Can Mexican Wall Protect Against Drug Wars?

In recent days the dangers of Mexican drug cartels have been spotlighted in the media as well as what should be done about them. While Mexican drugs are smuggled into the United States, large volumes of cash and weaponry are being smuggled in to Mexico.

When asked if the President would be willing to commit to putting National Guard Troops on the U.S.-Mexican border, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, “The president has committed to reviewing those requests, I don’t know of a timeline of a recommendation or a decision on that, but I know that he will certainly take their (request) under advisement.”

“Committed to reviewing”? He decided in less than two months to spend more money than all the other

presidents in the history of the United States of America combined. Why is it so difficult to put The National Guard on the Mexican Border? These drug smugglers are armed to the teeth; assault rifles, machine guns, flack jackets.

The two deadliest drug cartels in Mexico field around 100,000 of what could only be described as foot soldiers.

The danger keeps growing; The Washington Times puts it in perspective.

The death toll dwarfs that in Afghanistan, where about 200 fatalities, including 29 U.S. troops, were reported in the first two months of 2009. About 400 people, including 31 U.S. military personnel, died in Iraq during the same period.

“Some recent Mexican army and police confrontations with drug cartels have resembled small-unit combat, with cartels employing automatic weapons and grenades,”

Building The Great Wall of Mexico

This is enough to convince me, in addition to more National Guard troops I think we should build the Great Wall of Mexico. Not just a fence, but a Wall, a wall from the Texas Gulf Coast to the Pacific shores of California. A structure to rival The Great Wall of China.

This would not only keep out illegal immigrants that our economy can no longer support, but it would eliminate drug and weapons smuggling, it would also separate the American populous from a literal war zone. And prevent Weapons and cash from being smuggled into Mexico from The United States which is a tangible and growing problem

This wall could be patrolled with armed border soldiers and modern sensory equipment, a new military base should be established on the wall by which surveillance aircraft like the (predator drone) could be launched  to patrol the border.

President Obama said that he intends to help stimulate the economy with millions of new construction jobs, this project would help create some of those jobs. Through out the Great Depression our government initiated some of the largest construction project in history such as The Empire State Building, and Hoover Damn.

Weapons Seized at the Mexican Border

The National Guard would beef up the border patrol while construction is in progress. The weapons confiscated at the border from gun runners and drug smugglers could probably equip all of our border troops. We have already seized massive weapons caches, these troops could get these weapons out of the hands murderous drug smugglers that could otherwise be used on innocent civilians.

How many jobs would this undertaking create? Consider the National Guardsman in this as well as the construction workers.

This would be much more constructive (no pun intended) than Hillary Clinton apologizing for our role in the escalation of the drug trade.

So far President Obama has yet to offer any specifics of his plans to control the Mexican border drug trade. All the while knowing that Congress has already passed a bill to build the fence in 2006. As explained by Opposing views this project was for a 700 mile long fence, not long enough to span the entire distance. They also have not yet funded this program in a congressional budget. Why hasn’t President Obama funded this? He’s funded everything else.

President Obama is in such a frenzy to advance his liberal agenda but he won’t protect citizens from harm spilling over from the Mexican Drug Wars.

Its a Cracked World!

Nancy Pelosi Supports the Immigration Double Standard

Immigration, Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Mar 22 2009

The Mexican immigration laws create a glaring double standard in the treatment they give their immigrants versus the treatment they demand from us when they immigrate to the United States. They don’t treat their immigrants with any respect. If you immigrate to Mexico you will be a second class citizen even if you immigrate there legally.

After a comment on my previous entry called Nancy Pelosi and her Un-American Speech to Illegal Aliens I felt compelled to write a follow-up entry to the response I received from some one who calls himself John Druley. John ended his comment with a suggestion that Nancy Pelosi “move to Mexico and see how far she gets.”

