Mexican 'Coyotes' Operate in Plain Sight

Carrying their belongings and gallons of water, people wait for darkness before trying to cross illegally into the U.S. through the Arizona desert near the town of Sasabe, Mexico on Tuesday April 4, 2006. Before 1994, helping migrants sneak into the United States was considered almost a community service in Mexican villages but growing security along the border has made the business even more ruthless as smugglers chase growing profits and now see their clients as merchandise.(AP Photo/Dario Lopez-Mills)

Let the right M82 sniper team put .50 cal holes in the engine blocks of the coyotes' vehicles, and this nonsense will stop. When the Coyotes have to walk home, they'll find other employment.

IF that fails to work, let the Predators do the work after the coyote drops off the "guests" and the coyote heads back.

"The M82A1A is designed to provide commanders the tactical option of employing snipers with an anti-materiel weapon to augment the present anti-personnel M40A1 7.62mm weapon. The rifle is manufactured by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Incorporated of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The scope is manufactured by Unertl to match the trajectory of .50 caliber Raufoss Grade A (DODIC A606), which is the standard operational round."

1800 metres effective range on materiel targets.

" ... and now see their clients as merchandise."

Hogwash!

Those that deal in ferrying illegals have always considered them meat and have been doing so for many many years.

In 1967 we had a cop leave our department and go with the Border Patrol. Less than a year later he was found, with his partner, handcuffed to a fence post. Both shot in the head, execution style.

It was "Coyotes", migrant smugglers.

As usual, we need more straight talk and less B/S.

"Smuggling people into the United States from around the world has become a $10 billion-a-year industry, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials."

I'm thinking about starting up a business to smuggle people into...say Pakistan or Saudi Arabia or Yemen or Oman or UAE or even Russia or France or Germany. Anybody want to invest???? (sarc obviuosly)

If you are a coyote and are captured, there should be an automatic sentence of 5 years at hard labor.

Or 10 years.

Good post. You got to it ahead of me.

Show the coyotes that their life is gonna take a decided turn for the worse if they keep smuggling aliens into the US.

It won't stop all of them - but it will discourage a great many of them.

[Blueflag]

LOL, the Predator that was never built. Go with the GlobalHawk.

How about 2 B-52s just packed to the gills with Hellfires on the hardpoints. Let 'em gas up and orbit the border for days at a time. Don't fire on the "guests", just the Coyotes' vehicles after all the folks are safely out.

[gaijin]

I agree completely. But I think as long as there is a safety issue --as long as it is POSSIBLE that one of the infiltrators is a terrorist, or someone carrying an agent, or toxin-- our armed forced should have the option of firing on the perps directly, if the situation warrants.

No malice, mind you, and I actually really LIKE these people, but if you invade a country at WAR, well...

[stopem]

All good ideas ;)
But enforcing the law may help to (sarcasm)
I read somewhere that the 1000 or so illegals that were arrested at some company were let go few hours later, and I also read were a mexican billionaire bought Verizon, so now the billionaire buys up our corporations and they have a workforce, (their people) already in place to work.

This is all extremely sickening!!

Mexican billionaires are buying us out and they are allowing the invasion of their people. While we hope and pray and fax our politicians and hold rallies. Can we really fight the billionaires buying us out? Can't anything be done to stop mexican nationals or any other country from buying our telephone companies??? Isn't that buying out our infrastructure? Does anyone consider this all very very dangerous?

[Calpernia]

I'm more worried about the 'white collared' coyotes. The ones that bring in illegals through grant programs of the NGOs.

Good thing about the Mexican border coyotes, our Minutemen are and have been taking action

(Fence Project Donations at post 18)

Anyone have any insight how we can legally take action and stop the universities and corporations from bringing in illegals through grant projects?

"Corruption also taints Mexico's efforts to stop human trafficking."

That's quite the understatement.

[IamConservative]

In flyover country, when we see a Coyote out in the open, we put it between the cross hairs. No more Coyote.

I also read were a mexican billionaire bought Verizon
not true:

Verizon is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vodafone,SA.
This is the Vodafone site, click on US and Verizon page opens up:

Thanks! Interesting.

I don't feel allowing foreign nationals to buy our telephone companies is a wise move. I have some Verizon stock and was concerned.

[SwinneySwitch]

Coyotes Ping!

Mexico's president offered to crack down on smuggling at a recent summit with President Bush.

Hahahahaa... as if either of them.... hahahaha!
