Were you lying around this morning, wallowing in your own filth and despair, wishing that a movie would come along and yell at you about how the American government has failed to secure the borders and one man will have to save us all and Take Matters Into His Own Hands?
Where's MST3K when you need it? Oh well, hopefully Riff Traxx can do something with this. The concept and the insect intervention just scream for snarking and bad puns.
<i> ...modern day O.K. Corral....</i> Why not a modern day modern day? Or was that called <i>Hud</i>? Maybe remake <i>The Seventh Seal</i>?
In all fairness, the border problems are in fact hard on the ranchers down there. Most of it is the litter and vandalism and property destruction as coyotes and drug mules move across their property. But things have also gotten more intense thanks to the drug smugglers becoming more emboldened and aggressive. Much of the problem is due to the government pulling the usual &quot;look, we&#039;re doing something&quot; half measures, such as putting pressure on the populated areas with increased security, which basically pushed the smuggling routes into the sticks. It made the problems less visible but also made things more dangerous. Immigrants do die of thirst or exposure while crossing and they do cause damage or even resort to property theft if they get desperate. Likewise, the war on drugs fiasco has simply turned the once relatively peaceful drug mules into increasingly violent and lawless thugs, thanks to the rise of the cartels. The obvious answer to the problems is immigration reform and drug policy reform, but many of those rural GOP&#039;ers are the ones who elect the hardline conservatives who fight those reforms tooth and nail so it&#039;s sometimes hard to feel too sorry for those ranchers.
Just don&#039;t tell me that Kenny and Natalie are related, okay?

Kind of like the Old West where there was just one wild buffalo left from the millions that roamed the Great Plains.
So somebody went out and shot it.
Socialist Bees!
Truly a Boreing film.
&quot;I guess white is just my color.&quot;

Great minds and all that.
Isn&#039;t a Trophy Tree what someone from Kentucky marries when he can&#039;t find a purdy cousin?
Ooh, he has a manly scar on his face! Fap fap fap fap fap...

Arizona - the state where nothing ever changes.
I heard on NPR this morning, that G.I. Joe was introduced 50 years ago. This guy looks about the right age.
