Outmanned and outgunned, local law enforcement officers are alarmed by the drug and human trafficking, prostitution, kidnapping and money laundering that Mexican drug cartels are conducting in the U.S. far from the border.

U.S. sheriffs say that securing the border is a growing concern to law enforcement agencies throughout the country, not just those near the U.S.-Mexico boundary.

Is this part of what we proudly proclaimed as “compassionate conservatism?”

All they want to do is earn their way up here to work at McDonald's and Burger King...

The other day I saw a sign posted in a local fast-food eatery to the effect that "Employees work with us to provide information to E-Verify" or something like that. This place and another one down the street not too long ago replaced a lot of workers who were apparently foreign nationals with American workers. If the franchise owner felt also compelled to post a sign on the premises, I find that interesting. I'll have a closer look at it later this week.

But hey, we had to have porous borders for cheap labor and Demonrat voters

E-Verify is a joke...

It’s like having voluntary taxes..

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of criminal employers count their profits on the backs of tax payers who totally subsidize their low wage illegal help to the tune of hundreds of billions every year.

We only expect the feds to do *one* thing ...

[morphing libertarian]

Arm the cartels?

Mexican cartels armed through Eric the Red Holder's Fast & Furious fiasco.
Well past time that the racist commie idiot Holder be impeached.
