State Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, D-El Paso, noted that not only does the Juárez mayor commute to his job from El Paso, but so do other Juárez city officials.

It says something when the Mayor of Juarez and other government officials live in the US and travel back to their city to govern daily.

The Department of Defense thinks so.

Yes they do.

MEXICO TRAVEL LIMITATIONS

Due to increased criminal activity and specific threats, some directed at U.S. citizens and military personnel, the border areas of Mexico along the Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California borders are off limits.

This change is effective immediately.

Active duty, Guardsmen and Reservists on Title 10 status, and tenant units, are prohibited from personal travel to or through the Mexican border cities of Ciudad Acuna, Juarez, Las Palomas, Matamoros, Nuevo Laredo, Piedras Negras, Agua Prieta Nogales, Sasabe, Naco, Sonoyta and Tijuana until further notice.

I’m the klansman? have you seen the racism on this thread and the cop one? of course you have, but you just hate your own race as much as they do.

Ed, don’t you think you guys need to huddle and really discuss whether this poster adds anything to your blog…she only “hit and runs”, always the same acrimonious, post.
Now calling baldilocks a racist, a hater of her race, (not that baldi can’t defend herself, but using this as an example), cross the line?
I mean, she couches her posts with nothing but bigotted, racist, exclamations…look at her past posts, and you will see, nothing added, but it does “hijack” the post, and forces people to defend themselves from unwarranted attacks…she really would be better at Huffpo, or dKos, those people suit her style better.

I think the CCJ has the right idea:
“Our mission is to terminate the life of a criminal every 24 hours … The hour has come to stop this disorder in Juárez,” the CCJ stated.

What protects the maquiladoras(the cross-border factories of cut-rate products) in Mexico from the warlords?

I would think that it would not be much.

Thanks to NAFTA, we’d have a situation where the US could be funding these warlords if we didn’t take precautions against it.

How would the US protect itself from a warlord-ridden Mexico? We’d have to give serious consideration to arming the southern border to a far larger extent than any time in our history. Cross-border cooperation on drug smuggling would come to a halt….

What border would exist under such circumstances? With what or with whom would the Americans have a border? Would you have the Americans daintily line up their military forces at that “border,” carefully avoiding stepping across, so as not to give offense to the non-existent or merely titular rulers of Failed State? “Cross-border cooperation…would come to a halt”? That sentence is inane. Can you imagine how ridiculous the Americans would look, standing at the “border,” waiting for someone with whom to have some good ol’ cross-border cooperation? Do you think everyone’s eyes would go wide when I “crossed” the “border” and started doing cartwheels? Do you think they’d smack their foreheads and say, “Oh, man, I wish I’d thought of that”?

glocknroll and subsunk, do your units know what racist scum you are? and if so, you haven’t been fragged yet? shocking….

Are you advocating murder? I have got their back and you had better lay off of the racist remarks to Baldilocks. I am one person that you definitely do not want as an enemy.

It all started because I had the temerity to smile at your take-down of one of masters of the New Slavery. So I thank you right back.

How would the US protect itself from a warlord-ridden Mexico? We’d have to give serious consideration to arming the southern border to a far larger extent than any time in our history.

If we were to do it now, we’d stand a good chance of halting such a collapse in Mexico simply by halting the drug trade which is the life-blood cash flow for the criminal factions in Mexico. Alas, that makes too much sense. It would be like locking up the violent criminals in our own country in order to reduce violence, and keeping those violent criminals locked up until they could be trusted out in society.

Fat chance, eh?

Git ‘em, my dear. The discombobulated vomit coming out of Noneya’s keyboard is pretty vile.

I salute you, ma’am. Love the rest of your info at the links also.

And chaos.

Two Latin American nations are in the news today, but not for reasons they’re happy with. The first, Mexico, was the subject of a report by the US Joint Forces Command warning that the Mexican state could collapse under the……

“If you don’t allow Leftism to keep on destroying your race, you hate yourself!!! If you don’t keep on taking the Left’s handouts you hate yourself!!! If you don’t keep on murdering your babies in the womb at record pace you hate yourself!!! If you don’t keep allowing the fruits of Leftist ideology to destroy your families and your neighborhoods, you hate yourself!!!”

I bet you’re the type to cheer on the drug cartels in order to hasten the fall of Mexico, while believing that it would speed up the coming socialist Super-State. And then you’d turn right around and call both Mexicans and Americans of Mexican descent “self-hating” if they opposed the sale of seeds of their destruction.

You’re lower than a Klansman or a slave-master. Far lower.

Oh no. This racist needs to be answered.

baldilocks on January 15, 2009 at 7:16 PM

Alright, get her baldi!

HornetSting on January 15, 2009 at 7:14 PM

Oh no. This racist needs to be answered.

Yes honey, you are a modern day segregationist.

Any person who will allow herself to be defined by another is a slave to that other. And, to you, any black person who isn’t buying what the Left is selling (those commodities are groupthink, group-definition and victimhood)isn’t buying the Left’s definition of what it means to be black, hates him/herself and her race.

So sorry, but I won’t sell myself into your and the rest of the Left’s 21st century mental slavery as all too many others of my same color will and have. And if you want to insult me for endeavoring to remain free, you’re going to get it right back.

Slave master.
