Explosives Theft Qualifies As Near-Miss for USA
by Bob McCartyImagine tons of explosives being stolen in Mexico and then transported by truck across the border into the United States. Could it happen? Over the weekend, it did. Almost.
On Friday, according to an article in the Latin American Herald Tribune, 18 tons of industrial explosives were stolen from a cargo container during a robbery along the Monterrey-Saltillo Highway in the northern Mexico state of Nuevo Leon. According to subsequent reports, Mexican officials located and recovered the stolen explosives within hours. The thieves, however, remain at large.

But should Americans rest easy now? Not after this near-miss event.
According to officials with the Mexican industry association, Canacar, thefts from cargo trucks on Mexico’s highways increased 40 percent last year.
North of the border, officials with the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association are calling upon the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to immediately challenge the legality of the tariffs implemented one year ago by Mexico so that the debate regarding cross-border trucking with Mexico can be shifted from economics to highway safety and security.
In a news release Tuesday, OOIDA officials said Mexico has yet to fully address numerous other issues related to homeland security, criminal activity and its trucking industry.
“Too many safety and security issues have yet to be resolved. Those issues certainly haven’t improved in the past year,” said Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the 156,000-member OOIDA. “This is what officials from Mexico should be focused on, and our U.S. trade rep should not be bashful about telling it exactly that way.”

This is a case for the Department of Homeland In-security. I'm sure J-Nap will state: "The System Worked."
I still don't understand why our military doesn't "secure" our borders…!? We are at war after all…!
The military is already paid to protect the country, and are sworn to defend the Constitution. Do border guards have to swear to defend the Constitution?
I know our border guards are under staffed, under payed, and over worked…But they obviously could use some help. And help is not what they will get from big sis, and the Kenyan delegation in the Oval office…!
there is nothing here to worry about- move along…
The fifth column of Islamic terrorists infitrating the US from Mexico is HUGE. Easy to get a visa from any of the sponsor states to enter Mexico, our intel guys watch them deplane and follow their activities.
Only problem is the number. They are coming in torrents. Plug into an Islamic community and await further instruction. With an Islamicist administration in place little heat is being placed upon them.
Until they strike- again…
There is a solution, but nobody will touch it. Nobody will go near it.
If the people living on our side of the border, started stacking the illegals up like cordwood, the problem would cease within a week. Whether the number of bodies would be one hundred, or a thousand, or five thousand, it would not take long for the message get back to Mexico, and the Middle East, that those thinking of entering the US illegally, would be ill advised to do so. Desperate times call for desperate measures. It might even stimulate the border economy to start an official "season".
Sound draconian? The liberals would gasp in horror. But my solution is a solution. Putting jugs of water and shade shelters in the desert, to provide aid and comfort to the enemy, is no solution………
Ah, the benefits of "Free Trade." Forget Mexico – how about a million uninspected containers from China or elsewhere. Forget explosives, how about diseases and invasive species? Or you guy's favorite boogeyman – "terrorists."
And forget the border – these "ports" are actually in Dallas, Kansas City, etc…..
"Our" intel guys are involved in the drug trade as well as terrorism. Some of the 9/11 hijackers had mailing addresses at our military bases.
Slam the door shut and start deporting the illegals that are already here, anchor babies keeping them here or not, give each processed illegal ONE chance to enter legally, no amnesties, no watered down rules.
How can it even be considered an equitable process if one group enters the country freely and the rest are forced to follow a lawful process?
My great grandparents came to America "legally" in 1907 from Germany and Ireland but the difference is that they WANTED to be part of America and not establish a country within our country…
This is a "melting pot" not a collection of Balkan states without a common language and a common cause.
Slam the door shut.
pretty dark take there…
And in a paranoid oddball way some of it true. But firsthand, we know of intel ops in Mexico City, a hotbed for intrigue since the Vietnam war days. Soviet agents would infil through the Embassy into the neighborhoods- show up in Austin- and so on.
