A note from Mike Cutler about this article.

Hi Gang:

The newspaper article I have attached below appears in Friday's edition of the Washington Times and was written by Jerry Seper. a journalist who has been covering immigration and border related issues for many years. His clear understanding of the issues is readily apparent in the news report he authored for today's Washington Times.

The news article raises a number of extremely important concerns that relate not only to the dire situation that Mexico and its citizens find themselves in because of the extreme violence of the competing Mexican drug cartels, but the threat that these cartels also pose to our nation and our citizens.

Clearly these criminals have no rules other than winning is everything and, it is clear that to achieve victory, they will literally stop at nothing. The level of violence demonstrated as a matter of routine by these drug traffickers is unparalleled in the Western Hemisphere and is comparable to the sort of violence that is generally associated with Middle Eastern terrorist organizations. As the article points out, it would seem that these criminals have modeled their tactics after the tactics of those terrorist organizations.

What is also worth understanding is the fact that the cartels have already spread their tentacles deeply into our nation. Several months ago Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security stated that some 230 cities in the United States, scattered from coast to coast and border to border have been infested by members of these cartels. The culture of violence and corruption that have become the hallmark of the drug traffickers is crossing our nation's borders. This is clearly evidenced by the fact that Phoenix, Arizona now experiences an average of one kidnapping and/or home invasion each and every day! (These are the crimes that are reported- how many victims and/or their families avoid law enforcement because they are also involved in the drug trade and related crimes?)[snip]

News from NAFBPO today.

Border Patrol stops dangerous illegal immigrants

TUCSON - The Tucson Border Patrol says in the past 48 hours, they have stopped five dangerous illegal immigrants from getting into the U.S.

One of the men had been convicted for negligent homicide and another was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

A third man had been charged with felony battery.

Two others had been convicted of sex crimes against children.

U.S. military works with Mexico to fight drug traffickers
Apr. 9 [snip]
U.S. forces are also training Mexico’s military in the rule of law and human rights, skills needed to help transform Mexico’s army from a conventional force designed to counter external threats to a military waging an irregular war where the enemy lives among civilians.

About 20 teams, ranging in size from one to five people, travel to Mexico each year for short visits to assist in training, Renuart said. Most are veterans of Afghanistan or Iraq. Northern Command started sending advisory teams there about two years ago.

Mexican officers have also traveled to the U.S. to observe operations or receive training.

These people are ruthless and they are here. It seems our officials are napping, totally unaware of the dangers of not securing the border and enforcing our laws.

People understand the gang scene. But they don’t comprehend them. These gangs around the country could care less about you or your family. Life has no meaning to them. You are just a bug that will be stepped on and killed and that goes for your family. You can never talk to them and convince them to change their ways. It doesn’t work. The only thing they know is violence against you and anyone they meet. They must be met with overwhelming force and eleminated.......one way or another.

As agents clear out Mexican gangs, more brutal ones move in...

So "clear" them out, too...

Read the book “Methland” well worth the few days it would take to read it. An eye opener.

Zapata County, Texas, Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr., who has experienced the border violence firsthand, said his department started seeing beheadings in Mexico about a year after the videotaped beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002 in Pakistan.

Bush said Mexico was our good friend...

If that's the case, why is it everyone I know curses that dirty, nasty corrupt country?

Why are their citizens so damn lazy, they'd rather trash other countries laws and squat by the millions with their hands out, while destroy and undermining entire infrastructures such as hospitals, schools, jails and social services?

Why don’t we landmine the border? THAT would cut down on illegals.

Beheading was a lesson the drug smugglers learned after watching Iraqi insurgents carry out videotaped beheadings,

Whoa! Hold on. That just can't be true.
We've been told over and over and over again that:

"Family Values don't stop at the Rio Grande"
"These are all, GOOD, hard working people"
"They are all 'God's Children'"
"Mexican are very law abiding due to their religious upbringing"
So someone's been fibbing.

Law abiding, good people, with 'family values' don't go around chopping others to pieces. That's the act of a sub-human, feral animal that should be put down on sight, and with extreme prejudice.

No offense meant to feral animals.
