Armed Military Incursion across our BORDER?

[dodge freak]

Thanks-I have too price it out first and then see how I am doing in a few months. If I go it be in March-don't care if its spring break, not that old yet-went to Miami a few years ago in Dec. came back home it was 10 below zero-I never felt so cold. If I wait till March then its 45 -50 degrees when I get back. Yeah I know thats freezing to you.

i read the logs of visitors to the condo where we stayed and the visitors in march bitched that it rained there their entire stay of two weeks except one day... rain in hawaii isn't really "rain" it's more like a water-fall everywhere.

[dodge freak]

Wow -thanks again I hate rain.

....people all speak Spanish-yeah I know its my dumb ass fault not knowing anything but English

Perhaps you could vacation over in India for a week or two come next spring?  It was once part of the Bristish Empire so I am sure they must speak English there.   

I know someone who had always wanted to go there...got off the plane, took a look around the airport, and got on a plane back home. No kidding.

If you're going to give the world an enema, you stick it in Calcutta.  India is horrible.  I've been there a couple of times.  And the people's heads are about as goddamned impenetrable as that wall you're talking about building along the US-Mexico border.  Don't get me friggin started on that cesspool of a nation.

I knew it happened, but thats a bit scary to have mexican para-military types doing armed incurions into the El Paso are. My house is in El Paso and I am going back home in two months. I wouldn't want my wife driving east of El Paso anymore. I-10 runs right through El paso and is the major highway to get to the real texas. We even have FT. Bliss in the middle of El Paso and they still do the incursions.

I kind of doubt that Mexican "para-military types" are any more dangerous than our own Boy Scouts armed with sharp sticks.

Los Zetas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Los Zetas are Ex- Army Special forces, regular troopers, police agents and common criminals who work for Osiel Cardenas in the drug trafficking business. Some have received special-forces training under the U.S. Army at Fort Benning, Georgia . The members with military backgrounds can be considered mercenaries working for Mexican drug cartels. The name Zeta, comes from the Code Z 1/ 2... used by the police (which it means person in charge of the territory "plaza")

The powerful "Narco" Joaquin "el Chapo" Guzman (Sinaloa cartel) is a rival of the Zetas' employer Osiel Cardenas (gulf cartel, currently in prison). These two cartels are waging a war for the territory "plaza" of the city of Nuevo Laredo.

Los Zetas are known to be extremely violent and have been blamed for an outbreak of violence along the border.

Maybe we should take a lesson from the Israelis........Storm the border with the 3 Infantry & The 101st Airborne Division, Smash everything that has to do with the Mexican Govt & the Cartels for 100 miles and establish a new border......a border with no towns/cities on the other side for miles. 

And then make that buffer zone a wildlife sanctuary......Introduce African species such as Zebras & Wilderbeasts.....and all the BIG CATS who prey on them. I wonder if that would cut down on people wandering across the desert trying to get in to the US. Oh, and as far as the drug runners/mules & the people who help others get into the US for bookoo $$$$$$,  Put a dead or alive price on their heads and sell tags to all the local hunters & ranchers.

Yea , it all sounds extreme, far-fetched & out of the question.........But take a good look at the world around us. Much of the world thinks of us as nothing more than a schoolyard bully. There is no doubt that our military can walk the walk........its our leaders in both parties that have let us down time and again. Since Viet Nam, The leadership of this country has failed us all when it comes to taking care of the "real" little bullies. And now, 42 years later , after the first American Boot hit the mud in South East Asia, our fighting men & women [and the public] are paying the price for the spinless leadership that we have chosen to send to Washington.


I Wonder what Jefferson, Lincoln, Teddy, FDR, Eisenhower or Reagan would say about the State of our Union??

ok, I'll shut up now.

[dodge freak]

Yeah but that might actually work ! Cut way down on drugs coming in from Mexico , good old Wal -Mart and others will be short of workers. No more millions being spent to watch over the border. No , better to just say we don't like it ,then to actually take care of the problem.

I kind of doubt that a bunch of pocket protector-sporting aerospace engineers are any more dangerous than our own Boy Scouts armed with sharp sticks.

I'm mexican, not black.

[dodge freak]

I am not either and they both sound good to me.

The immigration problem is one of my biggest gripes with the current administration.  And I voted for it twice.  The fact that we used to at least make an attempt to arrest illegals and now let most go free rather than deport is abhorrent to me.  I have nothing against mexicans, as long as they obey our laws and attempt to get in the country the legal way.  But if you come in illegally they should all be sent back to the furthermost southern point in mexico rather than the northern border where they turn around and try again within a week. 

We need several walls along the mexican border, there ought to be a 15 foot high chain link fence topped with razor wire, then 30 yards of minefields in front of a 20 foot tall concrete wall (6 feet thick) also topped with razor wire, electified with monitoring that ups the voltage if anything is noted within range.  it would allow us to do something with the millions of mines we dig up in afghanistan and around the world, and after the first 20 or so blow up there will be alot fewer trying to walk across.  Leave the bodies to rot on the border as a warning to others that wish to try. 

We tried the amnesty solution in the 80s and that did not work, in fact it only made the problem worse.  Anyone that wants to give amnesty should be voted out of office. 

Regarding the armed excursion, it has been reported on repeatedly over the past 2 years on various occasions, but the goverment isn't doing anything about it.  I find that disturbing.
