There was a TV series on a few years ago with the premise that major US cities had been destroyed by suitcase bombs smuggled across the border. It was a good show, but I suspect one reason it was canceled so early was that viewers realized how plausible the premise was and were too uncomfortable to watch it.Jaden Terrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113218513166921429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-76380821980929674742010-11-15T20:08:44.718-06:002010-11-15T20:08:44.718-06:00LOL, Peg.

The messages from the current administration seems to be, "We want the migration of illegals to continue because we think we know how they'll vote, and we're willing to put up with some smuggling activities to obtain our goals." Janet Napolitano was a border hawk when she was governor of Arizona. As soon as she got promoted, her viewpoint changed dramatically. She demanded an active National Guard presence when she was governor, but as soon as she moved into the Obama Administration, she resisted any National Guard presence, and then during the election cycle, ordered what I call the photo op presence only, and small at that. It's no wonder that a couple months ago ICE gave her a No Confidence vote. Meanwhile, Eric Holder is harassing Sheriff Joe as much as he can, when he's not pondering what to do with Kahlid Sheik Muhammad and Gitmo. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368973223808495975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-43075525781616373932010-11-15T20:00:11.958-06:002010-11-15T20:00:11.958-06:00I have a particular interest in the Arizona/Mexico...I have a particular interest in the Arizona/Mexico border. My sister lives in Tucson, and my husband and I have considered moving there.<br /><br />At the Writer's Police Academy held in September, I saw a film showing in explicit detail what cartel members did to someone who needed to disappear and I will never forget it. They made sure he literally disappeared. They also made sure their video got 'out'.<br /><br />It will take a group of people with more background and brains than I have to figure out ways to stop this madness. In the meantime, LoML had an interesting suggestion . . . hire some border guards from Israel.Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-3666203324462051422010-11-15T11:35:31.418-06:002010-11-15T11:35:31.418-06:00But for Border Wars on Nat Geo (I think) it would ...But for Border Wars on Nat Geo (I think) it would be all but forgotten.

As a border patrol reporter in San Deigo during the mid-1970s, I reported on the largest drug bust in the nation's history and it didn't even make the newspaper back then.Jean Henry Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146960738692672013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-39348127679430216052010-11-15T09:46:32.699-06:002010-11-15T09:46:32.699-06:00This issue is no different than our ongoing war in...This issue is no different than our ongoing war in the Middle East -- conveniently forgotten.
