Well, I suppose it’s legal

15 June 2010

New Mexico Independent:

Sure, there’s been talk of using unmanned aerial drones to monitor the border, but Republican congressional candidate  Tom Mullins has found himself in a bit of hot water over offering a proposal to put land mines on the United States – Mexico border.

As the Associated Press on Monday:

In the May 18 interview with KNMX radio in Las Vegas, N.M., Mullins says the U.S. could mine the border, install barbed wire and post signs directing would-be border jumpers to cross legally at designated checkpoints.

He explained Monday it was a suggestion he’d heard while campaigning.

There are two American nations that haven’t signed the “Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction“… one is an  an island that’s had a fend off a few amphibious landings and terrorist incursions from the other one, which I suppose COULD mine it’s border with either of two of the treaty’s signatories.  Which might make cross-border rock tossing kind of exciting… too bad about the livestock, though:
