I feared a Waco-style attacked on the growing number of American citizens trying to do something about ILLEGAL immigration and going to the border.
From what I had learned Mr. Simcox was being trailed and watched by border patrol personnel just waiting, waiting for the opportunity when Mr. Simcox stepped onto any federal property where he could be arrested for carrying his legal firearm.
I asked my Congressman to please watch the doings in Washington and attempt to stop any aggressive moves against more citizens.
Well, I guess the next "Waco" won't be the BATF / FBI HRT against citizens -- it could be the Mexican army doing Washington's dirty work. Who'd a thunk.
This is true: I have long thought that Washington will permit the Mexican army to enter the U.S. should federal employees ask for help on the border -- possibly even to establish "safe" zones for Mexican citizens.
Call me single issue.. please!
Mexican army troops remain on the southern border to prevent the entry of undocumented people from other nations who may wish to transit Mexico on the way to the United States. There is also extra security around Mexico's oil fields and refineries.
Mexico supplies the United States with 1.5 million barrels of oil each day.
U.S. officials increasingly see Mexico and Canada as the rear guard for protecting the United States. A report conducted in late September by a private firm called Strategic Forecasting says security will become the major issue in the relations between the three nations.
The report predicted that the United States, Canada and Mexico would work to form a North American security perimeter, with counter-terrorism being the priority.

Do you believe the mexican army is preventing transit of undocumented people from other nations? Does this agreement mean that undocumented people from Mexico are ok to pass?
