There is a simple reason I don't buy this "American military weapons" story. It's too easy and too cheap to get them from somewhere else.
Juan Hernandez (stooge McC's hispanic outreach man) told Cong Tancredo: "Mexico's plan to populate the United States with millions of Hispanics tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico, makes us able to exert enormous influence and pressure on US policy and its dealings with Mexico."
Juan Hernandez is a dual citizen who headed the "Ministry of Mexicans Living in the United States."
THE LATEST RIPOFF The bogus Mexican "drug war" is creating a new class of illegal connivers........"refugees" seeking "political asylum" in the US.
This classification was once reserved for those claiming religious or political persecution.
Now Mexican are pouring into the US, whining about "persecution"......another way to collect US govt freebies.
THE RIPOFF UP CLOSE Social Security provides outrageous government financial aid to "refugees" claiming "persecution."
Keep in mind these people never paid a dime into the SS system; yet, they can collect seven years straight and can get extended payments if they are politically well-connected. The SS checks to these "persecuted refugees" can amount to $1000 a month and more.
NOTE WELL Some of these suckups are wealthy people whining about "persecution", squatting on US soil, intent on draining the US treasury.
ACTION NOW Call your reps and demand these payments and the "persecuted refugee" classification be stopped.
Call Congress 202-224-312----WH 202-456-1414
Between Jan 2000-Dec 2006: More than 163,000 military members were criminally processed during former president Vicente Foxs 6 years term of office. The majority of the crimes were: [the list includes abuse of power, homicide, embezzlement, kidnapping, bank robbery, illegal possession of firearms and health crimes [essentially organized crime].Another slide in that same DEA PowerPoint presentation states that the Mexican military reported an average of 1,200 desertions per month in 2006.
I would also say that neither article I linked, nor the one heading this thread, attribute the whole problem to legally transferred arms from the U.S. Nor did I intend to infer that.
