Bush urged to block Mexican military Agents cite rash of incursions

The U.S. Border Patrol's largest union local has asked President Bush to put an end to the scores of Mexican military incursions into the United States that have put Border Patrol agents at risk of being injured or killed. "It is disgraceful that Border Patrol agents are put in harm's way and our government doesn't do everything reasonably within its power to protect us from marauding Mexican soldiers and others," said Edward "Bud" Tuffly II, head of Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) in Tucson. "Without a forceful response to these illegal incursions, an agent will eventually be seriously wounded or killed. It is only a matter of time," Mr. Tuffly said. "The incursions will not stop until the Mexican military units and their commanders are held accountable for their actions." In a letter Saturday to Mr. Bush, Mr. Tuffly asked the president to "take a strong stand against" Mexican military incursions.

I’m having a hard time understanding why any soldier of any foreign country setting foot inside the USA uninvited is not an egregious act of war...

[DonaldC]

That the president needs to be urged about this is truly disturbing.

[villagerjoel]

Absolutely appalling.

the United States of America is quickly becoming an international zone based on corporate interests which is willing to bend and fold to anyone and everyone who holds an interest in financial matters on our soil

[ConservativeMind]

Why are Mexican military personnel coming into the US, anyway?

[Lurker]

There should already be standing orders to destroy in place any unit of the Mexican army found uninvited on American soil.

They're facilitating human and drug smuggling.

Three words: North American Union. Michael Medved told me not to worry about it.

“Why are Mexican military personnel coming into the US, anyway?”

Because they can. Si, Si puede...

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

Friendliness with Mexico is at the core of Bush’s being.

[djsherin]

North American Union?
The Amero?
New World Order?

This has been one of Bush’s most disappointing aspects. We want the borders enforced and we DON’T want the Mexican military, druglords, or illegal immigrants crossing it with ease.

[tumblindice]

“In a letter Saturday to Mr. Bush...”

By now, a TPS cover sheet has been attached to it, several copies made and all carefully filed away in the round file.

[djsherin]

My government teacher in 12th grade said he wouldn’t be surprised if in our lifetime Mexico and the US (possibly Canada) merged. I don’t know if he WANTED it but it was still scary to think about.

[AuntB]

And we wonder why...

Bargain basement USA! It’s all for sale.

Because the invader is Mexico; the invaded is the United States; we mustn't do anything to impede the creation of the North American Union; and the man charged with defending our sovereignty is Bush.

Any more questions?

[GWMcClintock]

I’m sure our president will respond to this just as soon as he releases our two border patrol guards in solitary comfinement. /s

[djsherin]

How dare you criticize our president!
Bush: The right man for the right time!

What a disappointment he has been. What happened to the Republican Party that actually stood for American and conservative values?

[Travis McGee]

Check out article 4 section 4 of the Constitution. THe president SWORE to defend our borders.....and he’s not.

[E. Cartman]

Three words: North American Union. Michael Medved told me not to worry about it.

But, Mike Medved has "an encyclopedic mind." (At least that's what he used to say when I could still stand to listen to him.)

(When I learned that Medved was pro-amnesty, I realized he wasn't a conservative and stopped listening to him.)

[farmer18th]

This is going to sound very unsparing, but Medved is the sort of Jew who would be trying to calm everyone down with the notion that the S.S. just meant extra security—right up to the time they knocked on—and then down—his door. He’s a fool.

[wolfcreek]

WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS TIME AND TIME AGAIN, FOLKS.

Don't expect things to change with a new Admin. This isn't just about the Bush family.

The corporate giants and other elitists at the Council on Foreign Relations want open borders and cheap labor. They usually get what they want.

[Luke21]

McCain is a CFR member. If/when he wins, our sovereignty still goes down the commode. But it’s good to see a thread that isn’t dedicated to Bush and McCain worship. Makes for a nice change.

