"Nothing in the article indicates that the drug smugglers in question were Mexicans. There was a reference to another incident involving armed Mexican nationals but not to them shooting at border patrol officers."
Exactly, No knows WHO is at our borders, but some are armed
and some are shooting/killing at our agents & citizens.....
& our gov. is doing nothing MORE to stop it.
"If Mexicans violate the law, arrest them and deal with them ACCORDING TO LAW,"
BP is obviously not keeping up with the thousands that
cross illegally everday.
"It is a matter of shame that such people have to be "smuggled" across our borders."
The SHAME is that mexico continues, as it has for decades,
to do nothing for her own people. Mexico continues to be
such a crappy place that her citizens risk their lives
to escape from it.
"The SHAME is that mexico continues, as it has for decades, to do nothing for her own people." Is it possible the Mexican government has a little help from their friends in the INS, White House, and American business?
If you do the math, the corn, strawberry, lettuce, (all produce), chicken (all meat processing), farming, building, and road construction companies have decided to pocket the difference between what they would have paid Americans and what they can get by with paying illegal Mexicans.
It comes out to a very hefty profit for Joe American at the end of the tax year.
(Plus, Joe American can save even more by evading taxes by hiring illegals.)
Nah... the Mexicans wouldn't come here if the work dried up (and guess what - it WON'T).
