Armed Mexican Troops crossing the boarder and shooting at the US Border Patrol?

I know that the this isnt Mexican Governmental orders - these guys are privateers. Regardless or especially because of that fact, they MUST be stopped. They need to have MK19's raining fire on them. Shooting at our guys? Maybe I should take my next job as a Border Patrol agent!

Pobrecito Estados Unidos
So far from God, so close to Mexico.
Incredibly, there is no difference between the Dems and the Repubs on this. They both favor the illegal Mexicans over the US citizens because they make better sheep. Am I wrong? Ledbetter |

question...why not close the border? why keep on diluting this countrys soul with immigrants who provide no use to society? this isnt a racist comment, but a humanitarian one. conditions in this country for all the illegal immigrants who work low paying jobs, live in horrible conditions, and turn to crime in order to survive shouldnt be our problem to deal with.
so what if mexico is overpopulated and there are no jobs, and their lives are in danger? that isnt anyone in this countrys problem to deal with. shut down the border to ALL immigrants, legal/illegal. solve the problems here with our own people of poverty, hunger, drugs, crime, then let productive immigrants move into our society. sure it will never happen, but i like ranting every once in a while.

Seems to me mostly a (probably vain) notion to court the Latino vote, this year and more importantly, in 2004.
Any thime we make any sort of rational effort to deal with illegal immigrants--regardless of origin--the mantra of "racism" erupts from the Latin political organizations such as LULAC or La Raza Unida. You should pardon my cynicism, of course. , Art |

I understand the political price to pay with immigration issues.
But this isn't immigration. Our troops could monitor and observe the traffic. Report tresspassers to the Boarder Patrol and what not, but generally just keep quiet. Until they oberserve anyone or any group with weapons. Then they attack.

Armed Mexican troops coming into the US.
How typical. And where is W on this? Saw today where there is a tractor trailor load containing 100 drums of cyanide hijacked by armed men just north of Mexico City in the last 24hours. Where it is now is a mystery. DPS and New Mexico police on high alert. Anyone care to guess what wonders our "best partners against terrorism (Mexico)" will be sending us next. Heck how much worse can it get. And where is W on all this. I hate to say it but it looks like he is willing for many Americans to be put at risk (or worse) before he takes decisive action. Dissappointing performance from a guy I had high hopes for. S-

I KNEW we should have bought the Berlin Wall when it was going cheap!
Until some form of morality can be reinstilled in DC (yeah, right!), both sides of the aisle will covertly welcome their "new constituents".

"This has been going on a couple of years now."
I was going to say something like "Your Kidding!" but I know your right. It's the growing latino vote isn't it? That Clinton apologist was on Fxnews last night and mentioned something to that effect. Latino's should be just as mad as I am. They are contributing to the anti-immigration opinion by ignoring this issue, sueing the US government... and just acting as if they have every right to walk on over. Next thing is they are going to demand reperations because they sold us the country too cheap! AND I LIKE Latinos! I came --><-- this close to marring one!

I think Larry Pratt has the right idea, and this is an ideal application of his suggestion. Get the Arizona, New Mexico, Texas militias organized, and get them into operating bases along the borders. Offer prizes.

Rep.Tancredo is 100% right on this immigration issue and yet is constantly attacked by all sides.The U.S. should have at least a division stationed along the Mexican border with strict orders to do whatever it takes to keep out illegals.

Stolen truck
I saw it on the Fox News Internet site yesterday and on the Dallas channel5 website too. It was a news line tab on the home page of MSN yesterday.
It was on the news here in Big D yesterday. Haven't heard any news today. S-

Airstrike their asses!! It'll be good training for real conflict. I second closing the border. I can't imagine what it's like for the ranchers in Texas. Anyone a rancher here?

Maybe the locals should shoot back. Maybe the locals should find where they usually come across and wait for them.
There is no training like live fire training.

