In case you missed it, William Bennett, drug czar under G. H. W. Bush, made the comment on CNN this morning that the claim by the Obama Admin of 90 percent of the guns being purchased by the Mexican Drug Cartels is bunk - he stated that Mexico claims that 90 percent of the guns they confiscate from the drug cartels where there is a serial number on them came from the U.S., but that this is only a fraction of the total number of guns that were confiscated (between 10 to 15 percent). Bennett stated that most of the guns being purchased by the drug cartels are coming from the world market - from places like Cental and South American and China - not from the U.S. That would make sense given that gun dealers in the U.S. are very strictly regulated (and would not risk losing their federal license) and the fact that there have not been any ATF, FBI, DEA raids upon anyone in the U.S. for illegally selling firearms to anyone in Mexico.

Select fire means you can select between one shot or multiple shots per trigger pull. AKA full-auto.

Espanola con artists have been planning the "drug war" for a long time-----as a way to sneak more Mexicans into our country. They pour over our borders, whining about "persecution," b/c SocSec hands out huge monthly checks to foreigners under this classification (more below).

Doing menial jobs act is part of the con game. Now they are in high gear-----using scare tactics to alarm the US into getting involved---in order to get their hands on US tax dollars.

This is a Third World con game to drain the US treasury. They are using the well-worn Mideast handbook: " How To Get the US To Pour Trillion$ Into Your Flea-Bitten Country."

================================

Obama, Hillary and DHS' Napolitano are willing dupes of the Mexican governemnt----dutifully reciting latino agit-prop that "the US is exporting guns to drug cartels."

As one savvy FReeper posted: " I've been attending gun shows for over 20 years and have yet to find the fully automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenade launchers or anything beyond one-round-per-trigger-pull Mexican cartels are armed with (unavailable here without a license). "

"The truly sad fact never reported is that common Mexicans are deprived of firearms under their own laws - leaving the lawless, the corrupt and the government (and combinations of all three) the only ones armed. The drug cartels and their bought-off authorities would never have run roughshod over a citizenry empowered by a 2nd Amendment like ours. "

Obama's treacherous plan to award US citizenship to illegals is a con game to force taxpayers to subsidize Dem's voting blocs.

Illegals are dual citizens, and swear allegiance ---first and foremost---to the Third World. THEIR GOVERNMENTS EXPECT THEM TO RETURN ----AFTER THEY DRAIN THE US TREASURY.

We need to see Rahm's, Hillary's and Janet's emails and cell phone records to determine when they get their orders from the Mexican government.

==================================

The frauds just keep on a-coming.....thanks to the conniving Mexican government.

Cong TOM TANCREDO relates his conversation with Juan Hernandez (Hernandez was McC's Hispanic outreach rep). Hernandez is a dual citizen and headed the Mexican govt's **Ministry of Mexicans Living in the United States. ** Hernandez said the purpose of the Mexican govt agency was:

(1) to increase the flow of Mexican nationals to the US to serve Mexico’s needs;

(2) to increase transfers of $50 billion a year (30% of the Mexican GDP);

(3) to alleviate Mexican social instability, and,

(4) to get free training for Mexicans who are expected to repatriate the skills (paid for by US citizens) back to Mexico.

Hernandez supports amnesty. Hernandez told Tancredo: "By populating the US with millions of Hispanics who are tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico, we are able to exert enormous influence and pressure on U.S. policy and its dealings with Mexico."

======================================

THE LATEST RIPOFF The bogus Mexican "drug war" is creating a new class of illegal connivers....."refugees" seeking "asylum" in the US. The "persecution" classification was once reserved for those claiming religious or political persecution. Now the Mexican govt is coaching its citizens to pour into the US, whining about "persecution from drug wars"......another way to drain the US Treasury.

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 202-224-3121.
