I saw this article on a Texas fishing website.
Sorry about the formatting...It did not copy and paste too well.
Mexico owns the White House.
Since when does Mexico obey any law they don't feel like obeying? Why are we surprised? They view the US with contempt, as do Middle Eastern Muslim terrorists...because we bend over backwards to accomodate them. PC nonsense, and especially dangerous when you're dealing with people driven by testosterone, poverty, envy, and little or no education.
Treaties? We don't need no stinkin treaties.
Three words: act of war!
"Water flow from Presidio to El Paso has nearly stopped, and water officials claim that a makeshift earthen dam about 50 miles upriver from Presidio is the cause."
Alfred Nobel gave us the solution: dynamite!
Add some punitive redirection of water to the U.S. for good measure, and back it up with some small artillery.
Keep the water and send back the illegals.
I say play some hard ball.
Until the water stops being diverted stop all shipments of mexican produce to the US.
They can grow it but not sell it to the biggest customer anymore...let them eat it themselves :-)
Texas is blessed in many ways, but its biggest curse is having Mexico as a neighbor. Think of what a wonderful life it would be if it were Switzerland instead!
Can the Treaty be dumped at this point and war declared?
I am sure New Mexico would like to have some extra water. Just divert it all until those thieves learn to behave. Of course it would also shut off the river to Americans below but it doesn't look like they are getting much anyway.
Technically, the water flows from El Paso to Presidio. Of course, New Mexico is even more at fault. (Maybe this year they'll release some water.) The entire Pecos river in Texas has been mostly dry since the Red Bluff dam was built.
Since New Mexico has been failing release its mandated water to Texas, the Rio Grande has been fed by the Rio Conchos (the Mexican one, not the San Angelo one.)
