WASHINGTON - Three Mexican police chiefs have requested political asylum in the U.S. as violence escalates in the Mexican drug wars and spills across the U.S. border, a top Homeland Security official told The Associated Press.
In the past few months, the police officials have shown up at the U.S. border, fearing for their lives, according to Jayson Ahern, the deputy commissioner of Customs and Border Protection.
"They're basically abandoned by their police officers or police departments in many cases," Ahern told AP.
Ahern said the Mexican officials — whom he didn't name — are being interviewed and their cases are under review for possible asylum.
In the most recent high-level assassination, a top-ranking official on a local Mexican police force was shot more than 50 times and killed. Drug-related violence killed more than 2,500 people last year alone in Mexico.

Pretty soon all illegal aliens will be seeking political asylum if these former police chiefs are allowed to stay.
clone “blackjack” Pershing now!!
“Violence in Mexico spills across US border”
Savagery generated in fundamentally corrupt, lawless, third-world hellhole spills across into civilized country, paragon of western civilisation development.
If you ask me, it’s disgraceful that we don’t militarize that border, with orders to shoot back with overwhelming firepower when fired upon, and even make incursions into Mexico to chase down and eliminate some of the SOBs.
Why don’t Mexicans fix Mexico?
This is about 15 miles from my home.. comforting thought...
BUT THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. Mexico has "reasonable restrictions" (ie a near total ban) on civilian gun ownership. Jackass Schumer, Jackass Obama, Jackass Feinstein, Jackass Boxer, Jackass Kennedy, etc. have all been telling us that they vote for gun control to make us safer. If they weren't lying then Mexico would be one of the safest countries. Hmm I wonder what went wrong.
I KNOW!!! They "Just didn't go far enough.*" A total ban isn't far enough. or maybe "It's the ready availability of guns in the USA.**" Yep that's the ticket.
* A frequent bray from gun controlles when backed into a corner with facts about the failure of their idiotic civilian disarmement schemes
** I think moron Fenty, Mare of Wash DC blamed the ready availability of guns in VA (with a violent crim rate of about 1/6th that of DC) for the violence in DC.
“Why don’t Mexicans fix Mexico?”
Because those who ARE in a position to actually do something about this mess, either are benefitting from the present situation, or they are in mortal fear of the consequences if they try.
There is not a lot of personal courage among the ruling class in Mexico, and they do not have to be particularly responsive to the underclass. The underclass can always be persuaded to flee to the United States and live off our largesse.
Time we entered the country and instituted a “regime change” on the order of what was done in Iraq and Afghanistan. And since Mexico is much closer, it would be much simpler just to annex the entire country, and run it as a US territory.
Worked with Hawaii. THAT was an independent country at one time.
As was Texas, and the “Bear Flag Republic” of California.
“And Mexico is the country that La Raza or Aztlan wants to join?”
I doubt that LaRaza has any great love for Mexico or Hispanic culture in general. They are driven by disdain of the gringo, specifically the undeniable ascendency and superiority of white-man driven western civilisation.
A better strategy would be to emulate rather than attack, but that requires work, and lacks the reassuring comfort of hatred.
“Three Mexican police chiefs have requested political asylum in the U.S.”
Nice of them to ask first before just coming in.
More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says
When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.
Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.
Wanted for Murder in New York City.
Chicago wanted for Murder
Philadelphia wanted for murder
San Francisco wanted for Murder
New Orleans wanted for Murder
Pictures of suspects wanted for murder in Washington DC
FBI USA 10 most wanted. (two of 10 are Mexican nationals) Around 40% of the FBI's wanted for murder are Mexican Nationals
There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. He said further that most of illegals in the federal prisons were in for drug related charges. Most of the illegals in jail for murder were in the state prisons. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.
Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.
Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs
Reported Foreign Nationals on Death Row in the U.S.

All that said the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts.DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. If you check the links you'll notice that its McCain who cites Chertoff. See also here and here Here is more info from Judicial Watch.
However the number of illegals on death row is far lower.
Actually this is what they are already doing to us and we don't like it. Invading other nations to "straighten them out" doesn't seem very conservative to me.
If it hadn’t been for the Army Of The West liberating the Southwest, those same police chiefs would be climbing the Rockies to get out of Mexico. Let’s keep the Southwest liberated.
The drug cartels have more resources than the Mexican government.
They are a little like the middle east jihadist except their gods are drugs & money.
Wouldn't it be a surprise if the same enemies that are lined up against us around the world are also tied to the narco terrorists?
He will use the army against the Cartels like Mussolini crushed the Mafia in Sicily. You will see mass migrations of Mexicans into the US trying to avoid the fighting. It will be far worse than today.
Sections of the US border region will resemble southern Lebanon with refugee camps like the Palestinians have now. The US will be forced to deploy the military to the border to quell the disorder and only then will we have effective border control.
“I agree that envy drives the motives of most - if not almost all - of those who support La Raza or Aztlan, but so does pride. Supporters of these causes would rather wallow in their own lack of development than emulate the hated gringo.”
Well then perhaps a history lesson is in order then.
After all, their ancestors, at least the Spanish ones, were at one time a large contributor to the success and traditions of Western Civ.
It only a matter of time before they start using IEDs on our Border Patrol Agents, I have been predicting it for a year now.
LOL Just start a guest-worker program and train and equip them to occupy Mexico. 3/4th of the Mexican military would join up as they pay would quadruple.
The scary part is that it would probably work.
Just for the record (and any misunderstanding), Texas was never *occupied* by US forces nor, was it involuntarily annexed.
“either are benefiting from the present situation, or they are in mortal fear of the consequences if they try.”
Same problem on this side of the border.