So they are there, and it is ongoing. No President changes what the spooks do, really, the game is the game no matter who is in charge.
So, once again a mixed bag…
We can effectively seal the border if we wanted to. Its been proven, in certain stretches. I've never understood why such a large proportion of Hispanics, seem to support illegal immigration. I mean, what other immigrant groups do you hear where their leadership either turns a blind eye to such an enormous and costly problem or worse, openly say they support illegal immigration, then campaigns for amnesty, which we all know would be a huge cost burden, particularly at a time of record unemployment? I've always found this double standard strange, between different immigrant groups, and wonder why so many politicians don't take up that argument. We currently have 10 million workers unemployed. The actual number is probably closer to 18 million. At the same time, illegals hold between 4-5 million jobs. I've recently read that illegals are flooding the southeast, not that it hasn't been going on for a while. That is setting up clashes with native-born workers, as more come in seeking work and more Americans fall out of work. My point is this is setting up a direct competition at the worst possible time.
"draconian", Dracul repeled the peaceful Muslims through means they used, but now as then those living cozy cry out fowl.
Well said!
at least mexicans are the type to stay at home and fix their problems and not run away to another country and leach off another's system. just like their drug war, i am confident that this too will be resolved.
Importing the corruption and crime in to the US – great solution.
The need for migrant workers is largely overblown. Their cost is never calculated – that is because it is foisted on the faceless citizens while the profits are enjoyed by the greedy corporate farmers.
There is a solution.
China figured it out hundreds of years ago. Their version was called the Great Wall.
The simplified version here was the fence. I have built enough fence to know that the governments version was nothing but a touchey, feely, warm and fuzzie feel good pork barrell project, with graft going to political districts all along the border. It is an unmitigated joke. One good ranch fencing contractor from Montana or Texas, could have built a fence across our entire southern border, at 25% of the cost of the few miles of fence we have now.
I could have built, and fenced the entire southern border, and it would have been impenetrable, with guard towers every quarter mile.
Once again folks, our government has failed US. They can't even protect the southern border, and now we want them to control Health Care?
I've never understood why such a large proportion of Hispanics, seem to support illegal immigration.
Because only Whites are expected to ignore race. No other race does this.
We have to spend money keeping Israel safe – Americans don't matter to the US government.
Mexico: the Somalia of the Western Hemisphere and drug and terrorist conduit into America. With a neighbor like this we have an enemy right under our nose. Another fire smolders.
not sure we completely agree, here…
we know some pretty modest farms hurting from no US citizens willing to do the backbreaking work harvesting crops is. First hand. Not greedy 'corporate farms'.
That said, you have salient points. Either we are a sovereign nation- or we aren't. If so, protecting our borders is, and should be, serious business. Try to sneak from Mexico into, say, Belize. Ain't easy…
BTW, wouldn't that be a near-hit?

Looking at the comments, I can't believe how many people agree with this guy. I thought conservative, small government types were in favor of free trade. I certainly am. Just an FYI, the OOIDA is the truckers' union who is doing everything they can (including trying to scare the crap out of us) to keep competition out. Several years ago, we agreed to let trucks from both countries operate on both sides of the border. Pres. Bush tried to fix the problem by implementing a pilot program to let Mexican trucks in, but Obama killed the program. So Mexico, completely legally, imposed tariffs on many U.S. goods. So right now we are hurting many U.S. industries and the American consumer by protecting a small number of truckers. Mexico buys more U.S. produced goods than any country in the world other than Canada, $129 billion in 2009 alone even with the recession (almost double what China bought, who is number three). You want to jeopardize that to protect a few truckers?
The Posse Comituatus Act generally prohibits federal military personnel as well as units of the National Guard from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where specifically authorized by Congress.
Since the Congress is democratically controlled and they see the arrival of new illegals as potential voters, there will be no use of the military to stop invaders.
The idea is to look like they're doing something but not actually stem the flow of future potential liberal voters.
Both parties are equally to blame for attempting to pass amnesty and grant illegals citizenship in the hopes that they will all vote for the party that gets them amnesty first.
