We can only estimate the thousands of deaths of US citizens by illegal aliens on our own soil. The media fails to report them, the government ignores them. The murder of David Hartley, on Falcon Lake in Texas and the subsequent beheading by those same cartels of the lead investigator in retaliation have thrown some attention on the threat to us all by the failed state of Mexico.
The Arizona Daily Star gives us some facts.
Forty-eight Americans were murdered in Mexico during the first six months of 2010
The tally doesn't include two Texans reported killed Sept. 30 in separate incidents in isolated areas of Tamaulipas,
A college freshman from Brownsville, Jonathon William Torres Cazares, was shot and killed after authorities say his public bus got hijacked on a highway in Tamaulipas.
State Department data shows at least three other Americans were slain this year in Tamaulipas. But no details were available. In much of Tamaulipas, the news media are no longer reporting on crime because of threats and violence against journalists carried out by drug traffickers.
Last year, 80 homicides of U.S. citizens were reported in Mexico, compared to 57 in 2008 and 35 in 2007.
At least 13 Americans have been slain in Ciudad Juarez in 2010, including an employee of the U.S. Consulate, Lesley Enriquez, 35, and her husband, Arthur Redelfs, 34.
State Department homicide statistics tell only part of the story: Many killings abroad never get reported.
Three U.S. citizens , all from New Mexico - were reported by Mexican authorities to have been abducted during a May wedding at a Catholic Church in Juarez. Their bodies were later found dumped in a pickup truck, but those three homicides do not appear to be included in the registry.
The State Department refuses to reveal the names of the victims, though consular officials are required to monitor investigations abroad that involve U.S. citizen victims and communicate with families. A State Department warning said four U.S. citizens had been murdered in Gomez Palacio in 2009-2010. Many more killings of Americans have been reported in Chihuahua state, which includes Ciudad Juarez and borders El Paso. Sixteen U.S. citizens have beenLink reported slain there so far in 2010 - 13 died in Juarez .
But here is where the double standard of Mexico, and too many of our elected officials really gets ironic. While Mexico and Obamanation turn a blind eye to the dangers and deaths of US Citizens by Mexicans, Mexico is in New York demanding (and getting it!) protection for their border jumping citizens here against harassment! None of them died! Mexico refuses to let us investigate the murder of David Hartley in Mexico and chops the heads off any Mexican investigator who tries! This has gone on so long, that now Mexicans are beheading people in our cities.
[snip]Police are investigating another assault on a Hispanic man in Staten Island as a possible hate crime — and the Mexican government is now getting involved as well.
“We will act decisively in order to protect our citizens and will actively promote that those guilty of these vicious attacks are brought to justice expeditiously. We are working hand-in-hand with local authorities on all levels,” said Consul General of Mexico in New York, Ruben Beltran in an email to the Staten Island Advance.
Beltran has asked the NYPD to “conduct a thorough investigation” of the alleged hate-crime cases. Beltran has offered “extensive cooperation and all the necessary support to ensure that justice is served.”
This latest incident has promoted the Mexican Consulate to post personnel in Staten Island until further notice. This move is an effort to safeguard the rights of individuals and effectively assist and provide information to the Mexican residents of this area.
Mexican officials have also created an information line that for immigrants to contact if they are afraid to contact authorities directly.
Immigration Enforcement ‘Surge’ Nets Thousands of Gang Members (image)More than 11,000 gang members and their associates have been arrested over a three-year period.
And what is the cost to us for Mexico exporting its own criminals to our cities?
CNS news reports: U.S. taxpayers are spending at least $18.6 million per day to house an estimated 300,000 to 450,000 illegal immigrants who are incarcerated and eligible for deportation from the United States, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The cost per day for these prisoners is based on Justice Dept. incarceration cost estimates from 2001 and on the lower-end figure of 300,000 incarcerated deportable aliens, which means the actual expense today could be substantially higher than $18.6 million per day.
Mike Cutler, former INS agent and TV commentator has a message.
I am forced to once again ask, "What will it take?"
