U.S. Congressman supports rape as a border control method!

Promoting outgoing President Vincente Fox to "generalissimo", giving Mexico a border with Honduras and somehow claiming Mexican media is invading the U.S. aren't nearly as outrageous as Congressman Ted Poe (Republican, of course: Texas 2nd District)'s suggestion that rape and brutality are effective border control methods. Poe, on the floor of the United States House of Representatives said yesterday :

The border war continues. Generalissimo Fox and the Mexican media have taken a setback in the illegal invasion of the United States.

The Congressman believes deployment of National Guardsmen to the border is a "publicity stunt", but that it has been effective. In the Texas lawmaker's estimation, Mexicans hoping to enter the US have slowed their crossing out of fear of being brutalized by the National Guard, which they see as similar to "that Mexican military machine that is on the southern Mexican border--that reportedly rapes, robs and beats Hondurans and Guatemalans that are just trying to do jobs that Mexicans won't do."

"Just think," concluded Poe, "what would happen if we used more Guardsmen on the border front."
