Updated now....He's dead.....I love a story with a Happy Ending ;-)

At least he wasn't able to hurt anyone else.

Are you am idiot? Of course they kept him awake - that's protocol. They were trying to talk him down without putting their own lives at risk. How are supposed to know what he may or may not have rigged in that cab? Did you miss the part in the story where the "victim" tried to attack an innocent person with a "sharp object"? So, if he had killed that person, do you think that person's family would simply chalk the criminal's behavior up to being high on drugs?

FYI - most psychopath's have an addiction to something -- that doesn't make their behavior exempt from detriment. This person was on a collision course with death from the moment he decided to commit armed robbery. It's a blessing that he was unable to hurt anyone else.

Wow trust2112, so the cops killed him? Sounds like he made his choice - the police had nothing to do with his actions.

I don't like cops very much myself. Most are corrupt and ALL the highest levels are corrupt. That being said, this one was not their fault. Could the man have been high? Sure. But it was something a bit more than just pot or pain meds. Both of which normally relax and calm a person. This guy was strung out and was for hours. Plenty of time for most drugs to wear off, including alcohol.

The thing you don't seem to grasp is that he possibly robbed someone with a weapon. He wouldn't have went to this extreme if he were innocent. Run? Yes, but not this. If you or anyone else robs me or my loved ones with a weapon, threatens them with a weapon or physical violence - this is the only proper result for someone that does that.

So if you like to get robbed at gunpoint or have it happen to a loved one and then go pat the robber on the back and ask him if you can help him/her with anything else. Be my guest. The rest of us will clap when it ends the only way it should.

In these cases where it is only the suspect that is likely to be hurt, why do they try all these sophisticated noise makers and lights, lob in a grenade and call it good.

Saved the taxpayers a lot of money by taking the plunge.

Life is hard enough, don't make it harder by making stupid choices.

Cops didn't kill him, he killed himself. I hate it that ANYONE died, but at least it was the perpetrator instead of someone innocent. As out of control as he was (or perhaps in control and had that much disdain for normal public behavior) he needed to be brought under control and the situation ended. I don't take any pleasure at all that the guy died, but your statement sounds like you're just anti-cop bigot. Now close your eyes and picture not caring that you're giving me the finger.

trust2112

i agree mostly. this was handled wrong. i mean the guy was surrounded 150 ft in the air. where was he going to go? did they think he was going to sneak away, or fly away during the night, or drive the crane down the road? all they had to do was wait him out and he probably would have climbed down on his own. but it seems that most of these posts are in favor of death and killing. worse of all is, those officers put there lives on the line by climbing up there when they didnt have to. what if one of them had fallen? for no reason. for a peace loving country we sure seem to love violence!!!!

Hate that this guy died? Really, why? I couldn't care less. Many people die every day that I do not know and for a variety of reasons. This clown precipitated his own death by his own dumb-assed decisions. I don't care.

Above at #1: Glad you posted, Jesse. You really added to this blog. Is "torr" a foreign word?

Above at #1.3: You are an idiot, trust. The cops did not kill this clown. If anything they did all they could to prevent that very thing from occuring.

No, in Texas this is a loss for the cops, they want to get him alive, so they can get the death penalty in court, for their crime fighting stats!--it is that simple--!

Hey, it's Texas. I would expect nothing more than the person causing the problem to end up dead..... one way or the other.

Jetjoky,

I believe the O/P was making a play on words, the graphic on the side of the crane says "Torre".

As far as the death, too bad it played out that way. But crazy/high/drunk/whatever doesn't matter, the guy made his choice.

baldeagle - Right on! Where was he going to go? How could he possibly harm anyone? This was a messed up operation by law enforcement. They made the mistake of forcing the situation, and the suspect reacted badly.

All law enforcement had to do was wait him out. He was no danger and no threat to ANYONE. I guess he could have used that can of WD40 as a weapon though...

Not sure what could have made the cops make such a bad decision? Was it because of overtime pay for an agency short on funding? Was it because this suspect was of so little value to society they felt they could force the issue & be fine with what ever took place?

I am a complete supporter of our law enforcement agencies. They are our hero's we take for granted! They get little / no thanks for what they do. Sorry guys - you screwed up this time!

You people who are happy the cops killed someone suck!

Ah yes. "trust" is another bed wetter that has compassion for the scum of society who cause harm to others. The cops didn't kill this vermin, you little 5-year old child. HE KILLED HIMSELF. And I'll tell you something else, "trust": he was lucky he didn't come across a gun-toting Texan swinging a nail-driven weapon because he could just as easily been DRT (dead right there) by said civilian in self defense. And as a conceal-carry gun owner myself, I would have NO PROBLEM wasting someone who tried to rob me or carjack me. You don't like it? Too damned bad.

People like you think the cops are the bad guys and the criminals are the good guys. You people live in an upside down, backwards world. And I also don't have to guess what political party you vote for too. And finally, you childishly gave us the finger. Well I've giving you a bend over salute and pointing, telling you what to kiss. Finally, I'm glad this criminal will no longer be a menace to society. Now go to Home Depot or Lowes, buy a 50lb. bag of sand, bring it home, and go pound it!

Sorry but the cops did not kill this guy. I hate that he had to go but the cops did not kill him.

trust2112....I guess when there is a stupid criminal that sprays WD-40 all over the place...and you don't know what WD-40 is.....and then you grab onto something coated with it....Oooopsie-Daisy....down you go...It wasn't the fall that killed him.....it was the sudden stop.

Cops didn't kill anyone. Man tried to stab another with a sharp object and rob him. Cops surrounded him and waited all day for him to surrender. He climbed out onto a dangerous location rather than surrender and fell. I am surprised the apolice waited so long on the sdge of a scool campus. Sorry Larry I live in Texas and I would trust my life to Texas cops. I would trust them much farther then I would Feds. And I do deal with police from the Dallas area every spring when the state helps our local area out by sending people from that area all the way to the southern tip of Texas to help with spring break. It is easy to get along with Texas cops just say yes sir when they stop you.

I agree that this guy was a nutjob and got himself killed, but I'm wondering why the community had to be subjected to bright lights and loud noises after he was holed up in that cab by himself. How well did that work for Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians? Cordon off the area and leave him alone; he'd have become hungry/thirsty before too long. Crazies don't do what you expect, and if anything they seem to thrive on their "persecution."

From an economic standpoint, what would the cost have been to station one policeman to observe when the bad guy started to come down? No Swat, no fire trucks, just one cop until more were needed? I bet they spent a couple hundred thousand, when one or two thousand would have done the job.

Idiots like Trust12 are why this country is so F'd up. Let's blame everyone but OURSELVES for our own problems. It's the cops fault this guy committed armed robbery, stole a truck and then jump out of a crane window.

This guy made his OWN choices (free country) and has to live (and die) with them.

Please take your pansy ways to another country.

I'm just glad we don't have to pay for this guy in jail now.

BALD EAGLE

Yes this guy was surrounded by air, but he claimed to have a gun. He was right above SMU, a CVS and homes, and if he had a rifle could repeat the University of Texas shootings. The suspect was obviously nuts. Why else would he climb 100-150 feet up? He would have never given up. But if the cops had waited another day he would have died anyway. No water, no airconditioning, no real shade and temps in the 90s. There was no way out except to give up or jump.

Saved the taxpayers a lot of money by taking the plunge.

Oh, I'm sure the guy's family will initiate a wrongful death lawsuit against the police department at some point. That's the way we do things in this country now... and even if they don't win it will still cost the taxpayer's money.

Just keep thinnin the herd..................starting with the stupid ones first.

Hey trust2112 - What a hypocrit you are..."giving someone the finger".......Correct me if I am wrong....but I don't think God would take too kindly to you at the "pearly gates" for that jesture. I think you are on crack and in need of some serious therapy. The police did their job and the man made a choice. HE jumped...he was not shoved! You play, you pay...plain and simple.

Good riddance!!

They should have let the guy go to sleep and then peacefully arrest him. I'm sure he could hav been rehabilitated in prison. Who knows he may have come out of prison knowing how to operate that crane.

Are you not entertained yea its not like he was goin anywhere sleeping gas maybe would have done the job well serve and protect yea serve and protect yourselves in this one i dont know what crystal meth does but somebody is makin the money and someones makin the stupid choices to smoke the stuff

You people who are happy the cops killed someone suck! My guess is that he was either drunk or high on Prescription pills, so instead of waiting for him to pass out, they kept him awake, then rushed him and helped in his death. I hope the family sues the PD and I hope you all that posted mean spirited crap, get yours at your Pearly Gates, you know that place you'll be denied and I hope your fall from grace is as fun for me, as it was for you talking about this poor individual. (Close your eyes now, and picture me giving you the finger.)

