Mexican Army Supporting Drug Smugglers
For anybody who still doesn't believe we don't need to secure our borders, check out this report on CNS News:
Gun-toting members of the Mexican military are crossing regularly into U.S. territory, where they are partnering with drug cartels and criminal gangs to protect sophisticated smuggling operations, according to Texas sheriffs and lawmakers.
The gist of the problem is that the Mexican Army has sided with the drug cartels and have routinely crossed into U.S. territory, running interference for the smuggling operations, interdicting our border and law enforcement officers efforts.
They are using fully automatic weapons and military equipment, including Humvees, and have been known to fire upon U.S. officials to protect drug shipments.
More than 200 incursions by the Mexican military of the U.S. southern border have been documented since the late 1990s, Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) said in an interview."Our federal government denied it occurred until the Texas sheriffs took photos," he said. "There is no nation in the world that would allow this invasion to occur except for the United States."
Sounds like it is time to bring some of our troops that are currently occupying Germany home and posting them on our southern border. Unfortunately, I have my doubts that this will happen anytime soon, especially now since the Democrats control Congress.
In the meantime, our law enforcement officers on the border have to contend with drug runners protected by heavily armed Mexican soldiers, many of whom are believed to have been trained by (and in) the U.S. to fight the drug cartels. It is apparent that the lure of easy money has drawn many of these soldiers to perform these acts which are not only criminal in nature, but also constitute an act of war by Mexico against the United States.
No other country in the world would tolerate such acts. Why should we?
Samaniego recalled another Mexican military incursion he said had taken place in Santa Teresa, N.M., located across the state line from El Paso. Mexican soldiers in two Humvees "chased after" a U.S. Border Patrol agent until backup arrived while another U.S. agent also came under gunfire, Samaniego told Cybercast News Service.
Mexican soldiers chasing OUR Border Patrol agents? This should not be tolerated. Putting up a wall may stem the tide of illegal immigrants entering the United States. It may even help guard the border from these acts of war. However, there is nothing like placing a couple of divisions of troops on the border to get the message across to our "friends" to the south that these incursions will no longer be tolerated.
