We are bordering on madness

Two nations are threatening American law-enforcement officers who protect this republic's southern border. Mexico is the obvious threat. The other will stun you.
Men dressed as Mexican soldiers have set foot on American soil more than 200 times in the last decade. The Mexican government claims they are impersonators helping drug warlords' shipping into the United States. Whether soldiers or soldiers of fortune, Mexico has done virtually nothing to stop incursions by heavily armed forces in military-style Humvees.
Mexico's inaction surely has helped embolden drug warlords salivating to crack the U.S. market. Hudspeth County, Texas, is just east of El Paso along the Mexican border. The sheriff's department has heard that drug dealers have put bounties as high as $10,000 on the deputies' heads -- and threatened their wives and children. That would explain the armed guards at the schools their children attend.
What is inexplicable is that the other country targeting our law enforcement border agents is the United States.
Border Patrol agents Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos shot Osvaldo Aldrete Davila, an illegal alien and admitted drug smuggler, in the buttocks in February 2005, according to the El Paso Times. Mr. Davila claims he was not armed. The agents say he was. They did not report the shooting but did report that the van Davila was driving to an El Paso stash house had 700 pounds of marijuana.
The Department of Homeland Security should have sent medals to each agent.
Instead, it sent an investigator from its Office of Inspector General. He concluded that since Davila was escaping back to Mexico, the agents should not have fired. And since they picked up their shell casings, that supposedly made it a cover-up.

Sounds like we need a few fighters flying at tree top level all along the border for a few weeks....remember the "reverse migration" back to Mexico just after 9/11? for a few days??....
Keep your powder dry,FRiend,this is going to be a long war.
Now now, El Presidente has a plan. Mass amnesty.
just a light refresher article on the idiocy we are already well aware of
After all...we could turn the whole border into a gunnery range.....

Not really. He thinks he's building us a "new America".
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.

This is absolute madness. This individual should have his attention diverted from his urethra with a 172 gr. boattail in the thorax.
172 grain? 30-06 or 308?

Just guess where the mexicans came up with the Humvees--that's right--The Good Old USA!!Makes me so proud of MY government!!It makes me so happy,I'm tickled sh#tless that MY Congress would give My hard earned money away.So ,what if they were given to Mexico so they could parole the border to help stop illegal immigrants from crossing---It's our fault We didn't tell 'em they couldn't use 'em for drug smuggling too.Well, you can't blame them can you?
IT's part of their R&R for crying out loud!
I WANT MY MONEY OUT OF GOVERNMENT NOW!!!
Bush Administration is out of control.