I began to wonder exactly what it would be like.  I knew that it wasn’t the gravy deal that they get when they

sneak into The United States but hadn’t seen a lot of statistics on the subject.

So here are a few facts I dug up about immigration and Mexico:

  1. U.S. citizens are not allowed to own property within 50 kilometers of either coast line.
  2. Those not of Mexican decent are NOT allowed to become citizens of Mexico with out first denouncing their United States Citizenship.
  3. Those unable to become legal citizens of Mexico are not allowed to vote in Mexico.
  4. Immigrants from the United States can be abruptly deported for any reason (with out a hearing).

These Mexican laws were found here the writings are rather long winded but plain enough, see for yourself if you like.

None of these restrictions and or conditions can be found in The United States’ immigration process. In fact in regard to number 3, there have been movements from the left like Pelosi who want to allow these illegal immigrants to vote in U.S. elections even though they are not legal citizens. As for item number 4, Mexico can deport an immigrant for any reason almost immediately. But when ICE, raids a work site or “kicks in a door in the dark of night, as Speaker Pelosi put it, the Alien in question DOES get a hearing before being deported and are often released in good faith. Many of these people never appear in court for their hearing they just disappear into the population and continue to dwell within our borders illegally.

In fact one of these illegal aliens became quite popular last fall during our most recent election cycle. Barack Obama’s illegal alien aunti Zeituni Onyango (who still remains on the loose after years of evading her deportation order): Onyango, of course, could not be reached for comment. Read more about it here at Michelle Malkins’ blog site.

Of course despite of the double standard Mexico has imposed on others they their trespassing citizens still enjoy the red-carpet entitlements; They are eligible for public education, public housing, medical care in any hospital, scholarships and other entitlements like food stamps.

I think either the Madam Speaker didn’t do her home work or just doesn’t care about us Americans as much as she does illegal aliens who might actually vote for her with the help of ACORN and the ACLU they will all be able to vote in the next election I expect.

I would advise Speaker Pelosi to be careful on this endeaveur becasue their are more Natural Born American Citizens than there are immigrants, and lots of us are getting really upset with her and those that share her view point on these kinds of issues.

The fact that people like her get elected and re-elected is a testament to the Cracked World we live in.

Nancy Pelosi and her Un-American Speech to Illegal Aliens

Immigration, Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Mar 19 2009
WASHINGTON - JANUARY 04: Speaker of the House...

On March 14th, Nancey Pelosi spoke in front of a group of immigrants both legal and illegal. The House Speaker told the crowd that ICE agents performing raids on the homes of illegal aliens was un-american.  According to the Speaker of the House of Representatives; voted into office by Americans that the enforcement of American laws passed by our Congress and signed into law by presidents elected by Americans is un-american.

In her visit to St. Anthony’s Church, in San Francisco, on Saturday she addressed her audience and said:

“You are special people. You’re here on a Saturday night to take responsibility for our country’s future. That makes you very, very patriotic.”

Very Very Patriotic!?!?

If they’re so patriotic why don’t they become citizens of this great country?

  • They don’t abide by our laws
  • They don’t, or won’t speak the English language
  • They won’t assimilate themselves to our society
  • They don’t pay taxes
  • They don’t serve in our military and protect our country

They broke our laws just by entering our country when they did so illegally. This is against the law, illegal aliens want to live in our country but bring their country of origin with them and practice their home land customs here. OK fine go ahead but you also must embrace American customs as well. Speaking English is a start. How can you be a part of this great society when no one can understand you and you can’t understand any one else? I’m not saying they’re cowards but they can’t be found so unless they volunteer they don’t join the military.

They don’t pay the taxes that American citizens do.  Vice President Biden once said that paying taxes was patriotic; so if they’re so patriotic why aren’t they paying taxes?

A Foxnews report went on about the Un-American speech:

“Who in this country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of the night and sending a parent away from their families?”

“It must be stopped….What value system is that? I think it’s un-American. I think it’s un-American.”

