ABC just couldn't bring itself to mention that Laredo and Nuevo Laredo is a war zone with Mexican military and border agents working with drug & human smuggling cartels, murdering anyone that gets into their way while en route to a city near you.

We don't need reform...just someone to enforce the laws that we have now. I thought we had hired someone to take care of that...

I notice W isn't leaving the security of the airport. Apparently, E.D. Hill from FNC wouldn't even venture that close to the city. Did y'all hear her this morning ranting about Laredo and how it was a disgusting shame it was so lawless that you needed to wear Kevlar when visiting? Kudos to her!!!

UISD driver dead: Victim shot outside mother-in-law’s home

By VICENTE RANGEL, SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
06/06/2006

NUEVO LAREDO — A Laredo school bus driver is the latest victim in the Sister City’s continuing crime wave, drawing renewed concerns over the violence that has wracked Nuevo Laredo for two years.Juan de Dios Garcia, 30, had just parked in front of his mother-in-law’s home near the intersection of Tomás F. de la Garza and Piedras Negras streets at about 9 p.m. Sunday when unknown assailants opened fire, killing the man on the spot.

Garcia’s wife, Olivia, was inside the house with the couple’s two children at the time of the attack. They were not injured.

Police said Mrs. Garcia reported that the attackers were in a white compact car that was traveling in the opposite direction from Garcia. The white car stopped, virtually hood to hood with the Envoy, and two or three men jumped out, shooting at Garcia. The attackers then got back in their car and took off.

Garcia was alone in his 2005 Envoy when his killers opened fire. He was shot several times in the head.

State police were sent to the scene after C-4, the city’s emergency headquarters, received word of gunshots in the Colonia Las Torres. Officers arrived to find Garcia slumped over the steering wheel; his Envoy had several bullet holes in the windshield.

Investigators recovered nine 9-mm shell casings as well as 13 .45-caliber casings at the scene.

Garcia worked with the United Independent School District Transportation Department for five years.

“He was a gentleman we could always count on,” said Joe Aranda, UISD director of transportation. “He was a good employee.”

Aranda said Garcia was dependable and committed to his work. He will be sorely missed, he said.

The loss has hit the department doubly hard, Aranda said, because Garcia’s wife also works there.

(LMT Staff Writer Clay Reddick contributed to this report.)

Bush, who opposes deportation of the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants, supports a guest worker program.... is pushing for bigger fines for employers who hire illegal immigrants.

I have two questions. Does this mean that the illegals could stay here, but possibly not have jobs? (That sounds like a problem to me.)
Who is going to enforce these fines when we don't even enforce what we have now?????

Garcia makes some pretty good money for being a bus driver.

Is he still talking Amnesty, virtual walls and social security for illegals who have committed felony document fraud? If so, that would be bad.

Nixon and Jacobs = bankers. They probably fly the Mexican flag alongside the American flag at the bank. It is not unusual in border towns.

Laredo is definitely hostile territory. I do hope the President stays safe.

Why should he be safe when the people who live there are not?

Perhaps you're right. Maybe there will be a terrorist attack while he's there. Would that pep you up a bit?

“I was in the Air Force National Guard seven years,” Jacobs explained.

He had a four-year enlistment, but someone forgot to wake him up.
