American Patrol Report Editorial -- January 5
Last month a terrorist nearly blew an airplane out of the sky near Detroit. DHS Secretary said the system worked.
Last month, drug smugglers and well-armed people crossed the border into the United States. Last month a U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot north of the border in Arizona.
Last month the two top photographs shown on this page were taken on a known smuggling trail in Arizona. From top to bottom: Drug smugglers; and a man carrying a Mac 10 machine pistol. The very bottom photo shows the type of fencing they had to cross.
On November 13, DHS Chief Janet Napolitano said DHS has built more than 600 miles of border fencing.
This simply isn't true. ABP's aerial survey of the border shows that more than 300 miles of so-called fencing is nothing more than vehicle barriers that one can step over or - using a portable ramp - drive over. And much of the border is just wide open.
Unlike the near-catastrophic event in near Detroit, the mainstream media have been able to cover up the border problem. The threat is just as real and the failure at the top just as bad. We may get action to stop terrorists from flying into the U.S.; but it is unlikely that anything will be done to stop them from just walking in.
Napolitano's political correctness may yet deal us a very serious blow; but to her failure is success.

put up some maned guard towers with
machineguns. Turn them around or bury them.
That would be a system

We are not taking this very seriously! Think about this...what if the terrorist, all of whom are here just have come in through the southern border and the rest of the shitheads on airplanes are just a diversion aimed at making us jump through hoops with airline security, while the whole time their plan was to keep us busy worrying about the airports while they simply walk across the border from Mexico!!! Now that would be totally appropriate considering how stupid we have become.
as I have said before...we are Fu&ked!

Those men in the top photo are up to nothing new. They have been doing that for decades. They are carrying dope on their backs, and in the drug smuggling trade they are known as "mules" due to their sole purpose being to move drugs across the border like packmules. In many ways this is a form of terrorism that has plagued our borders for way too long. Putting Mexican street drugs on our streets, that eventually find their way into the veins of our children.

Drive in fence posts every 1/4 mile along the border and put heads on the posts. Guarantee it will drop dramatically. Hell, you tell me the border is now a freefire zone and I'll spend my off-duty time defending it. bet his little Ingram doesn't match up against my M4. Hell, that's give me an excuse to spend some dough on a McMillan TAC-50.
