Thank God we have 17,000 troops heading to the Gulf coast!
And every last one of them would prefer to protect our borders.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has closed a portion of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge south of the Garcia Road to public use, under authority found in 8 RM 13.5 and 50 CFR 25.21(e) effective October 3, 2006. Garcia Road runs east/west parallel to the international boundary about one mile north of the line. This area is about 3500 acres in size. Our concern for public safety is paramount.
The situation in this zone has reached a point where continued public use of the area is not prudent. The Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge has been adversely affected by border-related activities. The international border with Mexico has also become increasingly violent. Assaults on law enforcement officers and violence against migrants have escalated. Violence on the Refuge associated with smugglers and border bandits has been well documented. Many of these activities are concentrated at, or near, the border. The concentration of illegal activity, surveillance and law enforcement interdictions make these zones dangerous.
Closure is in effect until further notice.

Juarez graffiti threatens Border Patrol
“Your death will be avenged” “Your death will be avenged by the organized and mad people” “F—ing Border Patrol in the gun sights.” These are some of the graffiti messages on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande levee area where the shooting of a youth took place some days ago. (The photo below accompanied the article. The caption reads: “Demonstrators with rocks in hand shouted their repudiation at the agents.”)

Ranking Mexican senator calls for death penalty for Border Patrol Agent
Luis Alberto Villarreal Garcia, President of the Foreign Relations Commission for North America of the Mexican Senate, said “Criminal or penal justice in Texas would give capital punishment to a Mexican in a similar case of the type of close range, cold blood homicide, and it seems to me that this is what should be imposed on the border agent.” He also stated that the same sanction must apply to the ones responsible for the assassination of Anastacio Hernandez. (The taser gun case at the San Ysidro port of entry.)

More illegals caught in Colombia
Shortly after Colombian police detained five Somalis traveling in a bus in southwestern Colombia (M3 Report of 6/14/10), officers at the same highway checkpoint detained six men from Bangladesh, all illegally in Colombia, traveling northbound in two taxis from Ipiales (a town on Colombia’s border with Ecuador) toward Cali, a trip of some 200 miles.

Cambio de Michoacan (Morelia, Michoacan) 6/14/10 – and several others –
Ten Mexican federal police ambushed and murdered
Mexican police leaving Zitacuaro, Michoacan, in several vehicles suddenly found the highway exits blocked this morning (Mon.); at that time unknown assailants opened fire and ten members of the police died and others were wounded. An unknown number of the killers was also believed to be dead or wounded. A land and air operation was undergoing at press time and data on other dead and wounded was not available.
And near Los Aldama, Nuevo Leon, thugs fired on vehicles with military passengers. The eventual result: seven thugs dead.

a.b.c. (Mexico City) 6/14/10 Portions of an op/col. by Arturo Cid del Prado, titled as shown
The hot border
From the time that the Rio Bravo (Rio Grande River) has been the border between both nations, perhaps only Villa’s intrusion into American territory, 94 years ago, has provoked a moment as difficult as the one being experienced today. The two assassinations of migrants in less than 15 days at the hands of border police demonstrate the level of tension and hatred which is developing. The attack, literally in bunches, by 20 border police on a detainee who resisted being deported, and the shooting of a youth, almost a boy, for throwing rocks at the police while they were arresting his friends for trying to cross illegally, added streams of water to a glass that is overflowing by itself.
Murders are not justifiable, but if we don’t understand them in the context of a hot border it will be difficult to advance in search of a solution. Indignation is justified and justifiable, but not enough to understand, even less resolve, what takes place there. The border is no longer just a crossing by “wet backs,” (sic) it is also a zone of extreme violence, gangs, and mafias which generate an accelerated social disintegration. Mexico must go from indignation and racism toward intelligent public policies and efficient diplomatic actions, without having this imply an abandonment of the judicial process against the guilty.
As strange and out of place as it may sound, the most important thing now is to remain calm to cool things down. The issue of the hot border is not going to be resolved with strong declarations, anti-immigrant laws or presidential handshakes. It requires a different and joint way of looking at the problem on both sides and that, for now, is something that isn’t seen.

Another day at the Mexicali-to-Calexico border crossing
Among the routine northbound vehicle crossings from Mexicali, Baja Calif., to Calexico, Calif., port inspectors found that four were being used to smuggle cocaine into the United States. Seven persons were arrested, five of them residents of Mexicali. The cocaine haul added up to over 100 kilos.

There truly is, but you couldn’t see that they ALL had their fingers crossed behind their back, out of range of the cameras. “Defend the country against all enemies, foreign and domestic?” They ARE the enemies of this country, domestic classification.
Nikita Kruschev once claimed we would defeat ourselves. Reagen proved him wrong....Obama is proving him....????
We may very well see a big revolt come down the road.
Response: Governmental closure and evacuation of American land by reason of the activities of foreign nationals seems to be a de facto ceding of American territory for the use and benefit of the foreign nationals. If time passes and no effort is made to expel the aliens the territory in question could become Mexican by prescription.
Comment: The closure of American land due to activities of drug lords in my opinion is strong evidence of just how corrupt our national government has become. It is common knowledge that aliens are providing votes and funds.
There is a law in some States that says if someone uses a plot of land that belongs to someone else, and if the owner allows it over a period of time, the ‘squatter’ can legally claim the plot.
Ping!
Looks like this video is going places...
Drudge put up something. Right hand column, just above photo of Tiger Woods kissing trophy.
Thought the fish cops and the tree cops were armed........
Kind of ironic but NPR had a story this morning on a push to make Big Bend National Park in Texas part of a international park with the Mexican park just across the border. Also seemed to hint they wanted to include some Texas park land as well.
Ironic isn't it? Since Mexico doesn't even have the death penalty.
That's what p*sses everyone off. There's no reason for this situation whatsoever. All we need is a Federal government focused on it's constitutional function rather than meddling in everyone's life.
The border states should build their own fortified walls on their respective borders, just like AZ took the initiative with their law. Let's see King Sotoro I reaction to that. Right now the sympathy is with AZ no matter what the MSM tries to tell us.
Somebody remind me again...why American soldiers are dying in Afghanistan and on Pakistan’s borders...and this is happening on America’s Southern border....remind me again WHY I pay Federal taxes...and WHAT for?!!!
“Ironic isn’t it? Since Mexico doesn’t even have the death penalty.”
OMG....the irony is so thick, we could wall up the entire border with it!
