Isn't that special? Heck we need their votes so let them in.
A discussion on FREEREPUBLIC.com regarding a DALLAS MORNING NEWS article via KANSAS CITY STAR: "FBI BULLETIN OUTLINES POSSIBLE TERRORIST PLOT AT TEXAS BORDER" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The plot, according to uncorroborated information provided by an FBI informant, involves a man, described as an Arab who goes by the nickname "El Espanol," and Ernesto Zatarin Beliz, also known as El Traca, a reputed Mexican drug trafficker and member of the Zetas, the feared enforcers of the notorious Gulf cartel.")

WorldNetDaily.com: Washington - "MEXICAN DRUG COMMANDOS EXPAND OPS IN 6 US STATES" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The ultra-violent, U.S.-trained elite, Mexican paramilitary commandos known as the "Zetas," responsible for hundreds of murders along the border this year, have expanded their enforcement efforts on behalf of a drug cartel by setting up trafficking routes in six U.S. states. A U.S. Justice Department memo says the U.S.-trained units have recently moved operations into Houston, San Antonio and the states of California, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. They have been operating in Dallas for at least two years, according to the feds.") (June 21, 2005) (Read More...)

Just doing jobs (protecting drug smugglers) that Americans would not do.. this is what BUSH means by his open border policy?? WAKE UP GOP the conservative voters are willing to walk away.
I have to wonder, at what point will our government consider this an invasion?
I also have to wonder how soon out military will become involved in defending the country. It seems this is beyond the capabilities of local law enforcement or the border patrol to deal with.
Ya think the ACLU will organize a protest against these gun toting vigilantes?
"Why do I have the suspicion that other countries are involved in this?"
What other countries do you think might be involved? If you suspect Muddle Eastern countries like Iran, Syria and others that are known terror hotspots, then why would you object to the military being used to guard us from invasion during a time of war?
The American people expect and demand secure borders.
CALLING ELLIOT NESS...CALLING ELLIOT NESS...COME IN, NESS...OVER...
It's pretty clear that the narcoterrorists control the southern border of the good ol' USA.
Is this group-Zeta's-the trained armed cadre around which revolutionaries can gather? Thus, could begin the coming Social War.
While the information in the article has to be of concern, IMO the author has overwritten to a rather large extent.
His quotes, except from one sheriff, who found some "commando" stuff, are all general, giving him the license to write the article his way. Wow, commandos are killing federal agents along the border. We're being invaded by an army protecting $10 million per day drug shipments.
How many "real" news articles have you read about this, articles generated by reporters from those border areas?
I haven't seen any that describe the situation like that.
Obviously the border must be secured. It will take a lot of manpower. Drug criminals should be imprisoned, natch, and illegal border-crossers should be interned. We have a bunch of closed bases which could handle lots and lots of people.
Our federal law enforcement agencies, except Border Patrol, don't lose situations like this. There has been no outcry from the FBI, DEA, ATF, Customs, about the commando invasions, and they're all down there working drugs, which is dangerous anywhere, and they get shot at everywhere.
INS, parent agency for Border Patrol, has been compromised for many years. Enforcement efforts have resulted in not much more than the release of the arrestees, or court cases strung out and delayed to the extent that they dry up because it's just not worth it to spend that much money to look after the rights of an offender to insure that he has a fair trial, when the end result is nada.
Operating under the INS jurisdiction, Border Patrol is screwed into ineffectiveness. If they worked in a federal task force arrangement, where the disposal of cases is assured, they can be effective. They have a demoralizing job, and that's what leads to bad results.
As to the Border Patrol failing? I don't think the Border Patrol per se has failed but they can't do the job 100% because of lack of planning, funds, training, and personnel. That now is trying to be fixed. However, it will be several years before increase trained personnel will be seen on the Border Patrol. What to do now is the question, and that is what I understand is what congress is trying to answer.
We need to choke off tourism to mexico.
Perhaps a super strong state department warning of "DO NOT GO."
It is long overdue that we need to see mexico for the bannana republic it really is.
CAFTA.

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.
Mexico, number one in illegal immigration and now number one in the drug biz.
Mexico now dominates U.S. drug distribution