I don't think our government likes us.
Free Trade = race to the bottom = averaging your standard of living with a billion people living on dirt floors.
Several years ago, we agreed to let trucks from both countries operate on both sides of the border.
I thought conservatives agreed on national sovereignty.
So Mexico, completely legally, imposed tariffs on many U.S. goods.
Wouldn't they just prevent US truckers in Mexico. OH THAT'S RIGHT – they aren't. Make all the idiotic paper agreements you want – reality is a different thing. No American wants to risk his life driving in Mexico so the "offer" for them to drive there is a LIE and they KNOW it. Stop playing the fool. All this "Free Trade" crap is a tool of globalists to destroy your way of life.
You want to jeopardize that to protect a few truckers?
We've seen the pattern from illegals of driving drunk down the wrong side of the road. We don't want them driving trucks here.
Since Reagan gave them Amnesty before there is no reason they shouldn't all be voting Republican IF that were the case (no one believes it is, btw.)
Potential voters? Last election, two known illegals showed up at a jobsite my brother was working at, wearing 'I voted' stickers and laughing about the free bus ride they got to the polls.
The Posse Comitatus Act is only intended to prohibit the Federal Government from using the military as a police force, or from acting in a law enforcement capacity at the State level only . However, the Coast Guard is exempt from it, and the POTUS, using the Insurrection Act, can deploy military troops (like during the '92 LA riots) as well.
The point I was trying to make was, we are at war, and one of the actual jobs of the Federal Government is to provide national defense, and to protect our borders. I don't think there is really any excuse for us to not have troops securing our border. At least until we are in "peace time" again. There are a slew of 'Acts' that a POTUS could utilize to start shoring up our porous borders, but none have seem to have any interest in that…LOL
We don't want Mexican trucks operating in the US for many reasons, not the least of which is safety.
Under the Bush 'fairy tale' program, in order to operate in US territory the mx trucks were supposed
to undergo vigorous inspection, & be certified to operate north of the border. As is par for the course
in Mx they were able to buy the certification, without the inspection. Who's surprised? Also their ins-
urance documents were mostly fake. Neither do they understand the reason for our legal set-up,
nor do they respect it. Their culture operates on a completely different plane & until you understand
that you are just pi$$in' into the wind. We have long time business relationships with quite a few Txz
truckers, & they tell us for some mysterious reason the Mx trucks are never pulled over by the Tx DoT
for inspection. I think it was because the DoT boys knew if they ever started inspecting one, from
the paperwork to the mechanical inspection it was going to be a nightmare, 8 hour job, with another
8 hours of paperwork. If they red-tag it, it can't be moved until the issues are resolved, therefor some
would just abandon the truck, load & all. Bureaucratic nightmare, anyone?
Of course obamaroid only rescinded the program as a favor to the unions, who put him in office.
Reagan learned a hard fact on that mistake and he admitted that it was probably the worst decision he made during his presidency.
I don't think anyone in Congress actually wants to control the border. It took one year and 45 days to build the Empire State Building. If we really wanted to build a fence, it would be done by now.
Makes you wonder what the country would look like today had we not taken names at the door back in the early 1900's………….I suspect America would be no more…………….
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Maybe one day we'll get the will…?
The Mexican gangs are probably stealing this to blow up Mexican police stations in between beheading people and cooking meth…Soon these sort of actions will be happening in the US, by the same people.
This Obama pipeline is one which opened up a new route into Europe, through Obama's west Africa, and into Richard Holbrooke's favorite Islamocommunist beachhead in Europe of Albania and Kosovo.
A pipeline like this invading the old European axis and Russian mafia routes just does not happen with all of the parties signing off and getting a massive cut. The only reason this story surfaced was the BBC was screeching about it, because the the British were being cut out of the deal as this should have gone through the traditional London hub and then into New Amsterdam.
The new route cuts out the British and funnels directly into the Russian, German, Italian and Greek mafias for greater profits.
