The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Magic numbers never impressed me. I usually go by what I observe down here where the rubber meets the road.
According to the LA Times, during this visit Uncle Janet also said, again, that the border is “more secure than ever before.”
While I find this hard to believe on one hand, I do think the bad economy is quite probably decreasing the number of illegal immigrants.
Of course I can’t know for sure; it just stands to reason.
In the meantime, they deported more than they did last year, which either means they’re clearing up the backlog, or the arrests are being made by other than the border patrol.
Something like 95 percent of the illegals released pending a hearing never show up. A warrant issues, and when they get arrested for something else, the ICE agents in many city’s jails flag them for deportation. That’s probably what’s happening.
Yep. You said so Janet. Increased looking in the opposite direction and hiding eyes is the only thing you have increased on any border. That and federal manure piles.
I just returned from a ride to Big Bend. From Del Rio to Marathon on US 90 three out of every 4 vehicles was a Border Patrol, usually doing 90+. Don’t know what they’re doing, but they’re doing it in a hurry.
Ping!
This reminds me of the NYT article that said despite more people being in jail, there was less crime.
Somehow they couldn’t make the connection.
Using non-enforcement as a tool to prove enforcement - now that's brilliant (sarcasm)!
Politicians who think US citizens can "absorb" cartel/illegal alien violence/criminality and/or "radical" Islamic terrorism are delusional.
Terror Mexican drug lord reaches Alabama
A few snips:
. Mexican drug cartel gangs and their surrogates terror seems to have reached the County Shelby, Alabama a suburb of Birmingham. Authorities released few details in the case of five men who were found dead in an apartment. They say that men seem to have been bound with tape and throat were reduced. Very similar to known tactic used by Gangs Mexican drug cartels and their surrogates American gangs.
. United States Attorney Benton Campbell said the suspects would exercise oversight over their victims for weeks at a time. According to investigators, suspects used terrorist tactics of simulated drowning techniques (water bordering) as well as pliers applied to the genitals of the victim, a man where and when millions of remittances and medicines were made.
. Gwinnett DA said this is not a blip. This is important in what happens here. U.S. Attorney for the northern part of Georgia said, we're about to see the extreme violence that is happening south of the border happen here in America. It is more violent than it is like in Baghdad or Afghanistan. They are beheading people said Benson.