[wolfcreek]

Michelle Obama is on the Board of Directors in the Chicago branch of CFR.

It’s interesting how these Pols, when directly asked about the NAU or CFR, can smile and lie through their teeth.

[E. Cartman]

Ooh. You are harsh though I can't disagree with you.

Medved, like so many other bien-pensants, has been breathing rarefied air for so long that he's lost touch with reality: he's become unaware of the contingencies that always knock down the castles in the air he and others of "the best and the brightest" like to construct.

[wolfcreek]

Here another not so worshipy thread.

Yes, but won't you feel a whole better just knowing that it's a Republican surrendering US sovereignty?

[newenglandredneck]

This is a blatant act of war on the part of Mexico. I’d say about 250,000 ground troops backed by 1000 main battle tanks would crush the entire Mexican army. Then we could set aside the three border provinces of Baja California, Chiuauiah and Sonora as a buffer zone manned by U.S. troops to prevent illegal immigration.

[tumblindice]

I’m looking forward to becoming an even bigger conservative crank over the next four years, regardless of what happens in November.
I’ve been keeping the house nice and dark at night, and yelling at kids and dogs to get out of my yard during the day.
I like to go to the closed blinds, when I see people walking by, and crack them so they can just see my eyes.
I’ve been storing up Ball jars to pee in and I’ve got lots of empty kleenex boxes for `shoes’ so I can go out to the mailbox for my Outdoor Life/Field and Stream.
And I expect to spend a lot of time clinging to my firearms, cleaning them constantly (when I’m not at the range) and I’ll need a lot more ammo; I’ll step out the back door as often as possible and fire my shotgun into the air late at night.
And my Bible. I plan to paint scriptures on the sides of my car. I expect the kids down at the university quad could use some preaching as well.
The children and dogs will pass my house just a little more quickly. There won’t be any moss growing on these dice, that’s for sure....

[marron]

I thought a couple of BP guys had been killed already by uniformed Mexican military. Am I mistaken?

[BlazingArizona]

First, we need to catch some of them doing it and film some dead-to-rights evidence. Since our government doesn't seem to care about the issue, the Minutemen (for example) could take this on as a side project.

[ViLaLuz]

“Why are Mexican military personnel coming into the US, anyway?”

Drug trafficking.

Your concept has merit.

[farmer18th]

I agree, but, to be fair, GWB, John McCaine, and Barack Obama have all told me not to worry about it. For principled people, have politics become a charade?

[cripplecreek]

This must be a good thread. Removed posts and all. LOL

[cripplecreek]

LOL Dude you ain’t right.

“The incursions will not stop until the Mexican military units and their commanders are held accountable for their actions.”

ALL we need is a Romulan response.

Because there's a whole rickety house of cards built up around a criminal conspiracy to maintain cheap labor to keep the economy lumbering along.

Cut out the slave labor and a lot of companies that have set themselves up to exploit this criminal behavior will fold and there goes their contribution to the tax base as well as kickbacks and payoffs to state politicians, the congress and higher level politicians.

We're a nation betrayed by an organized crime syndicate at all levels. The FedGov won't respond for fear of losing access to the underpaid peons that's keeping us afloat.

(Disney character Goofy voice) "Uh, to pick lettuce?"

[television is just wrong]

The Mexican nation believes the U.S. is the Northern Frontier. Not an occupied nation of laws.

[ZULU]

And WHAT exactly do the politicians in WASHINGTON who ignore this believe?????

[ZULU]

Well, maybe ROBOTEDDY ROOSEVELT

[Razz Barry]

In a letter Saturday to Mr. Bush, Mr. Tuffly asked the president to "take a strong stand against" Mexican military incursions. He said Mexican soldiers have made hundreds of incursions into the United States and that some of them resulted in agents coming under gunfire and being detained at gunpoint.

Why doesn't Russia go ahead and invade us. By the time a "letter" is sent and responded to by DC, we'd all be speaking Russian.