It all fits in the way Obama has been humiliating and screwing over the British peoples.

i think a fence is a waste of resources. Too hard to keep intact and costly to do so.
I think our time would be better rooting illegals out and ridding ourselves of them. Make it impossible for them to get a job or benefits so that there is no reason for them to come here.
A wall only helped the Ming until a border general opened the gates. Must have been a relative of McCain…
Enrique Ortez speaking on CNN Espanol.
Mr. Ortez stated that communist Zelaya who was just legally removed from their executive branch was joined at the hip in the international cocaine trade. The evidence shown states that the Drug Enforcement Agency of the United States knows this because the Honduran Government turned the information over to the Americans.
Yet, there sits Barack Obama once again the friend of terrorists, the friend of thugs like Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega and Fidel Castro, trying to get an international drug dealer back into power in Honduras to enslave those brave and noble people.
This goes way beyond Hispanic illegals. The heart fo the matter lies in South America and the border is a necessary conduit for the drusg and other illicit items. Thats why it's really never been closed.
Most likely. Just not under thisleadership.
I think making it impossible for illegals to live here is a better solution that a fence, which is easy to vandalize and costly to repair.
One enterprising Mexican with a few hours and a hammer can do hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
Those trucks cant wait to get into the us to transport illegal aliens,drugs, and guns to gangs all across america,plus theyre going to kill your wives and children in the streets as they run them down enroute to gangland,and when there stopped you'll "no habla espanole"..and theyll get a wrist slap and get sent back to mexico to do it all over again the next day….READ YOUR NEWSPAPERS,IT IS HAPPENING NOW!!!!!CARNAGE IMPORTED FROM MEXICO..

The SEIU wants the illeagals to come here!! A lot of them join their union. So the politicains won't do anything to secure our borders. We must do it ourselves!!! But making cordwood out of them might be a little drastic!!!!
[...] Read the original post: » Explosives Theft Qualifies As Near-Miss for USA – Big Government [...]
i like your writing style btw ..
So what would be appropriate? Fire a few shots over their head maybe? A message needs to be sent from We The People that illegal immigration simply won't be tolerated any longer….
Funny how people always say that the illegals are being taken advantage of by being paid slave wages, or otherwise way below minimum wage. I'm sure some are, but my experience in California on many a construction site showed otherwise, many, if not all, were union members. Now I live in NC, and in the last 9 or 10 months there has been an influx of illegals from mainly out west, interestingly they drive very nice, late model pick ups or mini-vans. Also interesting is how they immediately have jobs once they get here, and yet many men here can't find squat.
You mean a foreign man made dangerous materials disappearance … imagine trying to talk like that 24×7
You don't even want to know about the rail systems, the bad men could get away with shipping just about anything to any major hub before Janet "Has anyone seen my ass" Napolitano got a clue.
If something major doesn't happen this year I will be pleasantly surprised.
A high voltage electric fence will fill the bill. You could even make it solar powered for the greenies. Lots of sun in the desert.
If one got caught, how many didn't?
Its not paranoia when its true.
Don't get me wrong I don't want the bastards here either!!!!!!!!!! I lost my job and my business to them!!!!!!
we do make a difference between poor Mexicans wanting a better life- as you are no doubt aware Mexico is a filthy, corrupt country that treats it's own poorly. Wanting to escape that is understandable. As is our need for migrant workers.
Something can and must be worked out here.
But, the crime, the drugs, and now the pipline for Islamic militants is a corrosive on the country that can, and will hurt all of us. What Cowboy says is a hard reality no one wants to consider, but there it is. And if we don't wrap our arms around this issue- soon- people will start enforcing their OWN borders…
Yea but it is real crap that the federal government allowed the japs to buy the Empire state building in their quest to buy up this country and worse most Americans never even knew they owned it
Putting a fence up prevents 40 million plus illegals voting against the white folks and by now people should know the obama change is all about we becoming the white slaves of United Africa States and why he is allowing American unions to take hold in the old Africa so they can have equal pay and more USA jobs outsourced there.
