“Several months ago, Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano stated that some 230 American cities were infested by members of the Mexican drug cartels. Many of these cities are located hundreds, if not thousands of miles from the border that is supposed to separate the United States from Mexico.
As I noted when I appeared on MSNBC a couple of weeks ago, the cartels in Mexico operate in a very different manner as compared with the way that criminals in the United States have generally operated. Members of the Mafia in the United States almost never intentionally targeted law enforcement officials for fear that they would be “calling in an airstrike on their own position,” in a manner of speaking.
The theory was that if you killed a cop or a federal agent, you would unleash an onslaught of unimagined proportions against your criminal organization. Additionally, the mob generally did not kill family members of rival organizations and didn’t even generally kill an adversary in front of his family.
The Mexican cartels have no compunctions against any of the above restrictions. They often seek to kill law enforcement officials and members of the military. They often target prosecutors and anyone else who stands in their way. The Mexican drug organizations, not unlike a cancerous and metastasizing cancerous tumor, have no rules! They seek to dominate by corrupting everyone and anyone they need to. Those who will not accept a bribe are often killed and the more violently the better!
Will our nation have to suffer the extreme levels of violence now considered routine in parts of Mexico before our leaders take the appropriate action?
Today our nation is bleeding red and green! The red is the blood of our citizens and other living in the United States who are falling victim to violent criminal aliens including members of the cartels and other criminal organizations from the four corners of the world. The green is the cash flowing our of our country to fill the coffers of criminal organizations in Mexico and other nations around the world.”
After the elections in November, the Tea Party needs to focus on our borders while gearing up for the elections in 2012. If the borders and illegal problems aren’t fixed, to the satisfaction of Americans, prior to the elections, then replace the President and Democrats that wouldn’t fix the problem. Focus needs to be placed on the border by the Tea Party. It is the stronges organization we have to do this. Especially since Washington won’t do it.
Ping!
A news story covering the murder of Arizona cattle rancher Rob Krentz cited www.BorderInvasionPics.com and www.SecureBorderIntel.org as proof that the border is no where near as secure as DHS has claimed. Both “BIP” and “SBI” show videos and images of real smuggling activity in different parts of the border. We are back to where we were five years ago with individual efforts solving the problem of securing the border, not large scale political or financial based efforts.
BIP contains images of thousands of different suspected illegal aliens and tons of narcotics dating back to October 2008. Over 200,000 people have visited the site to date. SBI is a little over one month old with a similar mission, adding an objective experience based assessment of weaknesses in border security and solutions to solving those problems. The experience was gained in securing over a mile of border in one of the worst smuggling zones in San Diego Sector. It takes more than just a fence, or Border Patrol Agents, cameras, sensors, or armed troops. The situation at the border is bad enough to warrant all of these elements. The U.S. government’s latest approach apparently involves bankrupting America to make entering the country illegally less attractive. This statement is not political rhetoric, it is based comments made by both elected and appointed officials who have made claims that illegal immigration is in decline due to the down turn in the U.S. economy.
The following two links will take you to the latest videos from each site.
http://www.borderinvasionpics.com/Invasion.html - 700 suspected illegal aliens on one trail in one month.
http://secureborderintel.org/Camera1-tjtaxi.html -Ten trucks each hauling dozens of suspected illegal aliens north circumventing DHS vehicle checkpoints.
Neither of these efforts solicits donations, seeks political power or membership. The goal is to expose the often covert nature of smuggling operations so Americans can make informed decisions when voting candidates into or out of office.
To my way of thinking the first person shot, the first person killed SHOULD have caused a reaction within our government initiating the beginning of the end of Mexican drug cartels violence in our country. The borders SHOULD have been secured, and the drug cartels SHOULD have been caused to understand their aggression as futile. The Mexican gangs in the cities across our country SHOULD have been rounded up, and zero tolerance made perfectly clear.
Drugs kill, and drugs screw up lives. Dealers should be treated accordingly. They should be treated in court the same as murderers IMO.
“Barbarians at the Gate...and within as well”
Time to move to Mexico.
This is why I don’t go to Mexico anymore, even though I live about 150 miles away from the border. It is also why I am armed.
