 | 2007 11 Borders and Illegal Immigration Common Sense I want you to listen this clip, Lou Dobbs, on Larry king, now I don't usually watch King, but I was flipping through the channels and came across this interview: Play it. Larry King Live, Lou Dobbs, 11/7 2007 There is a little matter, it seems to me, of being some six years distant from September 11th, with 160,000 of our troops in Iraq, almost 4,000 of them killed, our troops in 40 nations, fighting a global war on terror. And this administration is not secured our borders. And it has not secured our ports. And that's inexcusable. It's unconscionable. And on that basis, border security should be primary. And what's been done about it so far? I'll tell you. Nothing. And 'why' you ask? Should I dare say or suggest that the answer's political? I mean, ask any common-sensed person. How do you secure your home? You lock the door. A border isn't anything different - you put a wall up and shut it down. One way in, one way out. And you put the military on guarding it. After all, that's the federal government's job. But, they don't want it. I guess that job doesn't pay enough. They have to give up the back door bribes, the kickbacks, the votes? With all the pork-barrel spending, put a fraction of that money aside for bidding contractors - pay them a fair price, and that wall will go up so fast you'll be amazed. There's a wall being built, all right. But, it's made of asphalt, and it's not vertical - it's horizontal, the trans-Texas corridor. Now back to the votes, from who, the illegals flocking across the border? The dems had a plan for this, too. Play Clinton and Dodd's exchange in the October democratic debate over driver licenses for illegal alien in New York. MR. WILLIAMS: Who else? Senator -- SEN. CLINTON: I just want to add, I did not say that it should be done, but I certainly recognize why Governor Spitzer is trying to do it. And we have failed -- SEN. DODD: Wait a minute. No, no, no. You said yes, you thought it made sense to do it. SEN. CLINTON: No, I didn't, Chris. But the point is, what are we going to do with all these illegal immigrants who are (driving ?) -- (inaudible)? This failed miserably. They ran away from this faster than they run to thousands of dollars of campaign cash from convicted criminals. And, in the end, what part of the Constitution are they upholding and defending? You figure it out. |

 | Border Collie Rescue - Big Dog Week Meet some of the new arrivals at the Border Collie Rescue centre near York, UK, who came in to our care between Sept 16th and 19th 2007. The 5 members of the Border Collie clan featured in this video are from varied backgrounds and circumstances but have one thing in common - they are all BIG - between 29 and 37 kilos in weight. Meet Sam, a Merle from a farm who's owners tried for a long time to train him as a sheepdog, but he had other things in mind and showed little or no interest in his sheep. A fit, strong, enthusiastic and affectionate dog, his previous owners thought a lot of him and eventually came round to the idea that he may be better off in a home where his qualities were put to a more appropriate use and so contacted us to take him in and re-home him. Next, Nell and her son Bill who came to us after a vet, called in to put them to sleep, advised their previous owner that there WAS an alternative. Their common problem was that they were too enthusiastic around livestock and could not be stopped or called off and had become a serious liability. Their previous owner, a kindly man, had looked after them well, perhaps too well, as they are both overweight due to a combination of good diet and restricted excersise. Eventually, he had been obliged to consider the position of his neighbours who's sheep were also at risk from their attention and they had to go. When told about us, he was pleased to be able to pass them over and arranged for their initial vaccinations before they came into our care. We will have to see if their 'problem' has a cure! Last, but by no means the least, are The Boys. Two dogs that have come in from the Hambleton Dog Warden Service, Names Unkown. These two Border Collies, possibly brothers, are the largest and most overweight of all being 33+ and 36+ kilos respectively. The were abandoned by their previous owner/s near a caravan site and held by the dog wardens for two weeks instead of one, to give these previous owners a longer time to feel remorse and seek to reclaim them. It didn't happen - they've been 'dumped'. Another two good natured and affectionate dogs, well looked after, well fed, well socialised and well meaning. It is difficult to understand why they were dumped but sometimes people are more unpredictable than animals and can justify any action without concience. We are pleased to be able to offer these Border Collies a new start and a new life and having met them - priviledged to have made their aquaintance and had the chance to have done so. This is a video of how they came to us. The Border Collie is designed to be a sheepdog and was originally used for herding livestock in the English and Scottish Borders. Border Collie Rescue assesses all dogs coming into our care for herding ability and will rehome them as stockdogs if that is what they need to do but we also assess and rehome for scent discrimination skills to the Police, Prison Service and Excise to detect drugs, explosives and firearms -- to SARDA and other rescue organisations for mountain rescue and search and rescue work -- to help deaf, blind or otherwise disabled people as well as for working trials, flyball, agility, obedience and other interactive sporting disciplines and many of our dogs have qualified for Crufts in these disciplines. Those that show us they do not need or want to work are rehomed as PAT dogs, pets and companions. |

 | Horse Trainers Across Borders Clips from the film Horse Trainers Across Borders. The film and Ellens other DVS can be found at http://www.ellenofstad.com/englishdvd.htm The Dvd is from a gathering of horse trainers that came together to answer the question: What is good horse training? If trainers with different backgrounds, disciplines, philosophies and methods could figure out what they have in common and what they all agree on, they might get closer to finding an answer to this question. What do they all consider important in training? These questions are the inspiration behind the seminar called "Horse Trainers Across Borders". The event took place in July 2005 in Skurup, a small town in the south of Sweden at Ellen Ofstad's Equestrian Centre. Eight well known trainers came together and showed their methods, discussed, inspired and taught each other for three days. They found that although they came from different disciplines they had the same basic philosophy on how to work with horses. After the three days were over they gave a two days public seminar. Each trainer demonstrated and explained some aspect of horse training that they all considered important. Together they got closer to answering the question; What is good horse training? |
 | Mexico's stake in the US presidential election - 14 Oct 08 One group of people who are closely watching the election is the United States' neighbour to the south - Mexico. One of the key issues the two countries share is immigration and policing their common border. For many in Mexico, what happens in their future could likely hang on the policies of the new American President. Al Jazeera's Franc Contreras spoke with people on both sides of the international divide, and sent us this report from the US-Mexico border. |
