Snip: Latin America, including Central America and Mexico, accounts for about half the carmakers' global market for armored vehicles, according to an internal Ford market study provided by Vaughn. The region is also the fastest-growing market, along with the Middle East, with a 7 percent share, and Asia, with 2 percent.
Forget Hummers, try armor plating

Local 2544 - Border Patrol Agents
Snippets:
Geez, there sure are a lot of "speeders" coming across the border illegally. Maybe we should start using "speed bumps" to slow them down. Radar guns anyone? Pay a small fine and get your citizenship here. This is just more insanity from a White House so out of touch with the average American that we're beginning to think they should move to Mexico City so they'll be closer to their real constituents. They seem more interested in appeasing the "FOX" and his folks than they do representing the people who put them in office (that would be us dumb Americans who want the invasion stopped).
Senator Specter, at the last minute, put a clause in the Senate's shameful immigration bill that forces the United States government to "consult" with Mexico prior to planning or building any fences or barriers on our border. Not on Mexico's border, but yes, on United States soil. We can't wait to see this fencing project after the "consultations" take place. Maybe they can even appoint "Congressman" Raul Grijalva to lead the "consultations" for the United States of America. This is the same Mexican government who sends millions of their citizens here illegally to steal jobs and send billions of dollars back to Mexico. This is the same Mexican government whose soldiers smuggle drugs and shoot at Border Patrol agents. This is the same Mexican government that is corrupt to the core. This is the same Mexican government that uses its consular officers to sue the United States government. Great move Specter. Talk about the "FOX" guarding the henhouse.
Every day that President Bush and the Senate hold real border security hostage to their misguided amnesty program, thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens continue to flood into the country. Make no mistake, most of them get by us. We are losing this war, and it's not even close. Contact your senators and congressmen now. Tell them to secure the border and tell them to reject amnesty programs (so called "guest-worker"). The Congress "gets it". The American people "get it". Shut the border down to illegal crossings, then start hammering the greedy employers who hire them. Start deporting, we repeat, deporting, the illegal aliens who are here in violation of law. It may take years, but you don't build a house overnight. It's not complicated folks. Promising more AMNESTY is not going to dissuade anyone from coming here. Rewarding the lawbreakers with amesty is not going to solve anything. It just demonstrates that there are rewards for breaking our laws. The Congress should continue to REJECT Bush's calls for amnesty and should continue to stick up for the American people who want this problem stopped now, without AMNESTY provisions.
According to Ted Kennedy, Americans support amnesty for illegal aliens (he calls it "earned citizenship", which means you break laws to "earn" your citizenship). Hey Teddy, we are Americans, and we don't support anything you're doing. You are a disgrace. Make sure you count us out when you lie to everyone about the "broad support" your amnesty plan enjoys.
This Local has nothing to do with any alleged management directives to report the location of the Minutemen volunteers to the Mexican government. Our position on the Mexican government and the Mexican military is very clear. They are corrupt, their soldiers shoot at us, they smuggle drugs, they help illegal aliens invade this country by the millions, they are not to be trusted, and they should have ZERO input into the internal policies of the United States of America. We have received a lot of e-mail on this issue. Rank-and-file Border Patrol agents have been angry for years about the Mexican Consulate invading our work stations, demanding interviews with prisoners, and basically being given free reign to do whatever they want. It's been a standing joke for years that we should "check with the Mexican Consulate" to see if they approve before we do anything. Their influence on our politicians and upper managers is absolutely disgraceful.
05-10-06 Update: Two congressmen have now called for an investigation, and management can't get their stories straight (the pre-programmed Agency "spokespersons" evidently weren't all programmed with the same "information" before they were turned loose on the media to straighten all this out. A massive re-programming of the spokespersons is almost certainly taking place at this time). Read an article quoting former Tucson Sector agent Scott James here (we can verify that he did, in fact, quit in complete "disgust" when he left here some months ago).
My goodness Mama thanks for this composite!
