"The news has put the border city's trust in its Police Department at risk."

And yet, San Antonio is a sanctuary city. See my tag line.

[proudofthesouth]

Why anyone would go into that horrible country is beyond me....

[sockmonkey]

I was not aware that San Antonio was a sanctuary city. I know Mayor Hardberger has said, "If a Sanctuary City means disobeying the laws... no I would not support that. I will support the laws, I took an oath that I would and I will."

When did his position change?

I know Patti Radle is a social justice nut. She always has been, but I just can't see the rest of the city council going along with her goofy ideas.

Santiago was accused of rape last year in a case that was dropped because of lack of evidence, according to Vanguardia.

WoC Ersatz news service reports: US DOJ to look into possible violations of the officers' human rights? "Though the reported incident took place in Mexico we feel that since the accuser is an American the officers are protected by the Constitution," said a DOJ employee.

Not a joking matter? Neither is DOJ's "hurt a drug smuggler, go to prison" border patrol policy.

Where have you been? It's been reported many times.

BTW, weren't you the one last year who didn't care if illegals were living on your property?

[Obie Wan]

Well two of our border agents got 12 years for shooting a Mexican drug dealer in the ass. I wonder what these two amigo's are going to get ???

I wonder what these two amigo's are going to get ???

If they held a sling shot to her head they are in deep trouble.

This lady dosnt sound too bright.

Sitting on a step at 3am in Mexico

Her boyfriend is Mexican?

Its not like there havent been hundreds of warnings about Mexico,and its police.

Calling firneds in San Antonio thats at least 2 hours away she sure wouldnt get hel from ther before daylight.

I dont mean to excuse the police in any way,but this gal is stupidly irresponsible to place gerself in this position.

[sockmonkey]

Where have you been? It's been reported many times.

I searched on the internet, and searched San Antonio City council minutes, and did not find any reference to the City Council voting to officially designate San Antonio as a Sanctuary City.

If you could point me to a source for the City Council voting to designate San Antonio as a Sanctuary City, I'd appreciate it.

[sockmonkey]

BTW, weren't you the one last year who didn't care if illegals were living on your property?

Yes, that was me, and you'll be happy to know that the last time I was out there, I saw no illegals camping out on my property.

Time to close the border, from our side. Let the merchants in Tijuana, Nogales, Juarez, Piedras Negras, Nueva Laredo, and Matamoros do without the Gringo dollars for a while. (Even if many of those "Gringos" are, in many cases ethnically indistinguishable from the local Mexican residents of those cities.)

[El Gato]

BTW, most (or all) of the border towns of Mexico are already "OFF LIMITS" to US Military personnel.

[jagusafr]

I'm with you - haven't seen any attempt to designate SA a sanctuary city, and to the best of my knowledge, we're not.

[SmoothTalker]

Lets not get into a game of blame the victim.

[television is just wrong]

family values once again crosses the rio grande, is what they say on American Patrol.

[Mr.Unique]

Thank heavens there are no dirty cops in the U.S.

[television is just wrong]

now that's just silly I'm sure there are. We just don't need them coming over the border and complicating the problem.

[Mr.Unique]

We just don't need them coming over the border and complicating the problem.

Now that's just silly. This happened on their side of the border.
