Breaking News: AP Reports Bomb Has Damaged US Consulate in Mexico

Prayers for those within the Consulate.

These bombings and killings exceed the reasons Obama's Amnesty plans need to be put aside. Goes to show there are some in Mexico who have nothing but contempt for America. Some are no doubt already here via gangs and drug cartels; others from Somalia (and other terrorist countries) are defnitely here and have "disappeared" within.

MEXICO CITY —

SNIPPET: “U.S. State Department employees in the area had not been victimized until last month. That’s when gunmen separately chased down and killed an American woman who worked at the U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juarez along with her husband in their SUV and another man married to a Mexican consulate worker in a similar vehicle. All three had been at the same party.”

Lindsey Graham, please pick up the white courtesy phone. Lindsey Graham....

I’m hoping that this news helps put the brakes on the amnesty bill.

[blackbart.223]

I can't think of any reason to go anywhere near Mexico. There is nothing there I need to see. Close the border, cut off tourism and let them stand on their own.

Graham is on it today!

[nolongerademocrat]

I think we should find a congressman/woman (whatever) to introduce an annexation bill to counter the amnesty bills. I think it should state that if illegal Mexicans want to become Americans they should bring their land and resources to the table for consideration as well. It’s only fair, right?

[fanfan]

Your welcome.

Thanks for your efforts. :-)

See you on the gardening thread sometime?

[Gapplega]

This is so disappointing, I thought the entire world loved the USA now that Zero is our president. (sarcasm).

[AuntB]

The US citizens from the embassy that were assassinated a couple weeks ago were targeted because the husband worked for the El Paso Jail.
The rancher was murdered because he was a US citizen land owner.

These Mexican cartels, and their supportive ‘authorities’ have declared war against US citizens.

We will lose any war we refuse to admit exists.