The new legal export for Mexico will be pot and finally obama can be the biggest dope pusher he always wanted to be
This is OK because many of the Mexican thieves voted for Obamie in 2008 so the MSM will look the other way. Glad to help. REV Wright
You know where I stand on that topic.
It is one of the few things that you and I agree on.
PEM,……..Usually the ones being cheated are working for some extended family member. The
illegals are extremely gullible, so if their cousin who runs the crew says he only got paid half
for the job they buy it. All they think about is when they can get back to Mx, they can work 4 mo
here & live in Mx for a year.
Some of those showing up in NC now may be out of the Central Valley of California, where
the Gvt shut off the water to all those fruit & veg growers, over a year ago.
You're the one making idiotic statement that have no basis in reality. There are many U.S. trucks operating in Mexico. Reality is hundreds of billions of dollars worth of U.S. goods and hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs depend on trade with Mexico. One in five factory jobs in the U.S. is dependent on exports. The facts don't lie. I thought liberals were the ones that ignored the facts and based their positions on emotions. Maybe that's what you are.
I agree. Explosives are the least of our worries.
This is not only about the Mexican border, illegals etc. This is about the HUGE drug cartel that encompasses all of South America and the United States. See one must understand that Cuba for years was the hub of the illegal drug trade to which the New York financial cartel was laundering and skimming money from for immense profits. The same Rockefeller group is linked to the same Rothschild group in Europe laundering billions of dollars in opium, diamonds, white slave traffic out of the Slavic states and weapons of mass destruction sales.
If one brushes the surface, one finds readily that Barack Obama for his Senate bid was financed by the wife of Saddam Hussein's banker through a Panamanian front. Obama's mentor in terrorist control agent, Bill Ayers is a direct ambassador to Venezuela and Hugo Chavez.
cont…..
Forget the wall; lets go WWI style and have a no-mans land on the border.Anything moves in there, it is shot.
You and me both.
There are so many Mexican trucks headed north on I-35, driving it can get scary sometimes.
Also, there is evidence that those trucks, in addition to hauling contraband often have a lot of safety issues. Of course, on THIS side of the border, we have to pay to have our vehicles carefully inspected to ensure they are road-worthy.
Yup Dhassel, you have a good point. Believe it or not we actually have FBI guys working in China, Japan and all the world trying to keep an eye on shipping containers all over the place. I had never heard of that, but an agent came to a class I was in last fall and we have alot of agents working worldwide and in Mexico. They were recruiting kids for the Bureau, we had all the "alphabets" in there, FBI, ATF, Secret Service everybody.
The main national info clearing house is here in El Paso, it was pretty interesting.
But you are right, zillions of shipping containers – too few eyeballs watching them.
Some people already have. Check out the story of the rancher who was jailed for defending his women-folk from trespassing illegals.
The game may be the same, but the outcome when they're caught and prosecuted varies as to which party is in office. The Dems tried to sneak in a real low ball today against our intel effortswhile they thought everyone was watching the healthcare summit. Powerline and Malkin have accounts.
You should hear the propaganda being shoveled out and spread around in colleges these days.
They teach against the American melting pot and "E Pluribus Unum" – it's sickening .
I can't wait for "Big Education" to launch.
HELL NO – WE DON'T WANT THEM TO CONTROL HEALTHCARE!!!
I live in a fence/wall city – El Paso, Texas. Buttressing the walls are lots of agents. That wall is stout and a guy with a tin snips isn't getting through. There is an improvement since I was a teenager growing up on the border, it takes alot more planning and criminal intent to cross over.
That said It's still a BIG PROBLEM – I want zero tolerance and zero (or as close to as possible) illegal entry. I remember when I could literally walk across the river if I wanted to, and vis versa. Of course – I never wanted to walk into Mexico!
Good cheap beer there though, we would drive over, buy a few cases and yahoo!
Rounding up and deporting illegals, and then effectively keeping them out needs to happen. The anchor baby rule needs to be revoked retroactively.
