America in Retreat
I walked into the Nogales Historical Society next to a pawn shop. The man behind the desk in the office didn’t speak English. Another man came in and he didn’t speak English either. Exhibits favorable to Mexican bandits and revolutionaries proliferated.
Those, and the security fence reminded me of traveling in the West Bank three years ago. I left my car and walked across into Mexico. There were no clerks to challenge me, just a one-way turnstyle because nobody tries to sneak into that godforsaken country, and no wonder: A week later 21 people were massacred just 12 miles away. I didn’t feel safe in a country where the government is as corrupt as the drug lords. Two blocks in was a hotel outside of which were heavily-armed soldiers guarding government officials meeting inside. After an hour of being accosted by men selling viagra and prostitutes, I turned around.
I stood in line for another hour looking at pictures of Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano, waiting to get back into my country. I showed my passport, walked back across, then drove up International Street alongside the pathetic border fence where overworked US Border Patrol Agents in white-and-green pick up trucks drove around frantically trying to catch the thousands of illegals who jump over it every month. One told me to get out of there because it was “too dangerous.” I asked if he needed more help from our government to control the border, but he got nervous and referred me to his superiors at headquarters.
Last week, CNS.com interviewed Cochise County Arizona Sheriff Larry Dever, who said: “And you frankly have Border Patrolmen--and I know this from talking to Border Patrol agents—who will not allow their agents to work on the border because it is too dangerous. Now what kind of message is that for crying out loud?”Indeed.
Also last week, Jim Kouri reported at familysecuritymatters.com that: “On the heels of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents' 258-0 ‘vote of no confidence’ against their superiors, U.S. Border Patrol agents [in Tucson] are slamming President Barack Obama's administration - especially Attorney General Eric Holder.”
US National Park officials are warning Americans about the danger of Mexican drug smugglers inside the US. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said most illegal aliens are smuggling drugs.
Just the other day, An 18-year-old American woman was kidnapped in Texas, taken across the Mexican border and held for ransom. “U.S. authorities did not contact their Mexican counterparts because they did not know whether they were corrupted or connected to the girl’s captors,” San Juan, Texas Police Chief Juan Gonzalez said.
Drug cartels see America full of addicts and their own country in anarchy. Peasants see America as paradise with free medical care and education, and their own country as non-functioning. Our government and Mexico’s “government” pretend all this isn’t so. Working together, they pretend Arizona is the problem for trying to protect itself from invasion by millions of violent foreign drug dealers and illiterate campesinos.
The violent anarchy that is Mexico is spreading north, enabled by our federal government. We’re losing ground. Most of our fifty states are effectively bankrupt or chafing at escalating power in Washington. Some are talking nullification - even secession. We’re in danger of boiling over.
America saved the world from fascist and communist dictatorship in the 20th century and it’s the only obstacle to the chaos of radical Islamic terrorism in the 21st. Our enemies, however, no long fear us. They see us as a paper tiger governed by a president who apologizes for our past greatness while running us into bankruptcy.We’re losing ground on many fronts.
That’s ominous for us - and for the rest of the world as well. Who else but America has the courage and the might to keep chaos at bay? The UN?

Roberto, you were down here a few weeks ago? I live down here and you sir are the liar. And what difference does it make whether the young woman was a US or Mexican citizen? Do you not know that Southern California is a Mexican state in every way but name. Do you not see that we are being invaded from the south and our federal government refuses neither to acknowledge this or do anything about it?

RRjenn,
Roberto knows exactly what is going on, he supports the invasion because he is a traitor and reconquista.

I seem to remember this article popping up a few months ago in a much less vitriolic form. I guess it's been fermented and distilled since then. FYI, since your first writing, I confirmed with my close friend, the Border Patrol agent with whom you allegedly spoke, that you are, in fact, a liar. FYI, it just so happens that the young man with whom you spoke that day had just finished a year-long assignment with the public relations/information section at Border Patrol and knew exactly what to do with requests such as yours: refer them to the proper personnel to address your questions. He also told me that Border Patrol later found you poking around a secure area at their facility and that you were escorted off the property.
You are as free as the next person to post whatever vitriolic tripe you care to post on the internet in order to justify your travel expenses. You are also free to encourage others to join in your Xenophobic rants. However, I am extremely sorry for the generation of children that must be subjected to this paranoia in your classroom. I only hope that they someday get an unbiased education from someone who isn't a raving lunatic.

I also note that my last comment was not posted. Let's see if you have the "cojones" to post this one. A little "border Spanish" for you. Look it up.
