Let's see, Mexican troops on our soil is an act of war. Mexican police would be considered armed irregulars, with no rights whatsoever and subject to summary execution.

If it were me, and I just happened to be ex-military, police, or whatever, and also owned land along the border, I would go out shooting one day like I was trying to kill smugglers, take a highly visible path back to my home well inside the border, then wait with a few well chosen buddies. Then when the federales show up, smoke 'em.

That ought to make the national news.

This is just another example of how inept our Government is when it comes to them doing their Constitutional mandated job...

There a a few civilian groups out there patrolling the border as well...

But what do they get from ALL sides when they make statements and or detain illegal border crossers???

Grief, labeled as racist, they get investigated by our government for any little thing they can find or make up...

All because they would really prefer the government to do its job, and what they are doing is illustrating that deficiency...

Whether the story is credible or not...That is far from my point, and not meant to disparage the originator...

But what it (story) does "is" illustrate a serious problem that needs attention, other than lip service...

The risks of inaction, far outward the diatribe and traditional hand ringing done when things like this get discussed here...

If there was a solution...The normal letter/calling/emailing your elected officials may get a cursory glance by the same...Beyond that is anyones guess as to how effective our collective outrage at even the slightest risk this poses to our country and our border States...

I am sure most of us have the ear of some official at some level of our "system"...Pulsing them enough may generate a wave of uphill proportions that may create some reaction or discussion (or even "GASP!", a solution) at the appropriate level...

I'm all for the aggressive stances some tout here...But I am sure all realize the downside to that...

So the proverbial question always is...

"What are you prepared to do, or sacrifice, to prove your point?"

The people living down there on the border see the problem everyday...It governs their lives...It governs their actions...Some welcome those of us who feel the way we do, and some reject us whole-heartedly, and laugh at our agenda...

So how do you stop the problem??? Find out what drives it all in the first place...

Money (who's making the cash?)

Drugs (the flow is one way...North)

Profit (Zot the big fish in the chain, and someone may come in behind them...)

Power (A government(s) who does not see a way to intercede and absorb or control the above mentioned bullet points, will not take action...It gives them nothing of those things...)