Nobody likes competition. If you think the trucking companies care about security you are mistaken. They are motivated 100% by money. OOIDA's purpose in life is to promote the trucking industry. They are a "special interest'. No different from the AMA, Bar Association, or NEA. They just hapen to represent truck operators. They lost the fight on the economic grounds, so they are switching to security grounds. Part of freedom is economic freedom. If I want to hire a Mexican truck to bring me stuff from Mexico, then I should be to that. The relentless drive toward effeciency that the public sector and unions hide from. Likewise if I want to drive my truck down to Mexico with a load of goods, I will be able to do that.
One one side you have the MECHA/ La Raza a-holes that want to take AZLAN (Southwest US) back for Mexico. These creeps are brainwashed Marxists who hate their own country. On the other side you have lunatics who want to "round up" immigrants and retroactivley rescind the citizenship of United States Citizens. This issue is an extreme fault line running through the conservtive movement. I listen to Spanish Radio and the democratic party is busy brainwashing the immigrants the the Republican Party is racist and anti-latino. Let's discuss this in a thoughful way and not give those sh*tbirds any basis in reality.
Do you remember the two border agents who wound up in jail, because an illegal running drugs got shot? They were released quite a while later, but their lives will never be the same.
If our government does that to one of its appointed law enforcers, how do you think they would treat the average Joe?
If you park a late model Ford F-250 anywhere near I-35 all the way from Austin to Mexico, it just might not be there when you start looking for it. The Mexicans are using them to haul drugs and people, and they have been stealing them left and right.
The cops say the thieves have worked out a method to easily gain entry. Sometimes they break off the ignition apparatus, and just move on to the next one.
This happened to someone I know 2 weeks ago. They broke into/stole 6 of them from just one business' employee parking lot. The ones they couldn't start, they were in such a hurry that they didn't even steal folded cash, GPS systems, Blackberries, and computers in the cabs. Cops said when the employees leave work for the day, the trucks are already in Mexico or danged close.
Just ONE reason for the immigration LAWS (not suggestions) in the U.S. to be enforced:
Legal immigrants are screened for health issues and innoculated against disease. Currently, the U.S. is seeing cases of deadly diseases, heretofore thought to be eradicated in this country. This is due to illegal immigration.
Bravo to those who are defending the U.S. in our military. Most of this site are very supportive of our military personnel.
But the immigration rules regarding "anchor babies,' were never meant to be abused as they have in recent decades. They were designed to offer citizenship to the babies of parents who were waiting to be processed as LEGAL aliens at Ellis Island, etc. More recent days find pregnant women coming into the country for the sole purpose of giving birth to an anchor baby. That was not the intention
John Hughes, film director of Christmas Story, and other notable films, along with his son, was killed by a drunk illegal alien driver. The driver was NOT Mexican, by the way.
Well, I can tell you this, Sim9. A relative had a co-worker who broke company rules and drove a service truck across the border from Laredo to do a job. Both guys who crossed the border were fired. The company did not have adequate insurance coverage for theft of the truck and tools, accident, etc.
That about sums it up.
I lived in El Paso for 12 years and it was so SIMPLE to cross at about any point you wanted to pick. Hell just go out around Fabens and pick a spot!
Your talking about NAFTA? what a damn joke that was. It completely circumvented the Jones Act. Unfamiliar with that? then you never lived around a Sea Port.
The border needs to be shut down, but not for immigration reasons. For security reasons. The largest Iranian embassy in the world is located in Mexico City (500+ employees). It is common knowledge that wheneven Iran establishes an embassy or diplomatic relations within a nation, Hizballah is not far behind. Latin America is currently being flooded with Iranians immigrating through Venezuela. Iran is aligned with and is financially backing Hugo Chavez's Bolivarian Marxist takeover of LATAM. Iran is also currently placing itself in every country that falls to this movement. Along with Hizballah. Mosques then go up and they start trying to convert and radicalize the locals. Nicaragua is the closest country to fall. They tried to take Honduras last year, but failed (God Bless that nation). Iran would love nothing more than to be able to exert the kind of influence on the U.S. border that they have in Nicaragua, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador…Not to mention, easy access to attack us if it suits their purposes.
