Border Wars

Recently I found some new and interesting info relating to the activities of the Mexican gangs just south of the US-Mexico border. First go to this link and read the story:http://tinyurl.com/3mm7q3r

After reading this I want you to know that when I worked the Border we had vehicles called "War Wagons" that were reinforced with metal and iron so that Border Patrol Agents and those inside were protected from other illegals throwing rocks when working close to the Border Fence.

I'll tell you this, these actions by the cartels surely tell us that we do need the presence of the military and their equipment on the Border. These new and enhanced vehicles built by the cartels are being used against rival gangs. They can also be used against the Border Patrol in not only getting people into the US but also drugs and anything else they want to bring in.

As the situation down south continues to worsen the situation on the Border will also get worse. The presence of the military would be the only thing possibly able to stop these cartels.

Our military is stretched to its limits due to all the peace keeping missions now underway. By shifting our military back to the US and placing them on the Border makes the most sense plus providing us the ability to finally protect our borders.
