I was on the Texas border a few weeks back. I met with some folks that follow the hispanic gangs like the Mexican Mafia. And with some other people who's job is usually to "kill people and break things" as Rush says.
After chatting with them I would not get on a commercial airliner unless I really had to. Their big fear is that the Islamo types grease the hispanic gangs with enough cash to get them to pop off a few MANPADS at some commercial airliners. Which would be very easy to do. They said the kill zone is a 40 mile swatch to and from the airport. Put the device together in about a minute, get tone on the target, shoot and scoot. The bad guys are miles away when the target his hit. Which is what I expect happened to flight 880.
The gangers will do anything for a buck. Imagine how hard it will be to track the bad guys when they are not Middle Eastern but hispanic.
We have a bunch of idiots in Washington. Either that or they figure the number of people killed in various events is something they can tolerate. And that's it worthwhile to have illegals here because they work cheap and/or someday they throw an amnesty blanket over all of them and then they become real taxpayers and save "soch security".
I wonder what it's going to take to modify the thinking some people in Washington have on our border security. I hope I don't find out what the answer to that is.
Once the politicians fear for their political lives, you will see them turn around. We as a people have to get to a point where we in essence communicate in no uncertain terms to them that this is how it has to be, or they will be out on their ear. Sadly, we are no where near there yet for far too many of our fellow citizens.
I try and depcit what the "far worse" might be like in the Dragon's Fury Series

What it might take is outting the rest of our bureaucratic elites for hiring their "servants" illegally and letting us subisdize them with health care, etc, just like Karik.
