Good article, worth the read.

Another reason we need to seriously beef up security along the border.

I'm sure there is a limit to what we should do to secure the border, but I don't think an anti-personnel mine field 700 meters deep (on both side of the border) goes passed the limit.

"Sources suggest it is only a matter of time before Mexican drug wars spill over onto U.S. streets"

"If true, it suggests the Mexican cartels' paramilitary forces already are operating within the United States,"

"Snipers working as lookouts for drug traffickers were targeting Border Patrol agents from vantage points across the U.S.-Mexico border. Agents assigned to the Douglas station in Arizona's southeastern corner were fired at on at least six occasions."

"27 U.S. citizens have been abducted along the border in the past six months, two of whom were killed."

NOW can we redeploy the National Guard to guard our nation? How much more of this are we supposed to take?

This is definitely worth the read, WO. Thanks for posting it.

I left South Texas about three months ago. At that time I was hearing rumors. The rumors have now become fact.
This situation is deteriorating rapidly, and if we don't close off that border a lot of innocent people are going to be killed.

If we needed any more justification for a wall, this is it.
If we needed another excuse for our military to patrol our border with orders to shoot to kill, we've got it.

Sorry all, I did a search and somehow I missed it, but I seem to have doubled up.

Once again, my apologies.

Good article.

Did anyone happen to catch Catherine Crier today? She was scheduled to discuss the border problem - just wondering what slant she took.

Impossible. The Mexican military is one of the finest, most disciplined organizations in the world today. Pres. Vincente would never allow something like this. Pres. Bush would never be associated with Pres. Vincente if this were occurring. It's completely unsubstantiated. The Mexicans are your friends... you're sleepy, you're eyes are heavy and you're feeling sleepy... the GOP has it under control, you're feeling very sleepy now....
