The Cartels are beginning to control swaths of territory on the Mexican side of the border, and have infiltrated govt. on the US side as well as on the Mexican side. The border is not controlled by any side. It is being openly contested now, and the cartels are using larger forces in predations (twelve truckloads of armed attackers the other day in Mexico). Thank God for AZ, hope Texas follows. That should increase pressure on N Mex to handle increased pressure from the South that will be channelled there soon. The biggie is Texas. It is interesting that the Border Patrol has been preventing from setting foot in lands along the border “controlled, but not patrolled” by the Dept of the Interior and Agriculture...do the cartels operate there with impunity?
Recently, Obama directed a significant part of the NASA budget for climate data collection. Could the predator missions over the US/Mexican border be directed to gather some more warm temperature data instead of border, immigration control duties? No one really knows what the data assignment is or what will be done with the info. As for “drone bees”, sounds like RandD to me.
Good questions, good points to ponder.
My own suspicion is the drones are the basis for early warning to the cartels by those Politicians and subordinates within our government that are paid off by the cartels. I don’t know this, but I believe much of the woes we suffer at the hand of the Leftist criminals in power today are due to the power of the criminal drug hustling society.
You got it man. The narcos smelled weakness from the U.S.
So they went for it.
The frenzied screaming, the wailing and gnashing of teeth....is probably organized and managed by them. See if they can intimidate the Gringos into backing down. Because this is the first time anyone has shown any resistance in YEARS.
Remember that when you see the "civil rights" demonstrators in Phoenix: that shady guy over in the corner works for the narcos....and he's pushing everyone to do something.
Because he want's us to back down, so they can control the "border", not us.
It's a real live war. People don't get that.
What I’m worried about .. I live 11 miles from the border (in San Diego), and if Arizona scares the illegals out of there, guess where they’re gonna move .. CA.
I hope our police depts are ready.
I'll bet he's searching for a way to stop the boarder fence. It'll be referred to as "environmentally unfriendly."