I am assuming she repeated that because her audience doesn’t speak English very well.

“We think that families are the cornerstone of our society and our nation, and an immigration system should preserve those families, not destroy them,”

She had to take her shots at ICE activities on work site enforcement and the rant continued: “We have to have a change in policy and practice and again … I can’t say enough, the raids must end. The raids must end. Again repeating herself to her audience, I guess to make sure they understood her.

This is not the only time that Speaker Pelosi has made herself look stupid.

This is the same woman who claimed the Catholic Church has been indecisive about it’s stance on abortion. This couldn’t be farther from the truth and she was chided by Archbishop Charles Chaput as well as other figureheads of the Church.

She also once said that if we utilized Natural Gas to a greater extent we wouldn’t have to rely on fossil fuels so much. News flash! Natural Gas IS a fossil fuel!

The California Congress woman is a disgrace and an embarrassment. And now she has proven that SHE is un-american.

The solution is plain and simple to me; take away the entitlements (the free food, the free healthcare) that us law abiding citizens pay for  with our tax dollars. Take away the jobs that they obtain by accepting far less pay than us tax payers can afford.

So what about the farmers who need the cheap labor? Right?

Two words Chain Gang: Our prisons are full of Free labor. I’m not talking about violent criminals I’m talking about drug users, petty thieves, and white collar criminals. Imagine the feeling of vindication felt from seeing Bernard Madoff picking fruits and veggies is some farmers field for free.

Of course if Pelosi and the Democrats have their way we’ll see an amnesty bill giving all illegal aliens a free ride to citizenship and I’m sure they’ll get to keep the entitlements too. It is my understanding that very recently The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) has had it’s first face-to-face meeting with President Obama. I’m sure that’s what they discussed.

Jobs for Illegals Funded By Stimulus Plan

Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Mar 09 2009

It looks like another set back for the American Economy, an estimated 300,000 construction jobs funded by the Stimulus Package will go to illegal aliens. The House version of the bill originally called for verification of citizenship of any one to be employed by Stimulus funding. Before the House and Senate versions of the bill were  reconciled to one another this provision was removed by Democrat leaders from both chambers of Congress and The White House.

Construcion Jobs in America

Construction Jobs in America

It is believed that The Big Three: President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Senate majority leader Harry Reid, were pandering to amnesty activists by handing stimulus money to illegals in the form of jobs.

The provision would have required that the names of stimulus workers employed by stimulus funding be sent through “E-verify” a system used to quickly verify legitimate citizenship and employment eligibility. The plan built be The Department of Homeland Security and The Social Security Administration is the quickest and most accurate means to to determine this.

The 300,000 estimated jobs calculation is based on studies by the Census Bureau. These Studies show that 15% of all construction workers in the United States are illegal aliens. When this figure is applied to the 2 million jobs expected to be produced from the stimulus bill, 300,000 jobs is the outcome. These figures could be inflated by fluctuations in the illegals’ population in certain states.

Now we see why President Obama wants to control the Census Bureau.

To add insult to economic injury a sizable portion of income earned by illegals is sent back to their families in their country of origin, making that money no longer available to flow through the American economy. An estimated $22 billion a year is sent back to Mexico  in remittances.

I thought to purpose of spending nearly $800 billion was to return provide jobs for Americans. But instead it’s going to people who do not belong in our country courtesy of the American Taxpayers! Any one with two brain cells to rub together can see this is outright criminal.

Whats next? Giving them vacated Senate seats? I better not give them any ideas.

Figures from various agencies claim around 12 million illegals work in The United States. If 300,000 of them are being paid from Taxpayers’ stimulus dollars then Barack Obamas’ Stimulus bill is curing their unemployment rate better than ours.

What do we have to gain from removing that provision from the stimulus bill?

What were they thinking when the E-verify requirement was taken out of the bill?

Where were the Republicans when this took place and why are we just now hearing about it?

Another example of a Cracked World.
