The Department of Homeland Security has announced that the border fence project has surpassed the 500-mile mark of the 670 total intended miles. That’s the good news. The bad news is, there is no definite time frame on when the remaining 170 miles of mandated fencing will be completed.
This means that it could be done in a year or 20 years or never, and 170 unfenced miles is a huge gap in our border security.
But the good news is that high-tech sensors have proliferated along the border along with more than 18,000 additional agents on the ground, which have been helpful in stemming the flow of Mexican criminals into the United States.
The bad news is the increase of violence on the Texas/Mexico border in El Paso, Texas, where numerous police officers have been murdered, in Juarez where over 1700 of this years murders have been committed of the 5000 or so for all of Mexico’s Drug/Border War homicides, in San Diego where the Mexican filth have been invading private homes looking for illegal aliens like themselves to hold for ransom, torturing and killing innocent Americans in the process.
The good news is that an explosion of violence connected with Mexico’s powerful drug cartels is killing Mexican gang members faster this year, and nearly twice the figure from the year before, according to unofficial tallies by Mexican newspapers. The border region of the United States and Mexico, critical to the cartels’ trafficking operation, has been the most violent turf of all, with 60 percent of all killings in the country last month occurring in the states of Chihuahua and Baja California, the government says.
The bad news is that hundreds of victims of drug violence have been treated at our border town hospitals in the last year, as the Mexican scum escalate their crimes in our country.
More bad news is that the Mexican government is too corrupt and ineffectual to stem this tide, and the drug gangs are winning and growing rapidly in strength.
In Mexico, the drug gangs are demanding tribute from schools, teachers, businesses, in a manner that makes the Sicilian Mafia look like girl scouts. “If organized criminals wish to extract tribute from teachers, businessmen, tourists or anyone else, there is nothing the Mexican government can do to stop them. And the United States has become numb to this norm.”
Doctors feel particularly vulnerable. When they leave their offices, they say they face the risk of being kidnapped and held for ransom, as about two dozen local physicians have been in the last few years.
There have been more Mexicans killed by other Mexicans in this past year of 2008 than Americans have died in Iraq during the entire course of the war, the rate of deaths per week is climbing, and the Mexican government is powerless to stop it. Logically, there can be only one conclusion to this process, which is that the government will topple, Mexico will become a lawless failed state, and the various gangs will fight it out for supremacy.
While that goes on, millions of Mexicans will once again try to flood into the United States and I expect Obama will let them, and they’ll bring with them their crappy attitudes toward us gringos as if this were their country instead of ours. A second massive influx of Mexicans could easily send us reeling into another Great Depression.
The most amazing part of all of this is that this entire scenario and the fault for it can be laid at the feet of just one very stupid man, George W. Bush, Pinhead Of The Universe and the most liberal President our country has had since Jimmy “Peanuts” Carter. His deliberate enforcement of NAFTA and his refusal to even slightly stem the flow of Mexican criminals into our country, his welcoming in of any and all Mexican invaders, drug addicts and pushers, traffickers of human flesh, rapists and criminals of all sorts, the sick, the lame, the lazy, the carriers of major diseases, any and all, has created this mess.
By allowing unfettered entry into the U.S. he’s created the perfect festering soup for this eruption of crime, as surely as maggots swarm into the thousands in warm rotting garbage. By creating the barrios of millions of illegal aliens in our country, he’s created the market for cheap drugs and the warring gangs who make and sell them, the market for human slavery, the market for coyotes to smuggle human flesh. He’s created the drug wars in Mexico and the 1000’s of resulting deaths, he’s responsible for the inevitable collapse of the Mexican state, and he’s responsible for the economic disaster that we’re going through now.
The good news is that George Worthless Idiot Bush will soon be out of office.
The bad news is that B.H. Obama is unlikely to do anything either.
