Mexican border crisis: the barbarians are at the gate

In 2006, I conducted a three-part interview with former US Border Patrol Supervisor David J Stoddard. For 27 years, David served in Calexico, California, Vermont, Yuma, Tucson Sector Headquarters and Naco, Arizona and worked in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and other locations. He also provided testimony about immigration reform to Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner's (R-WI) House Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims in 1999 and a Congressional subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources in 2002.

With the current US-Mexico border crisis — including an actual ongoing war on our southern border — I thought it was time to again call on David's indispensable knowledge and experience.

That is a dynamite article.

There is absolutely no desire to stop the drug trafficking and the human smuggling. Obama and Napolitano have a vested interest in satisfying the ethnic identity groups that helped put them in power. The National Council of La Raza, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center, League of United Latin American Citizens, ACORN and other cults of perpetual victimhood have rolled out tens of thousands of votes for the Democrats, and Obama and his minions are paying back those groups.

Those groups are the real racists. Their premise is that because of ethnic identity, their constituents cannot compete on a level playing field of hard work, education and staying out of trouble. Those groups believe that those constituents are too handicapped to be successes in society because of their ethnicity; therefore they must have special privileges and rights to compete with those who do work hard, get an education and stay out of trouble. So the Obama Administration won't do anything to secure our borders so members of those ethnic identity groups can continue to recruit, get funds and demand special privileges while delivering votes for the socialist members of our government. If the borders were secured against illegal aliens, automatically the drug trafficking routes would be shut off. So Obama and Napolitano will simply put window dressing on the issue while trying to appear like they are actually trying to cure the problem.

Those groups are the real racists.

Come on - these are upstanding citizens.

The only way we’re ever going to rid ourselves and our nation of these disease-carrying criminals and welfare cheats is if actual Americans stand up and defend the border. The defense of our homes and property—that has been the purpose of citizen militias for centuries.

The United States today is like Helm’s Deep after the orcs blew the hole in the wall.

He was right: Liberty or Death.

Same choice now. - I’m waiting for those men to stand up and be counted - with me at their side

There are no gun shops in the United States where you can buy an AK-47 with a selector switch. You cannot buy hand grenades, fully automatic weapons, high explosives or Rocket Propelled Grenades. The Mexican Cartels are using all of those. The cartels are getting those weapons from corrupt members of the Mexican Government which has obtained them from the USA, and from other sources in Central and South America. It is a huge lie that 90% of the cartel weapons are supplied by straw purchasers in the USA.

This cannot be repeated often enough.

“Obama and Napolitano have a vested interest in satisfying the ethnic identity groups that helped put them in power.”

Like there was ever a doubt.
