How’s It Going Down At The Border?
Well, the answer to that is, there are more problems than illegals: Border Proves No Obstacle for Mexican Cartels
Drug smugglers parked a car transport trailer against the Mexican side of the border one day in December, dropped a ramp over the security fence, and drove two pickup trucks filled with marijuana onto Arizona soil.
As Border Patrol agents gave chase, a third truck appeared on the Mexican side and gunmen sprayed machine-gun fire over the fence at the agents. Smugglers in the first vehicles torched one truck and abandoned the other, with $1 million worth of marijuana still in the truck bed. Then they vaulted back over the barrier into Mexico’s Sonora state.
Despite huge enforcement actions on both sides of the Southwest border, the Mexican marijuana trade is more robust — and brazen — than ever, law enforcement officials say. Mexican drug cartels routinely transported industrial-size loads of marijuana in 2008, excavating new tunnels and adopting tactics like ramp-assisted smuggling to get their cargoes across undetected.
Isn’t that great? And, if you read the article, it gets even worse. Will President Obama do anything about this?

(more problems “than” illegals)
regards.
Shoot – to kill – on sight.
Result? Dead smuggler/illegal alien. Purpose? Object Lesson.
Make sure the press gives it lots of play and make sure they know it is our policy to enforce the border at all costs.
And make sure we outgun the bad guys.

We better not do anything about securing the border because that will hamper cheap illegal labor from arriving to work at U.S. businesses.