Wow, Trust, you sure seem to know about this situation...even more than the media, apparently. So, this "poor individual" was either drunk or high...and not just high, but high on prescription pills? Making some huge assumptions, here. And then the police "rushed him and helped him to his death?" So, obviously you know the details of the situation at the time that the police decided to move in...thing like the suspect's state of mind during negotiations, comments made about weapons, suicide, etc, right?

No, you don't know any of this. Neither does the media, who are giving scant real details on the situation. I can tell you that it's almost certain that the police decided to move in for a very specific reason...and that the situation was almost certainly forced by the suspect. Otherwise, continued containment and negotiation would have been the words for the day. Maybe he claimed that he had a weapon and was going to start using it (early reports indicated he may have a firearm). Or maybe he threatened to jump and the police were moving in in an attempt to prevent his suicide. Whatever the reason, all he had to do was surrender and he would be alive right now.

In the end, the police were not to blame for his death or the situation that lead to his death...he was. He committed the robbery. He barricaded himself in the crane and initiated the standoff. He climbed out of the cab when confronted by SWAT and fell to his death. No Monday Morning Quarterback who doesn't know jack about law enforcement or ambulance chaser lawyer that sues the PD next week on the behalf of the family for "wrongful death" can change that.

Hey Bunkie your'e the hypocrit. Giving the finger is not comparable to what God did to Soddom and Gomorrah. Take the aluminum foil hat off your head, step out of your trailer and get some fresh air up to your oxygen deprived pea sized brain. Youv'e been watching a little too much Jerry. Step away from the computer, take your Psych meds and weave a basket !

DPD strikes again! idiots need to all get fired. This is not a video game and perhaps if the DPD was not shooting up roids every morning they would have had a better plan than this childish and irresponsible one. If the guy had a hostage or something then i can see their idea as possible (still dumb). There was no hostage and why on earth after what 14 hours or longer did they not set up fall bags under the crane? The guy just didnt want to go to jail so.. lie to him and get him down! What makes me even more sick is all the people i saw on the news thinking it was funny and were excited to get to see how it all ends as if it was a tv show or something. Dallas is a garbage pit

Oh sticks and stones......funny, I thought the same thing when I read you unintelligent and brainless comment. Have a great day!!!! MORON!

texana deb

the point i'm trying to make is the safety of the cops that took unneccessary risks for no reason. the swat team could have easily taken him out if he was armed and do it from the ground. do you think the taxpayers would have like to pay for a funeral or 2 for a fallen cop? yes he was wrong, yes he was dangerous, but what was the rush in getting our cops killed? seems like we are all in a rush to kill someone and with no concern for our troups or law enforcement, just like Iraq!!!

USA is a "piece loving country" according to what standard? Obviously you have never been anywhere else!

GOOD! At least now he doesn't get to live in jail, get fed 3 times a day with great healthcare on taxpayers dime if he gets convicted. Thanks for eliminating that option for us.

So let me get this straight. Trust 2112 immediately ASSumes the gentleman in question was high on drugs. Completely disregarding some sort of mental illness, psychotic break, or any other reason. THEN Trust2112 is villifying those who are making "mean spirited comments" about the unfortunate choice this guy made. Then in the same post implys that he is more rightous and deserving of being accepted into heaven because he did NOT make mean spirited comments about the unfortunate choices the guy made. Yet in the VERY same paragraph Trust2112 says that he will laugh at the alleged sinners, and gloat at their misfortune and nonacceptance into his heaven, and "gives them the finger". Amazing. How very Christian of you. Your post puts you into the same category as those you villify. The irony is stunning since your tag line tells all of us to "walk it like we talk it". Might want to go back to Bible study and rehash the parts about behaving as Jesus did. You know.. "forgiving those who trespass", "turn the other cheek". Sounds a lot like a popular line of scripture when Jesus talks to the Hypocrits about not judging, lest they be judged. Simply amazing. Just an observation, but it appears you embody everything people see wrong with organized religion these days. How does it feel to be the switch that possiblyotentially turned somebody off from following Christianity? Well done.

