From The Monitor:
A new law enforcement bulletin warns that members of drug cartels have been overheard plotting to kill federal agents and Texas Rangers who guard the border, officials in Washington reported Thursday.
The bulletin, which was issued in March, said cartel members planned to use AK-47 assault rifles to shoot agents and Rangers from across the border. It did not name the cartels…
The drug cartels control the border – that is the dirty, little secret of border security at the moment. Because we won’t commit the resources to ensure that no one illegally crosses, the cartels have stepped in to take control where we refuse. The next, logical step in this is to control territory beyond the border – up to the places where drugs, illegal immigrants and other elements of cross-border contraband are distributed around the United States. It is a business move – ensuring that the supply chain is safe and operates smoothly. And this is just the duplicate of what the cartels have done in northern Mexico…first control the Mexican side of the border, then control the territory next to the border.
And what is happening in northern Mexico will happen here – meaning, all that relentless massacre of innocents which goes on unchecked in Mexico will start to happen here. The cartels will first go after the most energetic of the law enforcement agencies and once they are killed or cowed, they’ll go after the then-defenseless political structure, forcing it by a combination of bribery and murder to allow the cartels to do as they wish. The southern regions of the United States will slip out of effective control of both the State and national government.
Unless, of course, we stop them. Stopping them requires putting whatever amount of force proves necessary to ensure that not a single, illegal border crossing can happen. Then, with their money supply vastly reduced by inability to transport goods and people, we go after the cartels, themselves…not to arrest them, but to kill them. This will be a lengthy and expensive campaign, but it must be done. We cannot allow a pack of criminals to take control of part of our nation.
Our problem, as usual, is in our leadership – with additional problem from leftist activists who don’t care how many people are murdered or corrupted…all that matters to them is that a theory about America (ie, that we’re racists who must allow all to enter because we were wrong to ever conquer the American southwest) be enforced. Obama won’t do what is necessary, and any conservative government coming after Obama will face loud protests and intensive legal efforts to ham string the operation of justice along the border. But, with all that, we still must do it – for ourselves, and for the Mexican people. Defeating crime is the primary activity of any government…if peace and justice are not secured, then the government is failing in its prime duty.
