Why is it we never hear about stuff like this

[shotdrops286]

Wouldn't an army from another country illegally crossing our borders to help smuggle drugs be cause for alarm. I do not understand how things like this happen and both sides of our government just turn their head. Its only a sign of things to come, liberals have weakened this country to the point where mexico can now smuggle drugs with military escorts.

I read a different one the other day where Homeland Security says the reports made it seem a bigger issue than what it was and that it was a mistake. Yeah, I didn't believe that either. So that is likely why it hasn't hit the airwaves. #1 the media pre goverments request will shelve this (it was a mistake) #2 the media certainly doesn't want you to to focus on porus bordors. #3 they're trying to hide Mexico's involvement in the drug trade #4 they're trying to keep friendly relations with Mexico. Pick any or all of aforementioned.

Another act of war.

Release the National Guard.

Plain and Simple

Get them down there and start sending these people away with fire fights.

If I own property down there and I post it all with 'Trespassers Will be Shot' in English and Spanish will I be convicted of murder?

This is what it is going to take.

Well, here's something else we never hear about.

The following are excerpts from the article

Twenty-six Americans are now officially listed as missing in the Laredo-Nuevo Laredo region of the U.S.-Mexico border—in addition to the more than 400 Mexicans reported to be suffering a similar fate.

The number of American civilians missing or kidnapped in Iraq since the beginning of the war is 23 as of last September, the latest figure released by the State Department.
...................
On Jan. 3 there was a harrowing standoff with heavily armed suspected cartel paramilitaries in the hamlet of El Cenizo, about 15 miles south of here.

An alleged smuggler drove a van pursued by sheriff’s deputies into the Rio Grande and used his cell phone to call in reinforcements.

“They arrived within minutes—all clad in black, all with AK-47s—and took up positions on the Mexican bank,” recalls Mr. Flores. “They shouted to us in English—and I convey these words literally—‘You wanna play, mother f…rs? Let’s play!’ Unfortunately, we could not engage them across an international boundary.”
..........................
There is also evidence, officials warn, of foreign fighters heavily moving into the region.

The Gulf Cartel, bloodied in the turf war, they say, is actively recruiting reinforcements from among “kaibiles,” former Guatemalan guerrilla fighters. The Sinaloa Cartel is bringing in members of the MS-13 gang from El Salvador.

And there have been other new arrivals that officials say worry them even more.

Mexico has long had a thriving Middle Eastern community, but there is word it might now be getting new, possibly less benevolent members.

“We’ve had source intelligence that there are possible terrorist cells making their way into Mexico, who want to learn the language and culture and camouflage themselves as Mexicans,” said another law enforcement official, who requested anonymity.
.................
A puzzling incursion, local officials said, was witnessed in the middle of the night 20 miles south of Laredo about a year ago.

About 20 physically well-trained men, all dressed in black with automatic rifles slung over their shoulders, crossed the Rio Grande and headed into the U.S., carrying oversized duffel bags.

“They were intercepted by the Border Patrol further down. But to this day, we don’t know what was in these bags,” one of the officials said. “Whatever the cargo, these men appeared to be ready to pick up a major fight to protect it. And that’s very unusual for a drug smuggling operation.”

I still like my idea of a 50 foot concrete wall with thermal seeking .60 calliber chainguns every 10 or so feet along the wall pointed at mexico.

Does the word overkill mean anything to you lmao.

I assume you mean .50 CAL, and since your body doesnt lose all its heat right away after death, that would be a LOT of .50 CAL bullet holes per wetback.

i agree with a wall. we are so flimsy on these issues, we say we dont want drugs but the borders are literally OPEN, you can just come right into here.


i doubt it was the mexican army, most likely a cartel posing as such. but just goes to show you how big these drug gangs are!!

also in new orleans there are LOTS of drug gangs. and mexicans like that.

the again, doesnt illegal immigrant labor keep prices down? what about home construction and fruit/vegetable farming?

PHOENIX — At one time, only the staunchest advocates for cracking down on illegal immigration backed the idea of putting National Guard troops along the porous Arizona-Mexico border.

But now the idea that was rejected in the past as being outside the National Guard’s responsibilities has the blessings of Arizona’s Democratic governor and cleared one half of the Republican-led Legislature.
The public’s frustration with Arizona’s role as the nation’s busiest illegal entry point has breathed new life into the idea, with a recent poll showing that nearly two-thirds of voters favor it. “It has shifted to the mainstream political debate,” said Jennifer Allen, director of the Border Action Network, an immigrant rights group that opposes the idea. “It’s disturbing.”

I like the way you think MC, if we can do it for Mexico, maybe we can build one between us and Canada as well!
