az4life Report post Posted February 13, 2006 I am sooooo Steaming on this one! US Gives $376M to Mexico for US Border Enforcement This is a US problem as the interests are primarily US. Since when is is allowable for us to abdicate our border enforcement. If we care enough to take action with the AGFD, then we sure ought to take offense at this mullarky and write out representatives, senators and even the president of our country. Something positive has to be done! -------------------------------------- How did they spend the money? Let's see now, recently the Mexican Goverment has printed tens of thousands of maps and brochures advising its people how to cross into the US undetected. No brochures advising against it, but instead, a how to manual. Last year they printed comic books to teach the general process for crossing, what to take, and what to do if caught. Mexican officials routinely decrie the US border tightening policy as inhumane, and unwarranted. There have been multiple documented border incursions by uniformed Mexican Military in military vehicles often in gun battles even as far north as Casa Grande about 5 years ago. I believe Mexico is great place to visit with some great people, but I would not want to live there. Apparently so do many of it's citizens. Based on the current capture statistics, the flow is increasing, not improving. This is like the AZ Cardinals trading down a first round draft pick because they do not know who to pick or giving their opponents money to take it easy on them in a game.

That hurts az4life, comparing the Cards to the border issue, compared to that the Cards would be super bowl champs. On the other hand what sucks is that we are still way undermanned and under equipped on our side and we are giving them money, if we payed better and equipped and backed the people we have, the problem would get better, it will never be solved fully. Well it looks like Scottyboy isn't getting a raise this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az4life Report post Posted February 13, 2006 Keith NOOOOO Bad Charma... PLEASE CHANGE YOUR ICON BACK! Yes I know it was a low blow bringing in the Cards, but it was the worst comparison I could come up with. I forgot to add the $35M "Fly Away" program the US has tested to fly UDA's back home after they are caught here. I feel for Scottyboy on this and I bet his co-workers are stewing on it too!
