Illegals, Drugs, Smuggling rapidly taking control of our Nation's Southwest border.

Based on a review of the data, interviews conducted and other information collected, Subcommittee staff finds that:

This a problem. A HUGE problem, and it's being ignored just like social security. Problem is if it's ignored for too long our government will just throw up their hands once it's too big to solve and go, "oh well, it's too late to do anything now," just like they're doing with all the illegal aliens and social security. But hey, when it comes to wasting money, NOBODY can do a better job than our government. This BAIL OUT business is pure bull shit!

I'm disgusted with America, for a bunch of reasons, but government tops the list in bold letters. I'm waiting for another Civil War. I just hope it's in my life time, and I'm able to participate.

In my opinion, you're absolutely right! I think in the governments quest for "One World Order", it will bring a Civil War. Once America is tore down like other war-torn countries. We may not have the funds to rebuild. The government officials might be the first ones to go. So, I don't know why they're in such a hurry.

I think the media is also covering up and has not been reporting important facts that American's need to know, to make intelligent decisions reguarding the direction of their country.

The Gang problem goes mostly unreported about their activities and how vicious, violent, revengeful and well organized they are. Anyone wishing to legalized drugs in America is wishing to open up a can of worms filled with drug related violent crimes by a well armed militia.

2009 National Gang Threat Assessment


Criminal gangs commit as much as 80 percent of the crime in many communities, according to law enforcement officials throughout the nation. Typical gang-related crimes include alien smuggling, armed robbery, assault, auto theft, drug trafficking, extortion, fraud, home invasions, identity theft, murder, and weapons trafficking.

Cross-Border Gang Activity



U.S.-based gang members are increasingly involved in cross-border criminal activities, particularly in areas of Texas and California along the U.S.–Mexico border. Much of this activity involves the trafficking of drugs and illegal aliens from Mexico into the United States and considerably adds to gang revenues. Further, gangs are increasingly smuggling weapons from the United States into Mexico as payment for drugs or to sell for a significant profit. Examples of such cross border activities include:

• Street and prison gang members have established networks that work closely with Mexican DTOs (drug traffing organizations) in trafficking cocaine and marijuana from Mexico into the United States for distribution.

• Some Mexican DTOs contract with gangs in the Southwest Region to smuggle weapons from the United States to Mexico, according to open source information.

• Street gang and OMG (outlaw motorcyle gangs) members are trafficking cocaine and firearms from the United States to Canada and marijuana and MDMA (3,4 - methylenedioxymethamphetarnine, also know as ecstasy) from Canada to the United States; this is a growing concern to U.S. and Canadian law enforcement officials, particularly as Canadian law enforcement officials report that street gangrelated gun crimes in Canada are often committed using firearms that are illegally smuggled into the country from the United States.

legalize all drugs...put monies from the so called "drug war" into other things...

People don't realize that reason Mexico and South America can't beat the Cartels is the drug money makes the Cartels so powerful that they can buy anything. At the very least legalize pot and coke.
 
Have no fear...

Obama will solve this problem!

You just have to believe!!!

In my opinion, I'm not so sure about that. Obama is surrounding himself with "Crook Yes Men." If Obama was smart, he would focuse on easing the national deficit by carrying out a census of all known illegal aliens and deporting them. All illegal aliens and their children should be removed from any government or taxpayer funded social services or welfare programs. He should also make an impenetrable seal at the Southern border because that seems to be where most of our problems are coming from. The terrorists are coming over the border at free will. Let's remember there were less that 20 terrorists to create the demonic destruction on 9/11.

~*~*~*~*~*~

During 2005, Border Patrol apprehended approximately 1.2 million illegal aliens; of those 165,000 were from countries other than Mexico. Of the non-Mexican aliens, approximately 650 were from special interest countries. Special interest countries are those “designated by the intelligence community as countries that could export individuals that could bring harm to our country in the way of terrorism.”

