"Garza was quoted Thursday in Mexico City as saying the situation in Nuevo Laredo has raised serious concerns in Washington as well as Texas."

Need more than just serious concern about the entire border situation.

Shakedown gone bad?

Or maybe just trying to eliminate the competition?

The position of Nuevo Laredo chief of police remains vacant, although according to City Hall officials, several individuals came to the mayors office Thursday expressing interest in the job. The mayor said the matter would be on the agenda of the next City Council meeting.

Lets see, now.

The last Chief of Police was murdered after holding the job for a few hours, and the mayor is deferring acting on the matter until the next City Council meeting?

I wonder if it will appear on the agenda before or after "Pothole Repair".

I used to come up thru Nuevo Laredo back in the old days on occasion.

It always seemed sorta sleepy to me.

Boys Town was a favorite for some.

I feel rather sorry for the inevitable (and quite literal) "bleedover" the Laredoans will suffer if this is left ignored.

What's that tag line...Dane's got his own groupie? Hahahahaha!

"They said vehicles used by federal police generally carry stickers and plates to indicate that they are federal property."

The vehicles were probably stolen from the Texas side the previous night and the Federales didn't have time to rebadge them.

The following is from an article in the Houston Chronicle.

61 local officers detained after police gunfire wounds a federal agent during a stop. Local officials are describing it as an accident.

Campos [the agent who was shot] was traveling with 25 other unarmed AFI agents in three pickups when the shooting occurred.

Just how do Mexicans cram so many people into so few vehicles?

I think it was yesterday that a poster signed up with a screen name of I Love Dane. He/she got in a couple of posts and then got banned.

If they start killing each other off, then who are the smugglers going to bribe?

Allow me to add one more that explains why we do not have an effective Border Patrol.

Lou Dobbs: Terror Arrests; Homeland Security; No Boundaries; Sanders & Paul Discussion

Lou Dobbs transcripts.cnn | 6/9/05 | Lou Dobbs

LOU DOBBS, CNN ANCHOR: Good evening, everybody. Tonight, an astonishing proposal to expand our borders to incorporate Mexico and Canada and simultaneously further diminish U.S. sovereignty. Have our political elites gone mad? We'll have a special report. Now, incredibly, a panel sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations wants the United States to focus not on the defense of our own borders, but rather create what effectively would be a common border that includes Mexico and Canada.

Hey, if I was going through all those pages anyway I might as well share the results. How dare that Hijinx and Gubamyster take time off for real life!

Seriously, they do so much great work for us that I'm happy to see them take much-deserved time off.
