More Americans abducted along Mexico border than in Iraq
LAREDO, Texas This border area is one of the least publicized international crisis zones. More Americans have been kidnapped just in this area than in all of Iraq by Islamic terrorists.
Twenty-six Americans are now officially listed as missing in the Laredo-Nuevo Laredo region of the U.S.-Mexico borderin addition to the more than 400 Mexicans reported to be suffering a similar fate.
The number of American civilians missing or kidnapped in Iraq since the beginning of the war is 23 as of last September, the latest figure released by the State Department.
And then there are the executions.
Unlike Muslim jihadists, enforcers from the feuding Gulf and Sinaloa Mexican drug cartels favor off-camera basement executions and oil-drum burials.
Ive seen these barrels with bodies stuffed into them, said a U.S. law enforcement official, who, like most here, spoke on condition of anonymity. Its horrible, but it is really happening.
First acid is poured in to break up flesh and bone. Then the drum is filled with diesel fuel.
A matchthats all it takes to turn a life into a heap of ashes.
How many of those unaccounted for have already been processed this way? Nobody here knowsor is eager to find out.
The Mexican government has lost control along the border, fumes Rick Flores, the youthful Webb County sheriff.
They had 176 murders in Nuevo Laredo last year, and none of them have been solved. In the first less than six weeks of this year, there were another 27 murders. Again, none solved. At the rate they are going, the death toll will be over 300 by years end.

Intercepted means the load did not get through, at least at that time. In this article since they act like the contents of the duffle bags is a mystery, I would say the smugglers escaped back into Mexico with contraband.
What usually happens later on after (hours or days later) these incidents, likely during a CBP shift change is the load did go through after the officers left the area. Scary thought, but likely the case.
Some loads are caught, ie the contraband is seized. They may or may not be able to arrest smugglers, smugglers may flee back across the border without contraband.
Sometimes they get both smugglers (arrested) and contraband (seized) but these operations can have many outcomes.

This is just wonderful. How much worse does it have to get before our government is forced to do something?

This is sick!
Governors you have the right to call the national guard:
"We have laws in place, thanks to changes we made in the 108th Congress. Title 32, Section 9, U.S. Code now allows our governors to call out their National Guard for homeland security missions such as this at 100 percent Federal expense."
Do it!!
Then built the wall!

More Americans (that's US Citizens, of course) live along the border of Mexico than live in Iraq (at least as of now.)
What's the per-capita rate?

This situation is really getting out of control. I am so sick and tired of the argument that we need illegals for the jobs that Americans won't do. Maybe if our government stopped giving all the lazy a$$es on welfare a free ride and shut down all the public housing projects, we would find lots of Americans to do those jobs.
Also, I am sick and tired of the nutty liberals being able to influence so much of government policy when it is clear they are in the minority. What a bunch of nut-jobs. Has anyone ever noticed how most liberals are mentally ill to some degree? I used to think Savage was just being funny, but it seems that he was correct in this instance.
Why the National Guard has not been called out already to defend our borders continues to be a great mystery to me. And we should build two walls: one on the north and one on the south. Southern wall first though.

Weve had source intelligence that there are possible terrorist cells making their way into Mexico, who want to learn the language and culture and camouflage themselves as Mexicans, said another law enforcement official, who requested anonymity.
Possible my a$$.There ain't no doubt in my mind.

It's no mystery, but the answer is hard for most to accept.
Google search North American Community for the answer.

That is what happened, many believe, to U.S. citizens Yvette Martinez and Brenda Cisneros, who disappeared in Nuevo Laredo in September 2004. When will state governors start calling for a boycott of Mexico as they did Aruba? Why weren't these girls parents on Fox News 24/7?