Where do these Idiots come from? why is it that the closer you get to the Equator the more crazies there are, must be the Sun cooking peoples brains, this guy wasn't meant to live he was to stupid, where did he think he was going?did he think the cops would get tired and go away? its his fault hes dead and no one else. the cause of death was multiple successive Random acts of stupidity. one less fool to worry about. RIP its over.

Swat told him..either get your butt back in here or jump..its almost our coffee break time.

I never said I would be in Heaven. Kinda hard to be in a fake place, although all the fake people I know think they'll be there. I'm an Atheist, as a person who believes that energy cannot be destroyed, just transform, I can still give you the finger :)

cop#1: Oh, he fell!!!

cop#2: Is he dead?

cop#1: Don't know, wanna check him out?

cop#2: nah, we'll wait for the EMT, it's not our job.

cop#1: You're right, let's go get some coffee.

Support women's right to control birth control and render better population growth. We control crops and animal farming, and I am not being cynical here. See, other earth life forms which does mate like humans end up being pests, like mice and roaches. We are to become PESTS on this planet.

Meditate; Fascism and the Human Firewall: Whereby the Catholic and Muslim institutions are posturing massive human population growth in order to, 1: Build wealth, 2: Set a shield around their space.

Meditate; The mis-step of Obama's election, which caused this backlash, to significantly build the massively funded Libertarian Revolution. So now the likes of msnbc's David Gregory, Chuck Todd and of course Morning Joe are broadcasting, which actually tells, because of the Citizens United Ruling, the entire media industry here in the USA is a conglomerate of the Ayn Rand society.

Now, who would have thought the Koch brothers can emerge as the most powerful figures to date, in the 21st century. I guess it is most scary, but yet fascinating to see this crap happen in my lifetime.....

There's no doubt in my mind that the guy would have fallen asleep if they'd have just waited. It was just a matter of time.

If he was armed, he wouldn't have tried to use a nail to carjack someone. Some people just don't use common sense when posting their speculative opinions.

What the guy did certainly wasn't right but the police could have been a bit more patient before they decided to do what they did.

Big financial savings and a waste of precious limited resources at the same time. He saved the expenses of arrest and trials and possibly incarceration. But, at the same time, the glory-seeking cops wasted precious revenue by sending a swat team up the tower. As another pointed out, they should have just waited him out. One cop could have waited at the base and grabbed as he descended. They would not have to even pay overtime to the cops - one is assigned there and they just replace each other at the end of their shifts.

But of course the cops wouldn't have been able to practice their training. And if the suspect had slept it off and then things went bad in broad daylight there was the possibility of their greatest fear being realized - the civilian video recorder. One of those could nullify the "plausible deniability" of the police version of events.

Why do self-proclaimed Atheists feel the need to broadcast their beliefs???

Can I take you off my prayer list???

the WD40 worked perfectly as the "NUT " slipped right off after applying !!!now it has a thousand and two uses in a can :P

You think that's bad, you should see me running around town screaming, "I'm a heterosexual, and proud of it!" I'm still waiting for my equality, when do hetero's get our own parade? And yes, you can quit praying for me, give it too someone who actually believes it works.

and the WD40 worked great on removing that "NUT" and it slipped off real easy

That would have sucked if he landed on a innocent person's car.

I thought it was letting your load Free Fall....guess he did't watch the slack.

I see the conservative "christians" are up early this morning. Posting before going to church?

In my case you're correct sam. What would you like to do with him since he's a violent criminal? Probably pat him on the head, sue the people he violated, then let him loose to do it all over again correct? Yes, I read page 3, paragraph 2 of the "How to be a good liberal" handbook. The 3rd sentence of para. 2 reads "Punish the innocent, let the guilty go". Keep on not using your brain.

What does being Conservative have to do with anything? Are we supposed to be Worried about an escaped fugitive fell right back into Police custody? Hell No.

They don't tell his ondition. It's only 14ft...he could have easily survived it

Janine-1645002.....(#8.3)...14 Feet ???.....it was 14 HOURS.....he fell 150 FEET, the height of a 15 story building....Unless he landed on a giant pillow made of marshmallows, he's probably very dead....

Doesn't the headline read "falls toi his death from crane?" Is it just me?

Trantham...(#8.5)... ???? What is your problem ??????....

