Sure you want to hear all about what I have witnessed so you can begin to pick it all apart & of course I wouldn’t have evidence so you would again attack me. I don’t think so. The proper officials and interested parties have already been informed about what I have witnessed.
I have personally witnessed numerous events as I said and I will leave it at that, either you believe me or not, I really don’t care either way. If you keep up with incidents that happen on the border you will see many examples of US authorities jumping through hoops reported in news articles. It happens fairly regularly and most of the time it doesn’t even make the news.
One incident that was highly publicized was when another BP (Nicholas Corbett) was charged in the shooting death of an illegal. In that case Mexican consulate officials were allowed to question witnesses to the shooting before US investigators were allowed to question them. To me that is a pretty blatant act of US jumping through hoops to please Mexican officials. I am sure you will see it otherwise.
US relations with Mexico is a funny thing- when US officials need cooperation of Mexican officials it is seldom given. When the shoe is on the other foot the US officials bend over backward to please Mexico. That is how it is on the border, that is how it has been in the past 36 years I have lived on the border. In the past several years I have been employed in a spot to see it happen first hand. Why does it work that way? I have NO idea- just one of the many mysteries of the border. Do I think it is a big “conspiracy” of some sort? It seems to be policy and I think it is just our government trying to be nice even when “nice” is not returned. I believe it is a bad policy, and that it needs to end. If Mexico wants cooperation, then they need to give cooperation, otherwise no cigar. Mexico should start by not encouraging their poor to illegally cross into the US. They might also want to help (actually help not just give lip service) curtail drug smuggling and many of the other illegal activities that take place on the border. Mexico is far from being a good neighbor to the US, and we should be acting accordingly.
So many people do not want to hear what is really happening on the border and will attack the messengers. I remember posting here a few years ago about an incident where Mexican military types crossed the border into the US, the disbelief and attacks by other posters was unreal. A few months after that incidents of that type began to be reported in the news and when it became public that such events occured numerous times the detractors were silent.
I don’t want to debate endless details of endless events on the border with you or anyone else. It is pointless and a waste of my time. I will not change my mind and I am quite sure you won’t change yours in any event. I want the US to fence the border and enforce ALL laws regarding ALL illegal activity on the border. I am working very hard towards that goal and hope I live to see the day when we have enough elected officials that agree with me to accomplish that goal.
I’m not a supporter of Mexico. I don’t support the R&C incident because I believe it was a bad shoot and no matter you’re position on the border, the law should com first.
If you don’t want to tell what you know, you’re call, but you won’t get any flack from me. Particularly if you are in a position to know, other than just living near the border with anecdotal stories.
Good post.
