$1.2 billion fence adds little or no security

Luis Alberto Urrea The Border Patrol agent was a 30-year veteran. He walked me across a patch of desolation to the Mexican border. There was no border fence there yet. Just Arizona desert, a dusty dry creekbed, and Mexican desert beyond, indistinguishable from the United States. If you want to hear philosophical reflections from an agent, you have to talk to old-timers. The hundreds of new Homeland Security-era officers who have flooded the border are extremely well trained – the Border Patrol academy is a monster among law enforcement training programs – and they are certainly gung-ho. But the old ….Read More

Tancredo using death of Border Patrol agent to push agenda

Tancredo should be ashamed of using the death of this agent to push forward his on short sighted agenda. At least he’s out of the field for the White House. Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson also.

Ramos & Campeon - Loya Spin machine going "balls to the wall"!

The spin machine of Joe Loya, father in law of convicted felon and former Border Patrol agent Ignacio Ramos is kicking into high gear as the time nears Monday for the appeal of their conviction to be heard before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. This would be a non issue and these two felons would be quietly serving their sentence were it not for the daddy in laws money. This was a point raised by the trial judge when she admonished Mr Loya about his attempts to influence public opinion during the trial.

I was reading an excellent article today in the San Antonio Express-News entitled Games put new spin on a hot topic. This subject dealt with several people who had developed board and video games in an attempt to give people some idea of what illegal immigrants face in day to day life. But perhaps the most popular game, is a flash based game called BORDER PATROL This is a shoot em up game where your targets are Mexicans and pregnant women. You would think that Americans would have more sense than to take to this trite crap, but no, 577,075 ….Read More

CBP El Paso sector makes largest seizure of the year

Border Patrol agents in Fort Hancock, Texas made the El Paso Sector’s largest marijuana seizure of the year after a motorist lost control of his vehicle and flipped his trailer on FM Road 192, spilling over 3,000 pounds of marijuana Tuesday, announced U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials today. According to officials the incident occurred at about 1:40 p.m. when a Border Patrol agent observed the vehicle pulling a utility trailer traveling northbound from the levee just north of the U.S./Mexico boundary. The vehicle was next seen traveling west on I-10 near McNary. Agents became suspicious and began following the ….Read More

But hey, they’re english speaking white folk! Northern border riddled with holes Smugglers exploit back roads linking Canada to U.S., agents say ALBURGH, VT. — The United States ends where Blair Road becomes “Chemin 4eme Concession.” But for someone headed north on the gravel road into Noyan, Quebec, there is nothing to mark the international divide other than two unobtrusive signs and a broken down border marker hidden in a ditch. There are cameras and sensors to alert the Border Patrol when southbound people enter the United States, but nothing to stop them physically from making the two or three ….Read More

WASHINGTON — Attorney General-designate Michael Mukasey is under pressure from some in Congress to review the case of two Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a Mexican drug dealer. Forty-five lawmakers, led by Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, and Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., sent a letter to Mukasey on Tuesday contending that previous reviews of the prosecution of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean were not “fair and unbiased.”