Todd-3237608...."Article and headline have been updated...earlier it said --- Condition Unknown----"

LOL! Lighten up, Francis Trantham!

Trantham - Wow you can throw out acronyms and use Google. Oh yeah, and the screenshot thing. You must be really hard core.

Lets break this down for you. He is in the USAF, got it. He used his position as a federal employee? For what gain exactly? See there's the failure in your logic. He made a statement, so what if his name has USAF in it. Maybe he's proud of being in the USAF and decided to include that in his name. No rules against that, none at all. It's discouraged but not against UCMJ. Just because you dislike his statement means nothing to the DoD. In fact if you really do 'report' him, they won't even give you the courtesy of a response.

Now lets continue. So you've taken screenshots and reported him. Soooo scary. Since the US military has much more pressing matters to attend to I'm going to just laugh at you being butt hurt by his statement. See, they're not going to devote ANY resources into tracing a username or having MSN turn over records of the registration and IP addresses associated with it - just for an innocent comment that didn't break a single code in accordance with UCMJ.

Now get a life and stop trying to be an internet bada**. Have a great day.

Sam Adams: I think you are the nut job but if you like criminals so much we can send you the drunk who hit three pedestrians with his car. You can have every person who broke Texas law and you can live with them as your neighbors. And you know he is still in the Air force now and not a vet by what he posted.

Another liberal bully going to run to daddy.

I bet their family will sue the city for the armed suspect's dumb mistakes. Like make the crane safer, should have put pillows on the ground, etc........

All I can say is thank God he didn't damage the crane

...RIP, loser

Is that what broken english looks like?

People gets a kick out of making the story stretch the truth that lands up being mean gossip.

No, that's what INSIGHT looks like.

Great minds think alike. Fools seldom differ. Santo Nino es un hombre de la primera grupa. Usted, El Punitidor, estas de la secunda. Buenos noches a todos los dos!

Treat him for what? He fell to his death. It's even in the headline.

No dear, the loon is dead, no worries for your tax dollars.

What would you say if he turns out to be one of our hero soldiers suffering from PTSD or any number of other brain injuries . I am not saying he was but if it was the case would your opinion be different or would you still be worried about your tax dollars.

He fell to his death. I never understood that statement. I guess death isn't really good at catching anyone when they fall down or is he? hmmmm. makes you wonder.

The man is dead!! It says in the article above that "he fell to his death"

shelldog...Article and headline have been updated...earlier it said --- Condition Unknown----

hey there voices, I hear my meds are acting up again. that reply is just to funny, I'm still mia,rotf,lmao

MSN's sole purpose is grab your eyeballs to read the ads, not to inform you. Wonder why there are so many ads in the forum messages? Because the posters paid to have them there.

hey one voter, the reason you only get the cops side of the story is 2 fold. 1st there is the fact that the news stations have a police liason on site who tells them what and what they cannot air. 2nd, if they did tell you the other half of the story, you might find these people were totally justified in doing what they did, and thats a no money in the state coffers situation and you know that wont fly, especially ina republican state.

There are ads in the forum messages? Ah, the joys of having adblock installed on your computer.

How about this piece of information the Dallas police sat at the base of that crane for hours in 100 degree heat waiting for an armed robber to surrender? He didn't so if they had continued to wait into the next days 100 degree heat they would still be taking out a dead body today. Because he would have died of heatstroke or dehydration. How is that for information?

one voter

I recall learning basic journalism in grade school. The big five questions the news is supposed to answer, who, what, when, where and why.

That is your first mistake right there: assuming that anything you read on MSNBC would even remotely resemble basic, grade school journalism.

First, the article has been updated and the man died. Not condemning you for that because you posted based on incorrect information to start with.

Second, I'm going to be the grammar police for a second because it really bothers me that you are upset about tax dollars going to help a man survive when I'll be willing to bet you're a sponge on society as well. So here, I'll help you out a little. When the little red line shows up under the word you're typing ..... its spelled incorrectly. Condition is not plural, we spend tax dollars on patients not money and servive is spelled "survive".

Another spellchecker. Amazing how liberals tend to break that out when they cant argue the point. Nothing like trying to build yourself up at someone elses expense. Tool...

