Again, the quote is about equipment and a context quote about narcotics.
It looks to me that the reporter (who wrote such an important story that it ended up on page 16A of the Laredo paper) may have creatively paraphrased the chief, as there is no direct quote.
BP eyes terrorism, area chief declares [not illegal immigrants or narcotics]

Carrillo also said the same thing at a town hall meeting in Zapata, Texas on the Aug. 7th per Linda Vickers with the TBV.
“Yep, that is what he said in Zapata. We attended a community Border Patrol meeting for the area (which is in the Laredo sector)on August the 7th.
We(Mike and I) thought it a very strange comment to make. And needless to say,it was upsetting.
He (Carrillo) also had the nerve to tell a women that we should be sleeping better in our homes because of the increase in BP agents for that area.
Bunch of Bravo Sierra is what it is.
I begged to differ with Carrillo as did Sheriff Sigi Gonzalez.
Wonder what our govt is up to now?

Poor reporting perhaps, but it's given credence when it's exactly in line with the known positions of Bush and Chertoff. Chertoff has stated that he didn't want to be chasing illegal gardeners and maids.
If Carlos wants to pretend to work for the TV show 24's Counter Terrorist Unit "CTU" and their only concern is with terrorists that's fine, but the job of the Border Patrol is to patrol the border stopping everything not approved from coming into the United States.
I though Carrillo’s real message was:
“I heard the Johnny Sutton message loud and clear.”
The guy just doesn’t want to join Ramos and Compean in prison.
Ramos and Compean vs Sutton. Two patriotic latinos and one corrupt white.
If a city fire chief refused to put out fires, what would we do?
Absolutely correct. Everyone DOES know this. And I must commend you for your following insights, though...they are extremely keen:
However, I made a Chertoffian error by replacing my usual comments about "resources" and adopted a Rovian, mock-macho, false distraction "talking point." Chertoff did the same thing and look what happened to him after he started talking up "comprehensive reform" - he aged 10 years. I'm sorry, I won't make that slip again.
LOL!
Grounds for impeachment...and all the way up the food chain.
Oh. OK.
So RIGHT NOW, he claiming that interdicting illegal aliens IS NOT funded nor desired nor a mission.
I see. So his agency is actually doing exactly what it is funded to do: not stop illegal aliens from entering. OK.
Right On Target!
“Ethnicity should have nothing to do with whether they perform their duties or not. We have plenty of White politicians that aren’t doing theirs.”
I agree but it is troubling when a Latino is promoting open borders when he is hired to protect our borders. Unfortunately there are a large number of Latinos that are pro illegal immigration and I think Carrillo falls into that category.
You beat me to it,this jerk should be gone!!!!!
Do we need any more evidence that Bush is a Globalist?
No.
Bush Trying to Revive Law of Sea Treaty
Human Events, May 21, 2007 by Schlafly, Phyllis
Time to Deep-Six UN Pact Reagan Rejected
Borrowing the famous words of Gen. Douglas MacArthur that "old soldiers never die, they just fade -away." we can now see that old treaties never die, they can be resurrected years or even decades after taking what we thought was a knockout punch.
Aggressive Lobbying
President George W. Bush is scheduled to announce any day that he will breathe new life into the old United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which President Ronald Reagan rejected in 1982. Bush's National security Adviser Stephen Hadley has asked Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden (D.Del.) to secure Senate ratification "as early as possible." To defuse expected opposition, the Bush Administration has been pursuing a most unusual lobbying campaign: inviting two or three prominent conservatives at a time to the White House without telling them in advance the purpose of the invitation or who will be present. After admission past executive office barricades, the conservatives are subjected to aggressive lobbying by administration heavy hitters: usually the chief counsel for the State Department and the judge advocate general of the U.S. Navy.
The 202-page Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) entered into force in 1994 and has been ratified by 153 countries. LOST created the International Seabed Authority (ISA), giving it total jurisdiction over all the oceans and everything tn them, including the ocean floor with "all" its riches ("solid, liquid or gaseous mineral resources"), along with the power to regulate seventenths of the world's surface.
Headquartered in Jamaica, the ISA has an assembly, a council, a bureaucracy and commissions, all drawing tax-free salaries. If the United States ratifies the treaty, we would have the same vote in the ISA as Cuba-an unprecedented surrender of American sovereignty, independence of action and wealth.
Real Purpose Behind LOST
Even worse, LOST gives the ISA the power to levy international taxes. We are not fooled by LOST's attempt to conceal this by labeling the taxes assessments, fees, permits, payments or contributions.
The real purpose of the taxing power is to compel the United States to pay billions of private-enterprise dollars to the ISA bureaucrats, who can then transfer our wealth to Socialist, anti-American nations (euphemistically called "developing countries") ruled by corrupt dictators. LOST piously asserts that this is for "the benefit of mankind as a whole."
The treaty gives the ISA the power to regulate "all" ocean research and exploration and to deny access to strategic ocean minerals, many of which we need for our national defense or industries. LOST also gives the ISA the power to impose production quotas for deep-sea mining and oil production.
The ISA can require us to share our intelligence, technology and even military information. The treaty puts restrictions on intelligence-gathering by our submarines, activities that are essential to our national defense.
LOST also created the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, with the power of a super supreme court to decide all disputes and enforce its judgments. Of course, there is no guarantee that the United States would have even one judge on this 21 -member international court, and it's reasonable to assume inherent bias against the United States by the anti-American countries whose representatives will make all decisions.
There can be no appeal from this tribunal's decisions, even though they would affect our sovereignty, national security and economic interests. There is no restriction on the tribunal's jurisdiction. "
Administration lobbyists claim that the original problems with LOST have been fixed. That is not believable, because the text of the treaty can't be changed unilaterally.
Bush apparently expects conservatives to be mollified by the argument that the Navy supports LOST. But conservatives are smart enough to know that it's impossible for the Navy to oppose the Commander in Chief's position.
The notion that our great U.S. Navy needs approval from foreign bureaucrats in Jamaica in order to enjoy passage through international straits or for permission to do what our Navy is already doing (such as moving our ships to the waters near Iran) is offensive and insulting to U.S. sovereignty.
It's not only dangerous to our national security for the administration to promote the Law of the Sea Treaty, it is a stupid political move that will diminish the shrinking percentage of conservatives who still support Bush. Now a lame duck. Bush is ignoring his supporters and instead pushing the agenda of the globalists who are determined to erase our sovereign borders and integrate us into various multinational structures and tribunals.
Mrs. Schlafly is founder and president of the Eagle Forum and author of The Supremacists.
The COVERT and DECEPTIVE practices used to push the LOST passage by Bush, along with the same tactics for his AMNESTY and the SPP/NAU Open and Unsecure Border along with his trade policies make this clear.
He is not really a "U.S." President. He is a Globalist CFR henchman who has snuck into the Office under false pretenses, and regards the "Oathe of Office" as a mere scrap of paper whose meaning is relative and under the control of the office-holder.
If he was a legitimate, authentic patriot, as a President...he would not be so dedicated to accomplishing these legislative objectives by the fraudulent and secret means he has ultimately chosen.
Fire this clown.