What will it take for our government to finally secure our nation's borders, especially the border that is supposed to separate the United States from Mexico? I was angered, as I suspect many others were, when at first the news reports appeared shortly after the story broke that an American citizens had been killed on the Mexican side of Falcon Lake that indicated that Mexico was not willing to participate in the investigation, even calling into question the truthfulness of Tiffany Hartley, David Hartley's distraught wife.
Mexican officials also also refused to permit American law enforcement officials to enter the Mexican side of the lake in order to search for Michael Hartley's body.
However, when 6 citizens of Mexico were allegedly assaulted in New York City- Mexican officials took to the streets of Staten Island, New York to patrol New York City streets to protect their citizens and were not blocked from doing so by the local government.
Trackback: Beheadings become signature of Mexico's drug gangs CUERNAVACA, Mexico - The preferred form of cruelty by drug cartel henchmen is to capture enemies and behead them, a once-shocking act that has now become numbingly routine. Decapitations emerged alongside another gruesome tactic - dumping the bodies of rivals in vats of acid. Cartel goons have moved away from that method, however.
We have been totally infiltrated.
Not sure there’s any going back at this point.
“But Moochelle says it’s safe to travel to Mexico!....”
Take a look at this photo of several decapitated heads thrown on a dance floor.....warning REALLY graphic.
Michelle Obama Declares it Safe to Travel to Mexico - NOT SATIRE
“We have been totally infiltrated.
Not sure there’s any going back at this point.”
I hear ya. This Texas born native isn’t ready to give up! And I know you aren’t.
False.
“Stop going into Mexico people!”
I stopped going in the 80’s. The problem is, how do we stop MEXICO from coming here??? Their war is now our war, beheadings and all.
Yet, there are MANY, even here on FR, who insist Mexico is just fine!
Despite warnings, Mexico still draws Americans
FALCON LAKE, Texas — Despite a bloody drug war raging just across the border, some Americans living near Mexico act as if it’s still a backyard playground.
In the last two weeks alone, two American tourists have been killed in Mexico in vicious attacks — one while riding a Jet Ski and another when his bus was hijacked. And a Mexican police commander investigating one of those deaths was killed this week, his severed head delivered in a suitcase to a local Army post.
But Texas officials keep encouraging boaters to enjoy the bass fishing on a border lake. And Gov. Rick Perry has not urged people to take any special precautions, suggesting only that U.S. and Mexican authorities increase the law enforcement presence in the area.
“There’s like a psychological aspect to these kinds of warnings, that folks just don’t take them seriously, or perhaps they believe the authorities are simply issuing these for liability reasons,” said Fred Burton, vice president of intelligence for Stratfor Global Intelligence, which analyzes the drug war.
“There are people that say, ‘Well, I know this area. I’m comfortable. Nothing will ever happen to me.’”
Tiffany and David Hartley may have been two of those people. David Hartley’s father, Dennis, said his son was not aware of any violence on the lake.[snip]

Foreign governments patrolling American streets! We the people may need to get involved sooner then we think.

Don’t like the NY Mosque? How ‘bout Mexican Police patrolling NY streets?
http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2010/08/dont-like-ny-mosque-how-bout-mexican.html
We have to keep a watch on the likes of Lindsey Graham and Johnny Sutton who might pull a fast one. Although Sutton resigned, he said he was going to keep one foot in Conservative groups.
Although Chile needed us to save its miners, it is one of 11 nations eager to sue Arizona, according to examiner.com and other sites. Outrageous.
Ping!
What we have here is a failed state, Mexico, in civil war, a war which is fueled by drug money, now oozing over the porous border - -the degeneration of civility in the US is a continuation of this civil war, a war of warlords and gangs and money. Houston has 10,000 gang members in 225 gangs - no doubt the real number is 10X higher. It is foolish to be out unarmed. Taliban is linking up with Narcotraficantes. Soon we will see roadside bombs. Beheadings and car bombs are already here.
Thanks for the ping and link.
Amazing...yet not so.