Immigration isn't our most pressing issue on the border right now. Security is.
good fences make good neighbors.
BUILD THE WALL!!!!!
NOT surprised, TR,………even said as much yesterday on these pages, always remember
to watch the other hand
TxzRchr………….6 mo in the pokey……..that's harsh man,…….I like it!!!! If I'm not mistaken J-nap
announced the workplace raid initiative would no longer be employed, after obamaroid was
inaugurated. She may as well have announced free beer for all, in a college town.
yup, there were trails and the Rio Grande is a creek South of town. The Border Patrol has created chock points and stepped up apprehensions – but it's still bad.
You know there's an all out war going on in Juarez, with about a dozen murders PER NIGHT.
It's crazy.
Again, this is all part of the Marxist(Satanic) Political takeover of America! This is only the tip of the ice burg! Our Progressive brothers here in America have been only allowing citizenship to foreigners who are likely to follow the Marxist agenda! This has been going on well over 100 years! Remember, we the people "knowingly" voted for an Islam trained and educated black Kenyan man to be President of America! He is surprising no one who is smarter that a first grader! You rationalize, I can't! This couldn't have happened any other time in American history! Think about it! They have been teaching Marxism in our schools over 100 years too! It's not even hard to do. Just follow what well published Socio-Environmental Dr. Julian Rodder of UCONN had said, by only allowing "External" Personality Types in America and not "Internal" types, the kind that this Republic was founded upon! So, who really are the dumb ones?
JimH…….aware of Dem Pty initiatives on Hispanic radio, they are sickening………often wonder how
effective? Remind me of Rev Wright, from obamaroids church, spewing hatred & mistrust. I often
wonder if the other party is even aware?
As far as Azlan repatriotation to Mx, I believe it will be reversed. We will end up colonizing the north-
ern most sections of Mx, especially if the US economy takes a dramatic hit, & eventually the border will
dissolve or North states of Mx will wind up part of Txz. It will be a slow process, playing out over decades.
Most of the illegals coming here just want a job, a temporary job. They usually don't want to put down
roots, or do the necessary work to become US citizens. Due to Mexicos different culture, they find all the
bureaucracy to be nightmarish & ridiculous. Most don't even want to be US citizens, they just want a job
for a few months, after which they can go back home to live decently for a year or so on what they made.
Liberals began pushing US citizenship on them, in the 60's, after seeing how poorly some of them
lived, while they were working here. Problem was, it was probably real comparable with their living
conditions in Mx. But the do-gooders had to try to fix it, thus began showering them with free stuff. With
the realization of all the free stuff, they began to bring their wives & children, & the Liberals, thinking them
abusive to raise their children in poverty, wanted to give them more free stuff. To get the free stuff, so what
if they had to sign the papers claiming to want citizenship, this was the system to get the free stuff. It was
the process, so they complied. I believe this is confirmed, by the lack of follow-through exhibited by the
people who were eligible for the 1980 amnesty. It was like pulling teeth to get them to do their paper-
work. Most of them actually didn't care, or didn't want US citizenship, they just wanted a job. Leave me
alone & let me work, so I can save my money & go home. Most US born Anglo liberals believe it is their
job to save the world, therefore are/were only trying to do good. Most US born Anglo conservatives believe
in the privilege of US citizenship, but poorer economic classes of Americans resented the Hell out of all
the free stuff, so the system was slowly opened up to them. More affluent conservatives saw all the free
stuff being given away, each decade growing exponentially, & being conservative with their own finances
thought WTF are we creating here, this will lead to problems in the future. Neither group can understand,
the average Mexican illegal alien , does not want to be a citizen of the US. They just want a damn job.
