In recent months, the violence around Laredo and Nuevo Laredo has quieted down, and no other hit squads have been discovered.

Maybe this is why:

But “it’s like shark’s teeth,” Guillen said. “You pull one out and another one grows in.”

It’s time to kills the shark, guys…

Good analysis. I’m just afraid that someone will take such a big loss that that will trigger something. Then there are plenty of others just itching, waiting for someone to give them the go-ahead.

I’m not sure how it will play out. About half of the ‘real’ Americans are so caught up in white guilt that they believe the deserve the scourging of every minority group that wants to give it, regardless of how wicked that group is. The more I read of Mexican culture, the more I understand why it is the way it is. I do admire its tequila and its surf, however. I think its family values extend about as far as taking care of the abuelos, but they also include honor killings and quinceaneras, which signify that a fifteen year-old girl is now on the market.

The other half of America is burning to do something, but for the reasons mentioned above, won’t. If the economy takes a big hit, though, watch out.

The bottom line is that the WSJ and other big business types think that the very idea of a country is out of date. If they had it there way (and they do), anyone who wants to would be able to come here and work as cheaply as the employer wants and then leave after they’re done (wait a minute, that’s what we already have). They also want to continue to use the taxpayer class until they’re in the bottom rung of society as well, put there by paying the other costs of this brave new labor market.

But, I guess those in DC have to consider the PC factor, election time, sensitivity, what Elvira has to say, would the Mexican Senate issue another resolution to condemn America for enforcing the law…there are a lot of factors for them to consider…

WHILE MORE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER GET KIDNAPPED, MURDERED, RAPED, SOLD INTO WHITE SLAVERY…WHATEVER!!!

TAKE NO PRISONERS, SHERIFF! YOUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE AT STAKE!

I don’t think you are really advocating a civil war and neither am I, but; you stop and think about these outlaws on our southern border and then the islamic fanactics trying to get to us. What is going to happen? Are the U.S. citizens going to rise up and put a stop to this? Just asking.

No, I’m not really advocating one. I think if we all tried to do something about the problem, the business interests would immediately have us put down as we represent a real challenge to their power. Then things would carry on as before. What seems more likely is that things will just progress as they are and America will be another Latin American country in a couple of decades. In that case, given the tax burden on the middle class to subsidize their own demographic displacement by the Mexicans, most of the middle class will probably try to leave. Where they’ll go, I have no idea. But it’s insult to injury that we’re paying 35-40% of our paychecks towards subsidizing free ER visits, obstetricians, and welfare payments for people who are actively pushing the real Americans out of their former communities. It’s a sort of “soft ethnic cleansing.” As Bryan has said, our government has elected a new population. True Americans are vanishing.

It is a sort of pincer movement though, the jihadists and the Mexicans (whose grievances sound exactly the same), against the average American. Good thing immigration works both ways. I’d much rather go out with a bang than a fizzle though.

Don’t we have a national guard around here someplace?

They’re not in Iraq?

But the administration spends more time and energy locking up BP agents that shoot some POS in the ass than dealing with the issue of protecting us.

Get ready folks……It’s moving north.

that’s a nasty one, Fred5678. I added it to the headlines.

Mr. President, Secretary Chertoff, et al … WAKE THE F#&* UP!

SAN DIEGO: A Mexican businessman testified that his Mexican captors boasted they were unafraid to kidnap people in the United States as they tortured him in a suburban home.

Mexico, at least the border area, is NOT a Third World country. Try FOURTH WORLD. Anbar province is a bucolic countryside in comparison.

Instead of Katie going to Iraq, it would be much more productive for her to shine a light on Laredo. If she’s smart, she knows she’s safer in Baghdad.

and the citizen hasto take some affirmative steps toward becoming a non-citizen.

Thanks. I just thought that these fellas were kinda taking some proactive steps, like joining international crime organizations and apparently warring on the police agencies of the united states.

It’s just very discouraging.

I don’t see the public putting up with it much longer.

Public, hell! I don’t see law enforcement putting up with it much longer. Of course they will be known as “right-wing death squads” when the camel’s back finally breaks.

I think the word might get around pretty quick to the bad guys.

In recent months, the violence around Laredo and Nuevo Laredo has quieted down, and no other hit squads have been discovered.

Hmmm, did something change? Is an increased effort making a difference or should we just give up?

I found this and would love to investigate more, but my day job calls…

They currently terrorize civilians all through the state, breaking into homes, car jacking’s, kidnapping young children.
I don’t see the public putting up with it much longer.
