Report from the border
A Mexican drug runner, on the U.S. side of the border, was driving a pickup truck loaded with 1,500 pounds of marijuana. When a Border patrol agent confronted him, he ran over the agent! Happily a second BP agent shot the guy. First agent is okay. Drug runner is in an El Paso, TX hospital. This was the 20th Border Patrol agent accosted this year. (It's only February!) Haven't heard if the BP shooter will be arrested.
Two Mexican law enforcement officers are murdered by drug cartel operatives . The Juarez, MX Chief of Police is told if he does not resign immediately, they will kill two more of his officers every 48 hours. He could not do this to his men. He resigned.
Two more Mexican journalists who wrote about the violence in Juarez fled to El Paso seeking asylum. One said, If I were in Juarez today, I would be dead.
Hey, Barack... forget about Afghanistan. We need those 17,000 troops in El Paso, TX.

Gotta tell you, I'm not crazy about where you live these days.
ReplyDeleteIf the cartels win, and the government falls, there are going to be millions of refuges streaming across that border. You're way too close for comfort.
