Israeli advice on the Mexico fence: be ruthless
Haaretz.com ^ | 23/05/2006 | n/a

Posted on 05/23/2006 7:25:12 PM PDT by 1ofmanyfree

(excerpted...) Tactics: Don't just rely on sophisticated machinery and equipment. You need people on the ground using the equipment to pursue the invaders. They need to react fast, they need intelligence, and they need to be tireless. It will only take a couple of months before the flow of immigrants will become much weaker.

Intelligence: Recruit people on the Mexican side to be your eyes and ears and to tell you what the smugglers are up to. Make sure you can communicate fast, and react even faster. Good intelligence can be the key factor for success.

Routine: The smugglers will be inventive and will look for ways around you. If you stick to some regulated routine, you'll end up wasting your time and your money. Surprise them where they don't expect you, make them understand that no place is safe, no route out of reach. "Don't police them, fight them."

Ruthlessness: Is it really important for the Americans? If it is, they should be prepared to show it. "Make the other side understand that this is no game - that life can be in danger," says the expert. "I know this is the toughest advice of all, but short of doing it the Americans will end up pretending to stop illegal immigrants rather than really doing it.

At the end of the day, it is very simple: America is more powerful than the smugglers - meaning, it can deter them from doing what they do." But there's one condition necessary to keep this preponderance of power working:

"It should be as important for America to stop the illegal new comers as it is for them to come."

The Israelis are advising to run this operation professionally. Unfortunately, we are dealing with the Federal Government.

But first you need a government who doesn't look at this country as a marketplace.

Not when there is a United States Senate who wants them to come and an administration who is unwilling to send them back!!!!!

Our government will call the Mexican government and smugglers, and tell them the best places to cross to avoid the border patrol and Minutemen.

I would only add this:

Since most SW states have (or have had) a legal bounty on varmints, shoot the coyotes and hang their bodies on the Mexican side of the fence.

And first you need a government that is interested in the future of this country, as opposed to its own blind, dysfunctional empowerment. And you need a President that also cares about America, and its people, more than Mexico...a President that remembers what country he works for...these things would help.

Vicente Foxxy is paying a visit to the U.S. to give Bush another chance to kiss his ring and shine his boots. Bush always looks up to his friend from Mexico.
