Re: They should call in some ex DDR (ex East Germany) experts to solve the problem of illegal border trespassing into the USA... How about Israelis? I'm sure Israel would be glad to equip your Minuteman patrollers with UAVs and human-heat detectors.... Anyway, you teased me with that DDR gibe --fine with me: During the first days several people lost their live or were killed by the Eastern border guard . Günter Litwin was the first victim who was shot down by East German border guard in Berlin on August 24, 1961. 171 people were killed or died attempting to escape at the Berlin Wall between August 13, 1961 and November 9, 1989. [...] dailysoft.com Don't forget that number, Taro: 171. Do you think your border-patrol freaks won't go overboard? Do you think they won't score better than the flatfooted East Germans? Do you think they won't kill more than six wetbacks/year over the next 28 years (total: 168)?