Federal law enforcement estimates that 10 percent to 30 percent of illegal aliens are actually apprehended Therefore, in 2005, as many as 10 to 4 million illegal aliens crossed into the United States;

In my opinion, the illegal aliens come for the benefits not the jobs. The American born children of two illegal alien parent make them eligible for social services and education and medical programs. Programs like medicare, welfare, food stamps, public housing, WIC, free school lunches, after school day care and more. America must end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens.

The U.S. needs to stop granting automatic citizenship to the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens. This is a big draw for illegal aliens to enter the country illegally and abuse the system.

"The 14th Amendment, passed to guarantee the citizenship of freed slaves, grants citizenship to anyone born here and "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. HR 1940 acknowledges the right of birthright citizenship established by the 14th amendment to the Constitution, but says a person born in the United States is considered "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States only if one of the parents is a citizen, an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, or an alien performing active service in the armed forces."

There are wello over 300,000 additional U.S. citizens each year born from illegal alien mothers that are being taught to have no allegiance to America. These children will not be counted as part of the overall immigration numbers.

To continue birthright citizenship is an assult against the sovereignty of our nation and Constitution. It is a another form of illegal alien invasions in our country. Like the crook that got away with his crimes.

The Pro-illegal alien supporters hire people to complain to the U.S. government. Americans need to voice their complaints and opinions so, that this isn't a one sided issue! Use your Right to be heard!

Contact your politicians and tell them:

1. Close the borders and build and maintain the fence.
2. Protect and guard our ports and borders.
3. Deport illegal aliens.
4. Punish employers who hire illegal aliens.
5. End birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens.

Immigration and Population Growth

U.S. population growth is increasingly linked to immigration. The following table shows the share of our population growth attributable to foreign-born persons:

Since 1970, following the reopening of mass immigration, total U.S. population increased by 96.1 million, or 47.2 percent, while the foreign-born population increased by
27.8 million—a whopping 289 percent. Thus immigrants accounted for 28.9 percent (27.8/96.1) of U.S. population growth since 1970.

Moreover, as seen in the last column of the table, their share of U.S. population growth has risen steadily since 1970.

Immigration is not the entire story, however. Immigrants have children after they arrive in the United States. The immigrants, by definition foreign born, and their U.S.-born children together constitute what demographers call the “foreign stock.” Immigrants seem to have children at a faster pace than native-born Americans. Fertility rates (births per 1,000 women of child bearing ages, 15 to 44) in 2002 were3:

102 births per 1,000 immigrants
59 births per 1,000 native born

29. U.S. households headed by illegal aliens used $26.3 billion in government services during 2002, but paid $16 billion in taxes, an annual cost to taxpayers of $10 billion. It's reasonable to expect those costs to continue to soar if action is not taken to turn the tide.

30. The illegal aliens, costs U.S. taxpayers more than $32,000 in federal, state and local benefits each year. That same family contributes an average of $9,000 a year in taxes, resulting in a net tax burden of $22,449 each year. If the lower figure of 12 million illegal aliens is used for estimation purposes, the total tax burden translates to $2.2 trillion.

[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]February 8, 2009[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]While the violence entails battles between drug traffickers and Mexican military and police forces, it also involves turf fights among the various drug-trafficking organizations as they seek to control access to the lucrative U.S. market. [/FONT][FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]More than 5,300 people died in the fighting in 2008 in Mexico. The carnage is now so bad that the U.S. State Department has issued travel alerts for Americans going to Mexico. The battles in portions of northern Mexico are “the equivalent of military small-unit combat and have included the use of machine guns and fragmentation grenades. Even the Marines at Camp Pendleton near San Diego are banned from spending leave time in Tijuana – because it is too dangerous. [/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]And Mexico's violence is spilling across the border into communities in the southwestern United States. Cartel enforcers have published lists of Americans, including police officers, who are targeted for assassination. [/FONT][FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]Mexican Federal and local police forces, which have been thoroughly corrupted by drug money. Los Zetas, the enforcement arm of the powerful and especially ruthless Gulf Cartel, openly sought recruits to their ranks, posting help-wanted signs and hanging a large banner across a major thoroughfare in Nuevo Laredo last spring. The banner read: “The Zetas want you, soldier or ex-soldier. We offer a good salary, food and benefits for your family.” [/FONT][FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]Prosecutors charged top officials in the Attorney General's Office with being informers for the drug organizations. They allegedly received payments of $150,000 to $450,000 per month for information regarding surveillance targets and potential raids. The drug cartels will be one group of employers willing and able to pay for new hires. President Obama ought to put the drug violence in Mexico at the top of his list of national security priorities.

