McALLEN -- Recent U.S. efforts to disrupt drug smuggling routes through the Rio Grande Valley have prompted threats of retaliation against authorities on this side of the river, according to an FBI intelligence report. Vowing to maintain control over valuable trafficking corridors such as those in Reynosa, Matamoros and Miguel Alem

No, But they wouldn’t have access to thousands or maybe millions of dollars that they do now from supplying drugs that are currently illegal.

Don’t laugh, DHS has Predator B on the southern border. The biggest obstacle to employment...getting the FAA to allow unmanned aircraft in the national airspace system.

“Cheaper and purer heroin just means they’re going to continue operations with a stronger business model than the competition.”

With all due respect, I think you missed my point: Heroin is cheaper and purer now than it has ever been because the WOD is simply failing to stop the inflow of this drug. It ISN’T working.

All we are doing is a repeat of the Prohibition era, and the huge money is corrupting officials and making terrorists and gangs rich in the process.

Posse comitatus is a good thing, it keeps Federal troops from engaging in local law enforcement.

If the employment of snipers were necessary, qualified snipers returning from Iraq could legally be deployed by the National Guard from the affected state.

Either that or deploy Federal troops along the border in a Constitutional role - securing our borders.

What is lacking is not capability or legal means, it is the will to enforce our border.

The US military could clean this problem up in one day and put a permanent halt to all illegal activity in a week.

Where’s Pres. Bush???? LOL No wonder he is moving to paraguay...create a problem and leave.

LOOOOOOOOOOLLL

If that’s what the Zetas look like, I for one, welcome our new Zeta overlords.

“”These replacements are believed to be armed with assault rifles, bulletproof vests and grenades and are occupying safe houses throughout the McAllen area,” says the document, which was distributed to local law enforcement officials late last month....”

My cousin is a sheriff in a small south Texas town. They’ve had visits by the Feds telling them to be on the alert for muslim terrorists crossing over. Looks like the Zetas/Mexican organized crime will kill us first. There are Zetas growing dope in our national forests all over the N.W. They are here and they are TROUBLE!

No prob. Give the LEO’s these...

How about giving them immunity from any and all prosecution when engaging the enemy?

We have the firepower, what we need is to tie and gag the damned lawyers.

Do you see me laughing? I'm betting that rules of engagement require Secretary DHS approval.

Legalize drugs and the Zetas won’t even have the power of our local thugs. Of course that would empty prisons, cause large lay-offs in the court systems and crime prevention industry.

Most of them would be unemployed by their current bosses. The meth labs would disappear because coke and heroin would be available. The first year we would have overdoses as common as sunsets. It would do a lot to clean up the gene pool!

Companies dealing in tobacco and alcohol make millions or billions of dollars. Why wouldn’t the former drug dealers make that much too in a legal trade of even more addicting substances? They would still be supplying those free first doses to get people hooked.

No. Heroine is cheaper and purer now because like any other business, they have refined and improved their manufacturing procedure.

If the WOD is failing to stop the inflow of that drug, that just means there aren't enough dead drug dealers. We need to raise the cost of delivery, not just lower the return.

Drugs are a cartel. They would act to keep their prices high regardless of legal status.

Do you think that the criminals and thugs smuggling these drugs would magically turn around and find honest work if drugs were made legal?

Never thought of the drug war as a jobs program for criminals. It's a good thing we have banks for people to rob, otherwise they may come after us.