I reached these beliefs after having grown up, & spending my life in a small farming town in Txz, where
I have known & worked with many hard-working Hispanics, for decades. Many of them, who have become
US citizens, are moving back to Mx, when they reach retirement age. We'll see if they stay, only time will
tell……………………………May the attacks begin!
If the mexicans are the type to stay at home, WHY are there are millions of them here in the US, both legal and UNLEGAL!!!!???
We'll spend about $6.5 Billion to maintain the fence over the next 20 years.
How about putting a bag limit of 2 per day on illegals? (kidding)
However, I think putting them to work in the US on a chain gang might have a good effect.
It is not OOIDA's function to care about security. They want to keep Mexican Trucks out of the US. There are lots of Moslems in Canada. Very Few moslems in Mexico. The guy who wanted to blow up the LA Airport tried to sneak in from Canada. Nobody is squacking about Canadian Trucks. Mexican trailers come in all the time. Mexican diver drops off the trailer near the border and US driver picks it up. Customs will not be any different. Inspection no different. This is a ruse. America is about freedom — including economic freedom. Think of that the next time you enjoy a winter salad. with tomatoes from Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. Most Mexican Americans in Texas self identify as conservative. Anchor Baby comments are BS. Guess what, lots of guys named Rodriguez and Martinez are fighting in Afghanistan. How do you think your anti immigrant comments would make them feel. It is OK to have an opinion, but rounding up immigrants is creepy.
…and meat packing plants…and rich homeowners who need gardeners and maids…and factories…
As I posted further down, we need to start arresting the head honchos and ensuring THEY do a minimum of 6 months in the slammer if they are employing illegals. That would do more to stop illegals being employed in the U.S. than most anything else. I guarantee that.
Let the Trucks in if they adhere to border inspections. The OOIDA is protecting their members from Mexican Competition. They were not formed to comment on security, nor are they qualified. They were formed to influence govt policy in a way that benefits their members. This is protectionism. Many of their members drive Volvo trucks, made in Sweden. Where does it begin, where does it end. Keep govt out of the Economy.
Thanks for you kind comments on Mexican American military serving around the world.
Also here in Colorado they drive nice new vehicals to the health clinics for their free healthcare!!!!!!!!!!!
Hear hear! Excellent post.
Well said. It seems to me that the reason the progressives want unconditional amnesty for illegals (and they are called illegal for a reason) is simply for the votes.
Well said. I wish that those who made the effort to enter the US legally would be more vocal. It is their right.
You got it right…those pesky 6 o'clock news reports showing the illegals being taken to the buses… were embarrassing. It wouldn't be so embarrassing if the honchos were right there with them!
The muslims own public school systems in minnesota, (and elsewhere) and have large remote compounds in upstate new york, No one talks about it, the story always gets buried. Maybe Breitbart can expose this.
You see, that's the problem. Immigration is leading the conversation. Once you point out the facts and and the real reason we need to shut the border…illegal immigration advocates lose the argument. I'm not going to waste my time discussing whether or not illegal immigrants should get residency. That's NOT the issue. We have recognized terrorist organizations and state sponsors of terrorism attempting to radicalize people in Latin America. We have Iran helping to spread Marxism. And we have a state sponsor of terrorism attempting to set up a platform from which it can attack western interests in LATAM and here at home.
The issue is NOT immigration. Unfortunately, once you start arguing those points, they've won. Because they've made it the issue. People need to stop recognizing this as a legitimate issue in regards to border security. No other government regards it as such, nor should we.
Our "new arrivals" will vote Democrat 6 to 1. Obammy and the Dems know it. They're in it for the
LONG haul. The Prez hasn't said diddly about the border or immigration. That means another
Lefty shoe is about to hit the fan. And the newly rammed thru HC bill will certainly eventually HAVE
to include our brown brothers. Incoming explosives will still be frowned upon, until the NYT can
come up with a rationalization. Franky Rich…..go for it

"BUILD THE WALL!"
Hell, Obama can't even build a case for his HC bill……..among DEMOCRATS!!!
