What we do, Mr. President, instead of a wall we're going to station 6000 used car salesman here on the border. One - They won't miss anyone who enters their zone. Two - They'll be able to annoy them back across the border.

"Mr. President, New Mexico's Richardson and Caleeeefornia's Terminator are always pissing everybody off. Texas is huge. Some of it can go. Nobody can find Arizona on a map so it won't be missed. Why not use Shock And Awe again? Create a chasm between the United States and Mexico with waters from the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific in between. A natural border!"

I eat breakfast 300 yards from men who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash the Seal of the President of the United States of America, and make me nervous.

HEY! This is the telephone pole in the background! How come no one ever captions us background objects? We're important too! Without us the background would just be boring sky! Who's with me?

"El Presidente, mi estados es su estados."

"Sir, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Gov. Napolitano? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You shill for amnesty, and you curse the Minutemen. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That amnesty's demise, while tragic, probably saved lives. Very soon, perhaps you can add defending its borders to the list of jobs Americans won't do. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about in Washington, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like legal, citizenship, and green card. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending our borders. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps within the security of the very borders that I defend, and then questions the manner in which I defend them. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to."

Nah, that's not the border. We had to put that fence up around the border patrol officer club or the illegals kept stealing our beer.

Sheriff to GWB: Now pay attention to me boy!! I need those Chicano's to dig a ditch right THERE for us to fill with burning tar. Pitbull here has the feathers in her van. Forget that President's plan, we are going to do it the right way here in Texas.

Sherrif: You know Mr. President, I really object to just using Praire Dogs as an early warning system here on the border. One we don't know that they'll Yep when an illegal comes across their home to alert us. Two I fear that your plan is to use Oklahoman Praire Dogs because they can be trained, but once they start breeding they'll start outnumbering the illegal immigrants and we'll end just having to shoot them.

President: We can't be shooting illegal alie.. immigrants from Mexico.

Sherrif: Well we can do that too, but I meant the imported dogs from Oklahoma ruining our environment and PETA getting on our case.

"Now Mr. President, when I remove my finger from under Janet's nose, you will see how effective the new Hypno-Detention method is - she will be in a very deep trance, but not fall over. That warehouse behind you is completely full of illegals in the same suspended state, and we need to know what you want us to do? Wake them up and let them go, wake them up and send them back, or build more warehouses?"

We are digging a moat the entire length of the border and we are using the dirt from it to build up New Orleans' dikes.

Then we will put some of Florida's alligators in the moat. See? It's a win-win-win!?
