you! Keep posting.
    I am looking forward to the show. The rest of America needs to see what is going on at the borders and that we need to beef up security there asap.

    it can't be any worse than Australia's version of the show–it is perhaps the dumbest show on earth, altho all their programming is crap and I can't believe we would follow them in anything

    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.

    When you watch the Australian version you're just laughing most of the time. I mean, some people are just so unbelievably stupid. It's such a huge ego boost.

    I seriously doubt any terrorist is going to get substantial knowledge from it. It's just entertaining.

    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!

    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?

  45. FU says – reply to this

    …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.

    Great! Sounds like we will see the "real" goings on of our government's war on terrorism.. eh, immigration.. um, drug war.. well anyway.. i'm sure since this is being produced in cooperation with homeland security, we will get the full truth… ha ha ha… YEAH FUCKING RIGHT!!!!!!!!!

    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.

    FUCK ABC!!!!!! I can't believe that they would support such atrocity! To support and ridicule minority people in such a blatant way is inhumane and irresponsible. Shame on you ABC! Who do they think tunes in to their stupid ass programs! What's up with all the crazy white people hating on the Hispanic and Latino communities??? We didn't bomb New York!

    You're an idiot Stop I, be like sharon stone and shut your fucking yap! 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: bb – Don't ever equate the early settlers of the US with fucking gross illegal Mexicans and other assorted losers from Central and South America.

    Your culture is different than mine and so are your people. You turned your country into corrupt garbage dumps now you are hellbent on doing the same to mine.
    We hate you and don't want you here. You steal from each other and don't value education and even people that are nice to your face think the same thing and you know it.

    I will not be watch this fake assed "Cops" bullshit. This whole "Immigration Debate" is nothing but this decade's version of the "War on Drugs." Basically, it amounts to a bunch of political rhetoric designed for politicians to gain from the ignorance and stereotypical beliefs of people who don't really know any better.

    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.

    Re: Go Hom – motherfucker! i pay my taxes like everyone else and celebrate american as well as latino holidays. i know a lot of blacks live in one house with an extended family in one apt. so before you go picking on latinos, you better look real hard at your own race. and hell yeah, i honk my horn mexican independce day, just like i light up fire crackers on 4th of july. for the record my family has been here for 3 generations and we are proud of our heritage; american and mexican. by the way i wouldn't live by a black person like you for nothing, everyone knows your people always go into a white area; where you are not invited and populate there. then the whites have to move out, okayyyy bitch. lmao
