Hit men crossing the border?
Security is being heightened along the Southern border because of a threat that warring Mexican cartels may send hit men into the United States, the Associated Press reported this week.
According to AP, law enforcement officials would not discuss specific security measures being taken at the ports of entry, along the border or in the city of El Paso.
Chris Mears, spokesman for the El Paso police, told the AP: “We received credible information that drug cartels in Mexico have given permission to hit targets on the U.S. side of the border.”

Quote: [‘drug cartels in Mexico have given permission to hit targets on the U.S. side of the border’] That our sovereign borders are being violated by armed bloodthirsty thugs on seek n’ destroy missions comes under the definition of a war zone & we should militarize our border if our FedGov can’t protect American Citizens with our Border Patrol.
Mexico must eradicate the vermin that are mounting these invasions from Mexican soil. We are already overburdened by the economic costs created by Illegal Aliens. If the MexGov is unable to control its societal scum then we’ll have to take the initiative & just make the problem “go away.”

This is a serious situation which now faces the United States. The current President, F. Calderon has openly stated that Mexico is literally, “disintegrating”. Crime in Mexico City takes number one in most crime catagories of large cities, around the world. Twenty Million people call Mexico City home. We in Phoenix Arizona now enjoy the title of “Kidnapping Capitol” of the United States. This is thanks to the Illegal Immigrants. I am glad to see the town of Nacogdoches has a news paper with the integrity, and courage to print such information. The Sheriff of Maricopa Countty, Joe Arpaio, has been under protection for a confirmed “contract” on his life for some months now. All driven by the durg cartels from Mexico, because of his hard line approach to Illegall Immigration. The suspected “hit man” squads will more than likely come from the ranks of the MS13 Gang. A very brutal, and unconscionable group. They are a major problem along the border in Arizona. Thank you for the forum and the information! It IS needed.
Sincerely, Brien Richards Kingman, AZ

Why is the Govt putting border agents in jail like criminals but letting the illegal criminals roam the country freely. I would never become a border agent because of the lack of support from Washington DC. Now that the National Guard has more than enough combat tested Soldiers, lets put them on the border wiht the right to use deadly force against anybody jumping the fence. That would keep it legal and deter the illegals from coming over.
