The price of accommodating Mexico

The Mexican government continues to oppose enhanced U.S. border security while Mexican cartels smuggle thousands of criminals and terrorists into the United States. The Obama administration continues to tolerate this national-security nightmare out of fear of offending the Mexican government and its allies in the National Council of La Raza.

Mexico's opposition to border security is rooted in the flow of money back to Mexico from the 20 to 30 million Mexican citizens working in the United States. ... over $25 billion in 2007 – has led the Mexican government into an unholy partnership with the drug cartels. Both want open borders, and paint the American concern for border security as racist and "anti-Mexican."

What most Americans do not understand is the drug cartels control both drug smuggling and human trafficking ; they work for the cartels, and the cartels set the prices and make the rules.

(OTMs) are also smuggled across the border by the same networks. Individuals from Brazil, Egypt and Nigeria pay $5,000 to $10,000 each.

The terrorist organization Hezbollah is operating in Mexico and Latin America and is paying the drug cartels big bucks to get its agents into the United States. "High value" individuals from Pakistan, Yemen, Iran and Afghanistan pay from $20,000 to $50,000 to Mexican cartels to get into the United States.

If 15,000 to 25,000 individuals from terrorist-friendly countries are coming across our borders successfully each year, that means that since Sept. 11, 2001, most likely over 200,000 such individuals from terrorist-friendly countries have crossed our southwest border and are now residing in our communities.

Last year, 200 agents were moved from the Tucson Sector to the Canadian border, and Obama is planning to reduce total manpower in the Border Patrol by 2,000 in the coming year.

Come on, Tom - you know those aren’t the real reasons.

We have a tacit agreement in place to accept any and all of Mexico’s poor and malcontents to reduce the risk of a Communist revolution there. The government feels that any collateral damage illegals cause will be tiny compared to having an active Communist nation as a neighbor.”

True, but either way we’re doing the bidding of the Mexican government and the likes of LaRaza.

And our own corrupt politicians. Lots of money in this sad game.

Good point - it could be leftover (unexamined) cold war response ...
