Is there any doubt about what the real stakes are in Arizona’s illegal immigration law being enforced with a Mexican Drug Cartel offering a one million dollar bounty on Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s head? Fully armed Predator Drones on the border are looking better with each passing day. Unarmed National Guard troops without authority to do anything will not make a bit of difference on the border. Arizona type enforcement inside our borders will. This proposed ‘hit’ on a United States law enforcement officer by a drug cartel would have constituted an act of war in past generations. Something other than appeasement will be needed from our government after this threat to our sovereignty.
We could use some black ops.
ReplyDeleteAny actual action would be better, Charles, than sending in National Guard Troops (Unarmed and with no action rules of engagement) into a war zone like the drug cartel corridors. If we in the USA want Mexican style government corruption, ignoring citizens protection from a foreign nation's mafia is a sure way to get it.

ReplyDeleteYep, or Carles's solution.
Mexico is looking more and more like a failed state and I won't be surprised to see more pirates in the Carribean either, just like Somalia, and with the same links.
You're right, Bernita. Mexico's inability to prevent terrorist infiltration along the border and our refusal to do so could mean disaster on an apocalyptic scale.
