>> Involved Men in Mexican Army Uniforms

"We are federales."

"Well, then where are your badges?"

"Badges? I ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges.
I don't have to show you no stinkin' badges!"

"Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the report was overblown and most of the incursions were just mistakes. "


Having him as HSS is a mistake.

These days I'm really starting to wonder about our survival instinct as a nation.

We need some UAV's with Hellfire missiles down there.
Smoke a few SUV's carrying weed and "federales".

"It's been so bred into everyone not to start an international incident with Mexico that it's been going on for years,"..."When you're up against mounted machine guns, what can you do? Who wants to pull the trigger first? Certainly not us."

That's the problem with putting control of our borders in the hands of law enforcement rather than in the hands of the military....where it belongs. When you're up against mounted machineguns, what do you do? The military answer is simple: Light 'em up....first. What are those federales in Humvees going to say with their mounted machineguns to a company of M1A1 Abrams tanks?

The Mexicans need a little history lesson: It took just the state of Texas (just about nine years before it was admitted to the union) to kick their A$$e$ at the Battle of San Jacinto in about 18 minutes. Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!

Don't mess with Texas. Don't mess with the USA.

Governor Perry wants to put the Texas National Guard on the border.. I wonder what they will think when they see some National Guard Abrams facing them down.

Mistake, huh? A river is a pretty clear demarcation of a border in my humble opinion.

So what does the Department of Homeland Security actually do anyway. I'm thinking that a quick reaction force of Apache helicopters should be on 24hr. standby along the border to backup up these border patrol guys.

How can it be overblown when this is obviously one of the main suppliers of the drug problem. What is the deal here. How can a blind eye be turned in this matter. Who is pulling Chertoff's strings...

There you have it, the BP had admitted they cannot protect the borders. The Governor needs to use the National Guard and send a bill to Bush.

Chertoff's lack of action or interest is very understandable --- They were all Mexicans, therefore it would be racist and/or profiling to defend our border. (sarcasm)

Mark my words, it's only a matter of time until we send troops in for nation building.
