Our military should be protecting our borders, not those of other countries, and help stop the invasion that has been going on far too long.
"It's like we're having a battle on the border that no one speaks of," one agent told the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper in Ontario, Calif.
"The Border Patrol lives in constant fear of pleasing the consulate general of Mexico," the agent continued. "It's one of the things that's most mystifying to line agents" because the U.S. is one of the most powerful countries in the world but appears to be more interested in accommodating Mexico City, the agent said.
Ping!
Sounds like a job for Blackjack Pershing.
Correspondence: Honorable Tom Tancredo,
Thank you immeasurably for your voice in Washington on behalf of those of us who are appalled at the illegal alien crisis. While there are many who claim we simply can't afford a "continuous linear border barrier", let me bring to mind a few points of which I'm sure you are already aware.
Mexico and Central/South America account for as much as 70% of the illegal drugs coming into these United States. All those drug sales mean that large amounts of cash accumulate in stash houses and collection points around the country. Those, many times, are well guarded by those willing to kill to protect their "industry".
For the multi-billion dollar narcotics business - like any commodities business -- it is essential that the suppliers and transporters be paid. That means the money must make its way south, and the traffickers, aided by specialists in money laundering, have devised myriad methods to insure the efficient and safe delivery of their profits. That safe delivery is made without apprehensions of murder, should anyone dare complicate the flow of funds. Estimates on how much money is sent south each year range from $10 to 30 billion. For Mexican traffickers along the Southwest border, the money is literally driven across the border in bulk amounts and then deposited into Mexican banks.
America's best angle to interrupt that flow of drugs and money is with a border barrier structure that increases the difficulty of that movement without observation. It is estimated that if the US invests as much in a barrier for the 2000 mile stretch as we invest in a four-lane highway (approx $13 million/mile), our costs to taxpayers would still only amount to about half of the annual trade in illegal drugs - roughly $26 billion. That is an investment with exponentially compounded savings to be realized each year from the aid to enforcement of our immigration code.
Not only can we find the way to deter criminal border entries, but deterring illegal aliens and interrupting the flow of "undocumented pharmaceuticals" has benefits by far outweighing any negative implications.
Keep up the good fight and may God Bless.
Signed
Como se dicé "Zimmerman Telegram"?
Any hear anything about a large amount of C4 stolen in Mexico?
We won't deal with terrorists -- it only encourages them -- but we kowtow to one of the most corrupt, top to bottom, governments in history. "Cheap," taxpayer-subsidized labor is a powerful narcotic.
IMO, the "cheap," taxpayer-subsidized labor crowd has their fingers crossed hoping and hoping a volunteer border watch group will be involved in some kind of "shoot out." They are ready with the "Davidian" option used by the Clinton DoJ. To wit, stories planted accusing the "vigilantes" of all kinds of crimes and dangerous intent.
"This is your brains on 'cheap,' taxpayer-subsidized labor."

The Border Patrol has taken down the Mex military and Federales on numerous occasions. I don't where this run and hide crap scomes from. It will be a cold day in hell before I flee from corrupt Mex MIl on my own soil. I carry an M-4, a combat load of ammo and a .300 WSM. for back up. No, there aint gonna be no running just examples being made.
BTTT
