Foreign organized crime has captured and now controls huge tracts of land in Arizona — why is this not major news? Americans driving on the roads within the surrendered territory are told to keep moving, that it is not safe to be there. Whatever happened to the Land of the Free?
An occasional observation of the [...]
According to the earnest liars of Washington, the border is “as secure as it ever has been” and is getting safer all the time, despite the ongoing complaints of people who actually live there. In May, the ever helpful President Obama promised 1200 National Guard troops would be sent to the border by August 1 [...]
It didn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that the anti-cartel war of corrupt failing-state Mexico was unlikely to succeed. There’s no tradition of law and order in Mexico, where many people profit from the drug trade.
Now Presidente Felipe Calderon is dropping big hints that he is losing the war on cartels, despite his serious [...]
In case you didn’t know, 2010 is the 30-year anniversary of the Mariel Boatlift, the massive exodus of Cubans to south Florida with the blessing of both Fidel Castro and President Jimmy Carter. Jimmy may have thought it would be a generous act to welcome an unlimited number of unhappy Cubans, plus it would have [...]
NumbersUSA posted this video as a tribute to our late friend who is much missed: Terry Anderson, a Fighter for America.
In addition, the piece is an excellent example of what can be done with simple video. In it, Terry walks around a park where he played freely as a boy, but he describes how the [...]

Not only that, he recently [...]
The pundits and political suits have been telling us that fewer aliens are crossing because of better policing and the bad economy. Reporting of border violence is the trumped-up hysteria of crazed conservatives, according to Washington columnists.
But today’s death count shows that aliens are still coming in great numbers despite high unemployment numbers (at least [...]
I’m not a lawyer, so I don’t understand how obnoxious MEXICO (a foreign country) gets any attention whatsoever by our American court system when the Mexicans gripe about our interior policies of immigration enforcement. It’s none of their business, period. If Mexicans are here illegally, then they are at the mercy of American justice.
(Memo to [...]
In April, I blogged about the problems of Fort Hancock, Texas, a border town an hour down the road from El Paso, which has been experiencing some difficulties with Mexican crime: Border Sheriff Says Violence in His Region Is Out of Control.
As a result of the lawlessness, Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West has told his [...]
One symptom of a failing state is the inability of the government to enforce the rule of law over territory, a problem that has been growing in Mexico for some time.
So it’s disturbing to see the United States officially throwing in the towel on some real estate near the border. Why do we spend $515 [...]
