It won't be long before it spreads here. Unintended consequences are a bitch.
It's already here. Don't kid yourself. The Mexican Mafia controls the inside of the California prisons and the drug cartels' operations on the outside -- along with the turf where they get to operate. Mexican drug cartels have bought and paid for a number of city council members and Mayors here in Southern California which explains why many times when laws are initiated which would get tougher on these gangs they never get to the ballot box.
Clinton, and even more so under Bush, have left our borders wide open. Bush took the side of a known illegal alien drug smuggler against two U.S. Border patrolmen in a shootout on this side of the border. The drug dealer ran, turned while in flight, the border agents thought he was going to shoot and shot him in the butt as he turned back again to flee.
The two U.S. Border Patrolmen have rotten in solitary confinement for almost two years now. Despite pleas on their behalf by many Republicans and a number of Democrat Senators and Congresspersons, Bush refuses to even consider a pardon for them.
And the Mexican drug dealer caught with more than 700 pounds of pot while illegally here on our side of the border? Well, he snuck back into our country again with even more drugs but, thanks to Bush, was given less time in jail than the two border agents and not in solitary confinement either. Not only that, the drug dealer was encouraged to sue our own government over the shooting incident and was awarded more than $1 million in damages.
Bush did the express bidding of the Mexican government and the drug cartels -- send a message to border patrol to NOT do their job. It's worked. Many U.S. Border patrolmen have said since that incident they no longer even try to intercept Mexican cartel drug runners where they may have to use their guns because they know our own U.S. government will not back them up. Morale among our border patrol has plummeted.
Now why would Bush choose to back the wishes of the Mexican government and the Mexican drug cartels by vigorously prosecuting two of our own U.S. border patrol agents and eagerly accepting as truth the word of an illegal alien drug smuggler from Mexico over that of the two U.S. two border patrolmen as to how the incident came down? And why -- TO THIS DAY -- does Bush continue to leave our borders wide open and less than 5% of our port cargo uninspected? Hmmm? Makes one wonder -- a lot.
