Why within 1/2 mile? They should be living IN their houses, eating their food and doing what the want with their families. This is what they propose for our house, the United States of America. What, they only want that for us, not for them in, their gated communities?
When we allowed our government to be taken over by a professional political elite, we lost the entire concept of government by, for, and of the People.

Kennedy, Algore, Edwards, the War Hero and Klintoons could put them up at their compounds don’t cha think??
Only death and mayhem in Iraq are reported because it will undermind the GOP. Same reports on Mexico will undermind Chamber of Commerce (funds GOP and DNC) economic interests, the the MSM (owned by corporate America) puts a lid on it so the borders will be open and supply of illegal cheap labor is flowing.
Mexico shouldn't worry too much about these killers, when the police get too close to them they'll just "immigrate" to America through some sewer system and come up to recieve instant legal status and gummint bennies. Then they can kill gringos instead of Mexicans. Jorge Bush's illegal alien debacle makes Jimmy Carter's 'Mariel Boat People' fiasco look insignificant.

There was another story about Wednesday's events in yesterday's paper.
PS Bush Swallows.
Cheers!
Maybe this is what the story is about.
Police commander killed as Mexican authorities continue manhunt
MEXICO CITY – A police commander was shot to death in the Sonora state capital as hundreds of police and soldiers intensified their manhunt Friday for suspected cartel gunmen who killed five officers near the border with Arizona, authorities said.
It was unclear if the killing was related to the clash between state police and as many as 50 Gulf cartel gunmen in Arizpe, about 70 miles southeast of Nogales.
At least 17 of the gunmen were killed when state police fired at their vehicles from a helicopter as they tried to escape into the hills on Wednesday. Earlier that day, the gunmen killed five police officers in the nearby town of Cananea, just 30 miles from the U.S. border, after traveling there in as many as 15 vehicles.
Rumors early Friday that the gunmen planned a new attack on Cananea, a mining town of 30,000, caused schools and businesses to close, along with the evacuation of City Hall. Fears spread to nearby communities, but police said there was no evidence that an attack was imminent.
Cananea is a key point along drug trafficking routes to the U.S., analysts and officials have said, and is part of a turf war between the Gulf cartel based along the Mexico-Texas border and the Sinaloa cartel based on the Pacific Coast south of Sonora.

Just family values that don't stop at the Rio Grande.
See if AMERICANS take up arms to defend themselves from the hordes coming across our borders THEN the government will arm the troops and give them free reign to hunt down and arrest those same Americans.
Why the illegal Mexicans get a free pass from the Demoncrats and the TRAITOROUS Republicans completely escapes me.
Just who the hell's side are they on anyways? It sure isn't ours.
I am 30 min from Edwards compound. He can put them in his house and wouldn't bump into them for a year or two. maybe he can learn some more about poverty this way. Minus the $480,000 he 'earned' studying poverty for a few months.
That can't be true, Mexico has very strict gun control laws. If a nation passes strict gun laws no criminals or drug dealers can have guns, it's against the law you see. Everybody knows that don't they?.
Coming to the USA starring the original cast thanks to Jorge Bush, co-president of Mexico.
guns are illegal in mexico!
(/s)
Heaven forbid that our National Guard actually guard our borders if more than 10 or 20 mexicans are heading to invade. After all, we sure do not want to confront any type of invasion.
Get out of Irag Mr. PreZ(visa), and put the troops on the border. Do something right!
Fort Huachuca soldiers told to stay out of Mexico after attacks
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — The Army’s top officer in southern Arizona on Friday ordered soldiers at Fort Huachuca not to travel into Mexico because of recent drug-related violence across the border.
Maj. Gen. Barbara Fast, commander of the Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca, issued the order after a drug cartel assault force overran the town of Cananea on Wednesday.
The attackers killed seven people, including five police officers, before police and army troops hunted down and killed 16 of the assailants in ensuing mountain gunbattles.
“In view of the recent increase in drug-related violence just across the Mexican border near the towns of Cananea and Naco, until further notice, I am directing that all military personnel and strongly advising all Department of the Army civilian personnel and their families to restrict their travel by avoiding the border towns of Mexico,” Fast’s order said.
“If you or your families are traveling near the border on the U.S. side, please use caution.”
Maj. Matt Garner, the fort’s chief spokesman, said standard operating procedure calls for anyone planning to travel in Mexico to get a briefing beforehand from the chain of command, which he said provides “a heightened sense of security.”
But Garner said the Army does not track how many personnel from the fort normally go across the border on a given weekend.
