Some Homeland Security!

Apparently, the need for a wall between Mexico and the United States is more urgent than most of us knew. I hope it will be okay with Vicente Fox.

Sarah Carter, a staff writer for the Daily Bulletin writes:

In the Sonoran desert along the Texas border, Border Patrol agents say they’re often confronted by corrupt Mexican military units in the employ of violent drug smugglers.

These run-ins have become so regular that the Department of Homeland Security eventually issued written directives a “what to do” list, of sorts” that agents carry with them while patrolling the area.

“These are active Mexican military that have sold out to the cartels,” said an agent in Arizona, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “We talk about cooperation with the Mexican government, but most of them seem to be on the take. The administration, the DHS, they are very hushed about this.”

Here is a “to-do list” for the Department of Homeland Security: coordinate with the first Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense! When another government’s military enter onto foreign soil without that country’s permission, it is an invasion! I might be wrong, but I would venture to say such acts constitute an act of war!

When will this administration, or any other administration hereafter, get it? Are they so worried about the Latino vote that true homeland security just is not that important?

This is sickening!

The “Military Incursion” card states: “Mexican military are trained to escape, evade, and counter-ambush if it will effect their escape.” The card informs border agents of the procedures necessary when encountering Mexican army personnel. It also asks agents to hide from Mexican military that may be operating in the area and try to “Avoid it.”

“It’s like we’re having a battle on the border that no one speaks of,” the agent said. “The Border Patrol lives in constant fear of pleasing the consulate general of Mexico. It’s one of the things that’s most mystifying to line agents ” that the U.S., which is one of the most powerful nations in the world, would cater to the Mexican government.”

We have to please the consulate general of Mexico? Why? Are we in his country? Is it somehow our fault that their military invades our country?

This so-called ‘Department of Homeland Security’ had better pull their collective heads out from where they currently have it. They are paid to keep us secured and not to cater to some consulate of a third-world country that needs us for survival!
