BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, Texas (AP) — The bloody drug war in Mexico shows no sign of relenting. Neither do calls for tighter border security amid rising fears of spillover violence.
This hardly seems a time the U.S. would be willing to allow people to cross the border legally from Mexico without a customs officer in sight. But in this rugged, remote West Texas terrain where wading across the shallow Rio Grande undetected is all too easy, federal authorities are touting a proposal to open an unmanned port of entry as a security upgrade.
By the spring, kiosks could open up in Big Bend National Park allowing people from the tiny Mexican town of Boquillas del Carmen to scan their identity documents and talk to a customs officer in another location, at least 100 miles away.

We need to be aware of the Shadow wars our government is conducting against FREE peoples in many countries...including OUR OWN. Our actions are, and have been, abominable. In many cases, we have enabled ruthless dictatorships to rise to power and the populations who have guarded their freedoms faithfully have been rendered helpless in their wake.
In this country, we are only seeing what they allow us to see. We are terrified every day by one new crisis after another, never being allowed to attain or regain our balance. Our livlihoods are being stripped away from us. Our lands and homes are being stolen. Our dreams of a bright future for our children are crushed by the heavy hand of unelected bureaucrats.
If we speak of it at all, we are maligned and deemed ‘fringe’ elements by a willing press which carefully controls and spins the message. Our children are being coopted from under our wings.
You see it. You know it. But what do we do? WHAT DO WE DO???