Shame shame Thom.... You didn't break out the 'spell check'. Amazing, righties like you love pointing the finger of blame, but when you do it, its okay righttttttttttttttttt.

if what you say is true, then who are the real idiots here? it could have been 1 of those cops that fell for no reason we could be reading about. what's the rush. is everyone that anxious to see blood spilled? i'm talking about the cops taking unneccessary risks with their own lives! of all the posts i've read so far, noone seems to care about the cops. the guy in the crane was not in a place to do harm to anyone. if he was armed, then the swat could have very easily taken him out from the ground.

Wow. Proper spelling and grammar now has political ties? Idiocy goes both ways in my book so no worries.

Personally, I don't know how people can post things with such mistakes. It totally derails any argument made when a post is full of mistakes and the people who read it will absolutely remember you cannot spell even if your post is insightful. Grab a dictionary or take my college grammar book and get it right...or tell me again that lefties are the grammar tight wads while republicans are not. Last I checked, intelligence matters in life so those of you who get it wrong should care. Unless you want the illegals who are learning English as a second language to be smarter than you?

He is dead. For all you northern city people the temperature in Dallas today with no water would have killed the man if he didn't surrender. That is why the cops forced the situation. Texas is as usual dealing with a heat index in the triple digits. My son in law who used to think my temperatures were just wonderful got a lesson in 100 degrees at 10 am last year. He understands the difference now.

Guess not. 150 foot fall....

thank you, i guess its to much to ask people to care any more, thank you for some humanity, since he was up 150 feet or so he could well be dead, but he has a family, people who love him and care for him. why do we feel the need to laugh and make fun of people who at the end of there hope destroy themselves?or start runnig down presidents ?if they don't like the way things are run do something about it, reach out to help some one, we can't save the whole world but we can say a kind word , donate to feed a child, make some one feel important instead of trying to make ourselves feel important, but thank you douglas for caring

the reason the man is dead, is that HE decided to steal the other mans truck , damaging several other vehicular in the process, not giving a crap about anyone or anything, he gets cornered and after 14 hours of the cops trying to get him to surrender he falls out of the crane. he could have just gave up. its his own damn fault ok......his own damn fault. bad career choice.

If you want to feel bad for his family - fine. But not him. You bleeding hearts always get me. He robbed someone with a weapon but you feel bad for him? I guess victims don't get sympathy... oh wait this is America, land of the pansies and bleeding hearts. I almost forgot, thought we were a bit more evolved for a second.

First its called "SpellCheck" look into it. Secondly, get over yourself. President Obama has nothing to do with this one. Gimme a friggin break.

Nice, break out the spell check line. Typical liberal...

SPELL CHECK - there righty.. now that we have finished today's grammar and spelling bee, can you share with us more of your wisdom? or are you do back in Wacko

due

and it's your kind thom that keep bringing up obama....someone has to keep everyones thoughts on track. It's definitely not the right doing that.

People jump all over someone who criticizes another's spelling. Here's a clue people: Your post is a reflection of YOU. Little things indicating you hit the wrong key and didn't proofread very well? No biggie, it happens to everybody. But when you are, presumably, an adult and you can't even spell or punctuate at a 3rd grade level you are obviously an idiot. And THAT makes anything you have to say irrelevant and of no importance.

now thats the most common sense i've heard all morning. aaaannnnd that is where in the problem lies, common sense, or rather, the lack there of. maybe we should get the CDC on this epidemic of lakosense. 2nd thought, let's not, they're already getting coffins to bury us in after they release a super bug to wipe out millions of us.

by the way, that is no joke. the CDC has ordered millions of "crypt liners". type in CDC coffins, rex84,and fusion centers and look at the information.

And then today he could be out stabbing another citizen and stealing their truck. How about we send people like this to live next door to you so they can stab you and steal your car instead?

I came home to Texas 2 years ago. I was in a beat up motorhome with a dog staying in rest areas because I left a stressful family situation. The young officer from a Dallas suburb who came out there listened to my story and the only thing he asked of me was that I promise not to leave Texas for 6 months until I was sure what I wanted to do. Basically I was homeless and broke in a rest area south of Dallas on I 35 and I was treated well. I also think he put the license number out because I stayed 3 days in the rest area on I 37 and nobody bothered me. I would trust any Texas cop with my life and my freedom.

Unfortunately there are a lot of Californians migrating here after bankrupting their own state. Trust me, if we could turn them away at the border we would... along with all the illegal aliens they so love.
