On top of everything you said, we simply don't have enough water for all these illegals. I think I'm joining the minutement in Spetember.

[DoughtyOne]

The United States already has problems with growth. As you state, water supply in upcoming decades is going to be a major concern. I do not understand the drive to double our population ASAP.

As for the MP, good for you.

Securing the border and deporting illegal aliens, along with criminal legal immigrants, should be a top priority. Our military would be better utilized on our border since we are facing an invasion than in Iraq.

"Mexican mercenaries expand base into U.S."
By Jerry Seper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
August 1, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A renegade band of Mexican military deserters, offering $50,000 bounties for the assassination of U.S. law-enforcement officers, has expanded its base of operations into the United States to protect loads of cocaine and marijuana being brought into America by Mexican smugglers, authorities said.

The deserters, known as the "Zetas," trained in the United States as an elite force of anti-drug commandos, but have since signed on as mercenaries for Mexican narcotics traffickers and have recruited an army of followers, many of whom are believed to be operating in Texas, Arizona, California and Florida.

Working mainly for the Gulf Cartel, one of Mexico's most dangerous drug-trafficking organizations, as many as 200 Zeta members are thought to be involved, including former Mexican federal, state and local police. They are suspected in more than 90 deaths of rival gang members and others, including police officers, in the past two years in a violent drug war to control U.S. smuggling routes."

"Mexican Drug Gangs Use Tour Buses To Smuggle"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""We are seeing a sharp increase in the use of chartered buses to smuggle narcotics from Mexico, although we are not sure why," Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for ICE in San Diego, said on Thursday.
The buses, which shuttle tourists on charters on both sides of the border, have tended to be old and have dual license plates registered in California and Mexico. Most times the drugs are stashed near the toilet, under bus floors, and in the roof."

"Officials from both sides of the border downplayed the possible threat..."

Phew! Sheesh! That was close! NOW we can relax.....

[AmericanInTokyo]

Any Freepers out there NOW care to argue IN FAVOR of open borders????

"Out-and-out terrorism on the border near Laredo
Situation puts Americans right in the crosshairs"

By JERRY BREWER

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Tony Garza, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, recently described a brutal gun battle that took place on July 28 in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, between "armed criminal groups," as having "included unusually advanced weapons." This since the combatants used an arsenal that combined automatic weapons, bazookas and hand grenades, in the attack on an apparent safe house of one drug cartel by those of another.

Actually, hundreds of different caliber shells were subsequently found at the war zone-like scene, along with AK-47 rifles, handguns and ski masks. And if that is not disturbing enough, a state policeman who asked not to be identified said that investigators found numerous photographs of municipal police officers at the residence, an apparent hit list of officials sentenced to death. Further intelligence revealed that each of the photographs listed the officer's name and assigned location, along with maps to their homes."


ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "The attacks on Mexican and U.S. soil, along with the paramilitary sightings, should convince U.S. and Mexican officials, as well as the public at large, that these are terrorist attacks. Must there be suicide-homicide and related bombers to convince us that these are terrorist acts?"

"We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or five years or fifteen years from now, we're going to take 5 to 10 million Mexicans and they are going into Dallas, into El Paso, into Houston, into New Mexico, into San Diego, and each one will have embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans."

--Thomas Borge, Nicaragua Interior Minister as quoted in the Washington Times, March 27, 1985
