I agree with the concept but in reality the Border Patrol's handguns and shotguns are bad news in desert warfare against machine guns.
This will happen again--- and again--- as it has in the past.




What happens when the BP comes up against SOMEONE dressed as Mexican military, on the US side, with machine guns, and their cargo is a large box with biohazard symbols?

I agree that unless someone at the top gives an order to change the pattern, nothing is going to happen except a few more Americans killed.

Bush has gone out of his way to make nice with Vincente Fox. That made sense at first, after 70 years of PRI corruption, before Fox proved to be just more of the same.

Bush must realize that he has angered a lot of voters over the border issue, and unlike clinton I doubt whether Bush is getting paid off by the drug smugglers. Still, it's always easier not to stir up trouble if you can help it. It's a political reflex.