Mexican soldiers are one thing, illegal aliens is another, and drug smugglers is another.
Illegals are being hired, sounds like the businesses that are hiring should be reprimanded. Drug smugglers should be imprisoned in a facility along the border. Mexican soldiers should be detained and or nuetralized depending on what they are doing. The illegals are here for the work, if you want to stop the mass of peoples from the south coming here, you all need to boycott the busineses that hire them, PERIOD! The scum in DC, sure as hell aint going to stop them. Waterdog |

Migratory farm workers, is no longer the majority of immigrants from the south.
The majority of hotels/motels throughout the west and south west hire immigrants. Most fast food, places use immigrants. Construction, at least in AZ, is about 50% immigrant. Here lies the problem, people want to bitch about the situation, but just like the gun issues, most are just lip service. Go to Vegas, and see if you can find a casino that DOES NOT hire immigrants. This topic is brought up every week, and the same comments are made, yet, very few will take the steps neccessary to solve the problem. Boycotting these businesses would be the most effective way to attack the problem. Just like everything else in our society, hit them in the wallet, and watch what happens. IMHO Waterdog |

nsf003 says "is anyone a rancher here" and the answer is "no" but I can tell you some ranch happenings along the Texas border.
Some good friends have a ranch up in Starr County and I hunt there frequently. The deer, hog and javelina hunting is good but the area is on a major thoroughfare for illegals and drugs. Their fences are cut regularly as vans full of illegals quickly pull up, cut the fence and then sprint out of sight. They have actually seen pack trains of men carrying odd shaped backpacks who come out of the brush, cross the road and continue off on the other side. The illegals have a trail out to Agua Dulce (Sweet Water) where my friends have a stock tank for the cattle and the wildlife. Thats where they water up before heading north. One night, I shot a deer exactly at sunset but it took off into the brush. Not unusual but I wouldn't expect it to go far. I left my rifle in my truck and started tracking into the brush with only my flashlight. I couldn't find the deer so I called ranch headquarters on my cel phone and asked if they could send out their hired hand to help me as I didn't want to "waste" the deer by not finding it. As it turned out, I found the deer and had it dragged out before any help arrived. When I returned to the ranch house and related my story, my friends went deathly white. They said "you went out THERE in the dark"? I told them I had to to find the deer and they said I was crazy to be in that area in the dark due to the armed coyotes leading the illegals and the armed drug gangs. I told them I was carrying a .454 Super Redhawk and wasn't going to let a bunch of drogaderos keep me from my deer and I meant it. It may sound like bravado but I refuse to be intimidated by a bunch of Mexican bandidos in my own country. |

My ranch isn't on the border, but my home is. Well, about eight miles from the Rio Grande.
Downstream below Del Rio, the drug smugglers have M16s and night-vision gear. In a few places, they have bought out riverside ranches, offering about twice the actual sales value. You have a choice about selling: "Oro o plombo." Gold or lead. Drugs are brought over at night, and trucks move across ranches whether the ranchers approve or not. No law-enforcement entity can or will provide assistance. Local law can't because of a lack of manpower; the feds don't care. What's a rancher gonna do when he's facing a dozen M16s? Call Hillary? In my area, marijuana is brought over by burro train from Santa Elena, Mexico, and hauled up north from the river some 15 to 30 miles. The train, the money-man and the buyers meet; the deal is done, and away they all go in their separate directions. Narcs don't work off-pavement. Commonly, the narcs or INS at the check station north of Presidio, Texas on US 67 will catch a Mexican National in a 15- to 20-year old pickup with 50 or so pounds of marijuana. They haul him off to Marfa to book him, and a following vehicle gets on its radio to tell the Big Hauler that the coast is now clear for that Winnebago (or whatever) with some 3,000 pounds. Been that way for 30 years that I know of, and the feds ain't figured it out, yet. Southern Arizona is lined with coyote highways across country, readily identified by the (really!) tons of trash tossed by illegals. They will cut poly-pipe to get a drink of water, which often winds up with dead cattle because a tank ran empty and a trough no longer was refilled... And if any individual takes rational action, the Mexican Government screams, the newsies go berserk, and the guy who's merely defending his property is castigated at all levels of our government. And don't ever believe anybody inside the Beltway gives a rat's patootie. Art |
