The cartels were 'hunting' on THIS side of the border. The prey were Border Patrol agents. G-d help us.
Thanks MestaMachine.

Five illegal immigrants armed with at least two AK-47 semi-automatic assault rifles were hunting for U.S. Border Patrol agents near a desert watering hole known as Mesquite Seep just north of the Arizona-Mexico border when a firefight erupted and one U.S. agent was killed, records show.

Thanks MestaMachine.
War.
Warms the cockles of Obama and Holder’s hearts if the agents were white or Hispanic.
The War On America is run from the WH.
Haha, post of the day:)
They were ‘Mexicans’? Catholic Mexicans?
With all due respect, Newt was very pointed in the humane treatment would only be applied after securing the border and then weeding out the illegal pool by very tough employment laws dealing with them. Then on a case by case basis allowing those who are productive and contributing to this country to apply for a status to keep working legally but without any rights that come with citizenship. That application would be pending a security background check they would have to pay for. Those who do not apply will be booted out.
But as we have seen with Arizona and Alabama, overnight after their new laws were enacted, the illegal flight was very noticeable. Only the most hard core criminals would have to be tracked down. That is where we make Sheriff Joe Director of the FBI, Ft. Huachuca becomes the main base for border enforcement as it was in the time of Poncho Villa and reform immigration laws to benefit legal immigration and not just another agency managed to create more work for attorneys.
Who-ever decided that “NON-LETHAL” bean-bags are an appropriate response in a combat situation should immediately be taken outside and drawn & quartered. This is just insanity.
Obviously, you missed the implication of Ft. Huachuca as headquarters for border security and I did not mention non-lethal at all. Unless I have missed something, they don’t issue bean bags with M4’s unless you count shooting one bean per cartridge as bean bags. http://www.m4carbine.net/
Maybe the mexos are cooking the bean bags for dinner. That makes the USA sooooooo sensitive to their plight.
People forget that we once had a “humane” policy, it was called the Bracero program. It was destroyed by Cesar Chavez who swore we had Americans who could do the job that Braceros signed up for. We didn’t. The result was that Food Machinery Corporation began to conceive picking machines. Hybridized seeds reduced the picking time. But, we still needed field hands. In California, once thousands of students worked the summer in the melon fields of the Imperial Valley, the grape sheds around Bakersfield, the canneries from Hayward on south. The minimum wage ended that. Like it or not, we will need Latino pickers and field hands for decades to come. And that means from the apple orchards of western Carolina to the apple orchards of the Yakima Valley. They should be scheduled and they should be treated humanely, and there is nothing wrong with saying so.
The solution for armed bands of illegal aliens....two........Predator & Reaper. The personnel in school need practical application....the border has armed thugs wanting to do harm to LE personnel....hellfires and GBU Paveways cure that desire
From the first page of the article:
Using thermal binoculars, one of the agents determined that at least two of the Mexicans were carrying rifles, but according to an affidavit in the case by FBI agent Scott Hunter, when the Mexicans did not drop their weapons as ordered, two agents used their shotguns to fire “less than lethal” bean bags at them.
That’s the point I was commenting on in general. Sorry that you took it as “stepping on your post.” No harm /No foul intended. Happy Thanksgiving
Thats what I have been saying for years.
Fly drones over the US side of the border. If anything moves, shoot it. Very simple and effective.
Obama: “White border agents acting stupidly...”
Translation
Obama: “Typical White men need to be capped”
10-4. I thought the bean bag thing was common knowledge as I learned of it just after the attack that killed Agent Terry. This story is just a rehash of the actual events that came out last January. But as with most things it needs repeating.
This isn’t about Barry Soetoro only. Its about both worthless parties and several worthless presidents proceeding Barry. They all had a hand in where we are today. Nothing will change until all the players have been put out.
