New Report Warns of National Security Threat from Narco-Mex

Serious national security experts say that the southern border is dangerously insecure, and Washington is in denial about the danger, ignoring Mexican narco-terrorism at America’s peril.

Texas border sheriffs participated in a press conference for the roll-out of a new report, Texas Border Security: A Strategic Military Assessment, written by Barry McCaffrey and Robert Scales who [...]

Obama Allows Mexican Police to Launch Operations from US

This item is definitely for the “What could possibly go wrong?” file. The idea is crazy and dangerous.

First, it is suspicious that this news was released on a Friday in late August, which makes it look like the Obama administration hopes it will pass unnoticed.

The White House spin is that the extreme violation of sovereignty [...]

Indoctrination Success: New York Times Incites Illegal Immigration Appeasement

On the propaganda front, the ridiculous idea that Mexican immigration is nearing zero is catching on. The great fount of liberal disinformation is to blame (see my analysis of the recent NYT article New York Times: Mexican Invasion Is Over.)

Michael Barone has taken the notion to the extreme in a recent opinion piece extolling his [...]

Southwest Immigration Enforcement Overlooked by Napolitano

Earlier this week the DHS announced that Secretary Napolitano would present a new plan to deal with southwestern perimeter crime, called the Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy.

When Napolitano did make her speech in Nogales, Arizona, only drug smuggling was mentioned, at least as reported by the mainstream media.

Is illegal immigration no longer an acceptable subject for [...]

Darrell Issa: Update on Gunrunner Investigation in Mexico

There’s been a lack of interest in the media about what Darrell Issa found out when he visited Mexico on Friday as part of his continuing investigation of the ATF gunrunner scandal. So it was interesting to hear a brief report from him on Tuesday.

Texas: Border Gunfire Gets State Attention

It sounds like a shooting war is forming up on the border down in south Texas. The report below describes a serious border gun battle with American law enforcement against the Gulf Cartel.

McCraw to drug runners: U.S. officers will fire back, San Antonio Express-News, June 10, 2011

WESLACO — State officials lauded the quick, heavy, multi-agency [...]

Suspicious Murder of New Mexico Rancher near the Border

Was rancher Larry Links shot and killed by an illegal alien? There is no evidence of the identity of the killer. However the 68-year-old man was shot on his property near Interstate 10, a major drug smuggling corridor.

Hopefully the crime will be solved, unlike last year’s murder of border area rancher Rob Krentz in Arizona [...]

House Acts to Take Back American Territory from Cartels

There’s good news from the House of Representatives, where positive small-ball immigration enforcement legislation was passed last week.

One example was Rep. Steve King’s amendment to fund the removal of Mexican cartel spotters located in this country who direct the movement of drugs and aliens across the border and north.

The surrender of American territory to Mexican [...]

Pictures from the Texas Border Tell a Story

Dr. Michael Vickers’ ranch is located 69 miles north of the border, which is apparently not far enough to escape the anarchy of Mexico. Vickers showed a collection of photos indicating the day-to-day horror. One example was the human skull his dog dragged into the yard. They found the rest of the body the next [...]

Rep. Bishop Excoriates Border Bureaucrats

It was great to see Rep. Rob Bishop (R-UT), the Chairman of the House Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands, tear into the border suits who defend policies that threaten national security.

The April 15 hearing, titled “The Border: Are Environmental Laws and Regulations Impeding Security and Harming the Environment?,” was an opportunity [...]

Chairman Issa Subpoenas ATF for Gunrunner Documents

It’s nice to see that Republican Darrell Issa, the Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is going after the administration on the corrupt and crazy Operation Gunrunner scheme of the ATF that delivered thousands of weapons to Mexican organized crime during a failed “sting.” We certainly wouldn’t have seen this kind [...]

Some Mexican Cartel Refugees Happily Remain in Mexico

The liberal press and others stuck on questionable victimhood have been eyeing a massive run for the border of Mexicans fleeing drug violence. In 2009 I commented about the Texas strategy for that possibility: Texas Government Plan For Massive Mexican Invasion: Immediate Surrender. Such a human flood would dwarf the disastrous Mariel Boatlift of 1980 [...]
