Mexico is Forming its Own Border Patrol
Posted Wednesday, May 7th 2014 @ 11am Mexico, which more and more finds itself being victimized by illegal immigrations, is in the process of setting up its own Border Patrol, 1200 WOAI news reports.
U.S. Rep Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo), who is working with the Mexican government in the effort, tells 1200 WOAI news that it is a sign of the reality now facing Mexico. For years, Mexico relied on emigration to deal with a demographic imbalance caused by the Mexican Baby Boom of the sixties and seventies. But now that Mexico's birth rate has stabilized, and it's economy is improving, Mexico more and more finds itself victimized by illegal immigrants, both those who want to remain in Mexico, and those who transit through Mexico en route to the U.S.
"A lot of people coming in are not Mexicans, they are from Central America and South America," Cuellar said. "On Mexico's border with Guatemala it is like a UN in many ways."
The Border Patrol reports that in the past year the patterns of illegal immigration into the U.S. have changed dramatically, with people known as 'Other Than Mexicans,' who used to make up a small fraction of illegal entrants, now making up more than half of the total population.
Cuellar says plans are for Mexico to deploy it's new Border Patrol on its northern border as well. It would interdict cash and weapons flowing from the U.S. bound for the drug cartels, and would also help stop people trying to sneak from Mexico into the U.S.
"If we coordinate with them, I think we will do a much better job of securing our common border so drugs and undocumented immigrants don't pass into the United States," he said.
Cuellar says Mexico has generally relied on its Army to provide security on it's southern border, with mixed results. Mexico has seldom had a major presence on it's border with the U.S.
He hopes the U.S. will help fund creation of the Mexican border patrol, because having a robust force would be in the best interests of the United States.
With all the crimes by our US government is engaging in, the immigration discussion is ridiculous.
I applaud Cuellar's efforts anyway. That is the right way to do things.
I thought this was going to detail efforts to assist them on entering into the US.
Interesting...
So to form Mexico's own Border Patrol they need money from us??? Words fail...
Seems like every time we end up giving Mexico money for some kind of police or military, they end up as cartel enforcers.
Reminded me of this:
‘Chinese police to help patrol Paris streets’

After all, we are the world's model for effectively controlling borders!
Yeh the Mexican Border Patrol will prolly escort all the Central and South Americans directly to our border for easier access. :-)
Tax collectors for boarder crossing.
Maybe they’ll patrol the northern border of California, Nevada, Utah......
Or just build an express lane.
That’s what I was thinking. If we have the money to give Mexico for border enforcement why don’t we just use it for our own border enforcement.

Hey the drug business is expensive. Why should you spend your own money when idiots are just handing it to you?
The article somewhat admits what has been a simple fact all along - Mexico’s elitist socialist rulers have simply outsourced to the USA their social-welfare spending for their lowest, least-educated classes, by encouraging them to go to the USA.
One of the things I noticed in a story about the missing girls in Nigeria is that some of the protesters were carrying signs calling for the government to seal the border.
*laugh!* Now THERE’S an encouraging thought.
It’ll be interesting to watch Mexico’s dysfunctional government attempt a border patrol agency. Maybe now there can be serious efforts to build a wall.
Actually we might be most effective if we paid them to build a real wall on their side of the border. It would probably be cheaper and they can tell the EPA and unions to “stuff it”.
The central americans are just passing through, meheeeco is not their destination. And any border patrol on their northern border would be to keep their compatriots from returning….
Heck, just have Moose-shell not take a couple more of her taxpayer-funded vacations and that would pay for more border enforcement. Of course, allowing our BP agents to actually do their jobs and have backup when needed would also go a long ways to help the problems we have.
