land mines on the border?

Sure,that's what a local Congress man been talking while running his platform. 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:
Radio Interview:

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 it was a suggestion he’d heard while campaigning.

Attention on the border has intensified since the killing of Robert Krentz by what authorities believe was an illegal immigrant.
Mullins will face incumbent Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., in the general election in November.
