We need to close all our consulates and bring all the U.S. citizens back to the U.S. Then shut down the friggin border - if necessary by putting a member of the armed military every 50 feet and let no one cross again. Then start a sweep for illegals on the northern border and send them and all their drugs back across the border. Just how long do we have to put up with the stupidity of our own government.
The economic disruption for Mexico would be so severe they would be forced to destroy the cartels. When Mexico was slow to respond to Nixon he ordered every inbound vehicle at border crossings stopped and searched. This got Mexico's attention real fast.
Agree completely, Grams A.
Why in hell is the State Dept. still allowing students and other Americans to go to Mexico for Spring break? Why are dumb American parents allowing their kids to go there? Why are dumb American citizens continuing to cross the border into Mexico every day?
Gov. Perry (R-TX) has asked for more National Guard assistance to support the Border Patrol’s pathetic efforts on the Texas border to stem the tide of illegal aliens and drugs. As far as I know, the Obama administration hasn’t even given him a response. He did use the Texas Rangers a couple of years ago to help the Border Patrol (Operation Backup).
Targeting and killing American State Dept. personnel in Mexico should trigger rapid response talks with the Mexican government that would permit US military into the country to wipe out the drug cartels. The Mexican government obviously can’t handle the situation because so many police and military personnel are being paid by the cartels.
I’m all for closing the borders for a time and declaring a free fire zone where our guys can eliminate anyone who enters. The PC crowd has handcuffed our Border Patrol agents with restrictions and made them targets of the criminals. ....I don’t give a damn about the impact on the commerce of various goods, fruits and vegetables between the countries via trucking; I’m more concerned about the drugs, guns, gangs and other illegal aliens who have significantly increased the crime rates in the US.
Rant over, but it felt good to get it out. ......octex
