"If true, it suggests the Mexican cartels' paramilitary forces already are operating within the United States,"
"Snipers working as lookouts for drug traffickers were targeting Border Patrol agents from vantage points across the U.S.-Mexico border. Agents assigned to the Douglas station in Arizona's southeastern corner were fired at on at least six occasions."
"27 U.S. citizens have been abducted along the border in the past six months, two of whom were killed."
NOW can we redeploy the National Guard to guard our nation? How much more of this are we supposed to take?
Dang. I had the BP Tucson Sector Commander (Michael Nicely) available last night and didn't even think to bring up the question of how long he thinks it will be before one of his agents gets shot.
The bulk of the Town Hall meeting focused on the Minutemen, and he reiterated his opposition to what he sees as amateurs coming down here to 'help' the Border Patrol.
After the meeting, he said he loves getting out to talk with us and appreciates the help the locals are giving his agents. It just scares him to death to have a third unknown element introduced into the mix down here. We're all going to need to walk on eggshells for awhile...
Some good points. It is time to close the damn border!
...when their's blood (yours and mine) running in the streets after we endure M.Law?
And the KongressKritters are still Willfully Derelict in the Performance of their Sworn Duties.
There are those on this forum that will insist that deploying the NG for such duty violates the Posse Comitatus Act, but they're either ignorant or lying. (If the former, hopefully they learned their lesson yesterday).
