750...man oh man.....
Holder said on the Fox clip that this was a National Security threat!...
And here, Aunt Janet told us that Mexican Drug Violence had not crossed our borders in any significant numbers, yet.
Liar. But then, what else is new...?
Thank you for the ping Aunt B.
The fence might not really matter in this discussion. There are other, better ways than sending drugs across the desert.
I have very close knowledge of two international companies with contracts with the government of Mexico to investigate specific transactions between American and Mexican companies. The effort uncovers fraudulent transactions by fraudulent companies. part of the analysis is confirming the companies actually exist at the locations noted on the documentation.
Although the Mexican Government makes the requests and pays the money for the investigations, I have become convinced that the money is given to Mexico from US Government war on drugs.
All most all transactions are legitimate and indicate a very healthy trade between lots and lots of American companies both very large and very small. Some of the fraudulent addresses on commercial documents are vacant lots, randomly selected upscale residential properties, the actual address of a different company or Suite 9 in an office building having only 8 offices. There are bogus invoices pasted up from graphics captured off the company web site for bogus merchandise.
I believe these fraudulent transactions are drug related. This news article is the first indication I’ve seen of a payoff.
By the way, legitimate businesses are very cooperative with an effort by the government of Mexico to clean things up.
And the FR server has never been swifter!