[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]February 8, 2009

More than 200 American citizens have been killed since 2004 in Mexico's escalating wave of violence, amounting to the highest number of unnatural deaths in any foreign country outside military combat zones, according to the U.S. State Department. The deaths included a 22-year-old Houston man and his 16-year-old friend who were hauled out of a minivan and shot execution style. They also included a 65-year-old nurse from Brownsville found floating in the Rio Grande after visiting a Mexican beauty salon and a retiree stabbed to death while camping on a Baja beach. The State Department tracks most American homicides abroad but releases few details about the deaths.
[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]

[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]At least two dozen American victims were labeled as cartel hitmen, drug dealers, smugglers or gang members. At least 70 other cases, the Americans were killed in Mexico while there on seemingly innocent business: visiting family, vacationing or living and working there. The State Department last year issued "travel alerts" for several border communities, warning that dozens of U.S. citizens had been kidnapped or killed in Tijuana. The Chronicle found that among the American deaths, at least 40 were killed and had their bodies dumped in the methods favored by drug cartels. Records from the prosecutor in Baja California Norte, home to Tijuana, show none of the cases from 2004 to 2006 have been closed. More than 90 Americans have been killed in the state south of San Diego since 2003. [/FONT]

"The Debate Over Immigration & Border Security Continues"

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

Mexican government officials continue to express their outrage over the United States' attempts to secure and protect our own border. They say that Mexican citizens have every right to enter the United States illegally. Christine Romans has that report.

CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Mexico, apparently believes the border is there to be crossed by its citizens, not enforced by the United States. This warning from the speaker of Mexico's lower house of congress. "The immigration won't stop, far from it." No surprise really from the government that published a border handbook to help people enter the country illegally and recently hired a top PR firm to sell Americans on porous borders lumping illegal immigrants with those who play by the rules.

ROB ALLYN, ALLYN & COMPANY, INC: These folks are pioneers, who are coming in search of a better life and the idea is to put the statue of liberty out there, welcoming those workers.

ROMANS: Border security advocates call it an affront to American sovereignty.

Yet the majority of liberals want these criminals to be granted full citizenship.

Never mind the fact thats these illegals jumped the boarder and insulted the good immigrants that have waited in line and have made life changing commitments to become an American.

Of course Cons love the illegals as well, its cheap labor to them and the last thing they want to see is them being granted citizenship because it means they will have to pay them the same wages American citizens get.

I hate this country, liberals have illogically and redundantly fucked every American over x 10.


I want Obama to tell those waiting to enter the country whats going on... lets see how bias that dummy really is.... Whats he going to tell them? better yet whats he going to tell you or me?

Obama doesnt give two shits about the middle class, hes rewarding the welfare idiots with trillions of dollars and going out of his way to keep whites unemployed to create a one class society.

It sucks, its blunt racism, socialism and I hate this once great nation.
 
Legalize cocaine and marijuana and the cartels would disappear. We could decrease spending and increase revenue for the federal government at the same time.

Legalize cocaine? Not very smart.. I might go with marijuana though.
 
The way the war on drugs is conducted is insane.

One cannot declare a war on an inanimate object.

One can only declare war on people.

And that is exactly the outcome, and the outcome is worse than what it is seeking to eradicate.

The Mexican Drug cartels are now kidanapping innocent mexicans to work in hemp fields they are putting in American's national forests in the SW.

These slaves cannot fight back or run away because if they do, their families in Mexico will be killed.

We are empowering CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS by giving THEM the EXCLUSIVE FRNACHISE to sell Americans the hemp that they want.

The human suffering that this insane policy is causing on BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER is inexcusable.

The only real criminals now are the people who support organizaed crime by making hemp cultivation and posssession a crime.
