"Were there not specific orders from On High in the Border Patrol shortly after the Minuteman event last spring to deliberately keep apprehensions low? As I recall, those orders were issued to demonstrate that the Minutemen were not effective and that the drop in apprehensions had nothing to do with them. "

If the next terrorist attack comes from someone who came across the border, the Democrats will finally have the smoking gun they've tried to make every situation into to impeach President Bush.

And I, regrettably, will have to agree with them for once.

If the next terrorist attack comes from someone who came across the border

Terrorist attacks from across the Mexican border happen all the time in the U.S. A guy in Los Angeles parked his truck on a LART track and killed 10 people in the derailment. He was an illegal alien from Mexico, and he did it on purpose.

That's not a terrorist attack?

The people - mostly white people, but increasingly black people - are victimized in violent attacks every day in California, Arizona, NM, Texas by illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America. My own father, for instance, just a few months ago. This is never characterized by the press, or the police, as an act of terrorism, or "hate crimes", which they most certainly are, since we are undoubtedly targeted based on the color of our skin or our perceived ethnicity.

But terrorism and hate crimes they most definitely are. The Southwest I grew up in was so safe, we didn't lock our doors. But that ended in the late '60s. Now there are entire towns and parts of major cities in the West that are basically "Injun Country" for Americans.

That's not terrorism? If not, what is?
