Border Patrol fears conflict with Mexican military

Unfortunatly.. I think it's going to take... a Minuteman getting shot by the Mexican Army before anything will happen...

Then.. all hell will probably break loose...

There is a lot of "pent up" public sentiment to get tough with Mexico over this kind of crap..

But, on the other hand.. I can see where getting tough will force the mexican lower class into the arms of left wing radicals.. resulting in someone like Bolivia's pro drug Evo Morales or Venezuela's Chávez..

Personally.. I think it has to happen.. sure we'll end up with an vocal, left wing, anti-American Mexico.. but we can at least go to war against that.. what we have now is an impossible situation to deal with..

I'm still of the opinion the majority of our elected officials and most powerful government leaders are as much involved with the drug cartels and dirty money as were their counterparts during Prohibition.

"Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., head of the House Immigration Reform Caucus, told WorldNetDaily in a 2002 interview he was concerned about a rising number of incursions occurring along the U.S. southwest border."


Here come rivulets of drool from tongue-to-boot crowd...

Tancredo is grandstanding... while the GOP leadership, which does nothing about repeated military incursions across our border, are the good guys.

Inversion at it's finest, and you don't even have to go to DU to read it! Just look on this and many other threads for the Howlin' Dane Conexion!

"if the military of a foriegn power(Mexico) shoots at U.S. government security personnel(Border Patrol),isn't that an act of war by international law?"

It happens on a regular basis.

"It is a corrupt Govt from top to bottom. "

I lost track. Whose are you talking about? :p

"Personally.. I think it has to happen.. sure we'll end up with an vocal, left wing, anti-American Mexico.. "

And that would differ in what way from the one we have now?

"No. We are supporting the pipeline to justify the multi-billion dollar war on drugs."

That's about as ugly as my statement. But as long as we're getting ugly . . . and extending the logic of cause and effect, one could also say that supporting the pipeline could also be used to justify the budgets of homeland security and the patriot act by allowing the terrorists unfettered entry.

I mean, don't we have to let them into the country first before we can 'spy' on them?

What is the phrase that describes the process of political change and burgeoning gummint? I always forget it. You know, the one about causing a problem, implementing a solution, and taxing the people to pay for it?

Naw, we don't want to go there, but the ingredients are there to wonder about.

It's (LONG PAST)time to bring in our Army.

....from 45,000 ft with 5000 lb JDAM bunker-busters? Missouri isn't far away at all for the B2's.......they could fly round the clock for a month with just 6 planes active. With the costs associated with the missions and munitions and rebuilding the destroyed Mexican stuff, it wouldn't be a drop in the bucket compared to what illegal immigration and unsecured borders are / are going to cost the US taxpayer.
