Never.
And I dare say, the Border Patrol never crosses the line, either. And I'm not being sarcastic, I believe that to be the truth.
It was either military or mercenary personnel escorting/providing cover for drug smugglers.
The "disconnect" is Mexican Vote.
Unlike Bob Dole, 'W' was able to pull in about 30-40% of the Mexican Vote Nationally.
That is because he has some goodwill among Mexican Community. Despite their best efforts, Democraps were not able to portray him as anti-immigration, thus anti-Mexican biggot.
If he or any Republican takes any step that Democraps can portray as anti-Mexican racism, they would win the Presidency.
If 'W' did not pull the percantage that he did among Mexican community, Gor/Kerry would be your CICs.
I believe this trade-off can not continue. If Mexican's are pissed than so be it. Loose a term or two but secure the borders.
These nuns are just stricter than normal...
I would be VERY SURPRISED to see him do that and I would be very proud of him for finally taking a firm stand. If only he would ...
Some (if not all) of their military are part of the Mexican drug cartel's. Mexico is a very corrupt country.
I bet you can spell better than a dictionary! lol.
"Having him as HSS is a mistake."
He's just following orders. But you are right, he's a mistake.
The Mexican Army has a desertion rate of 9% to 11% per year!
I am sure he is, but maybe he should start getting vocal about those orders.
...I think there's plenty of survival instinct among the citizenry. I wonder about the leadership, though...
Oh, they plan to survive. Why do you think they just rehired John Magaw?
They don't care if we survive, obviously.
...Who is pulling Chertoff's strings...
Some Mexican named Jorge Arbusto.
