So many extremist groups today claim to be America’s Voice or the Voice of the working American when in reality, they are nothing more than Klansmen of old in leisure suits. In Truth,America’s Voice is people such as me and you, tired of the lies and the pompous posturing of those who use the Immigration debate to fill their hip pockets and spread their peculiar brand of hate. We’re coming upon that time of the year when they have what seems to be becoming an annual affair, called “Hold their feet to the fire” or some silly ass name. Remember ….Read More

A push by U.S. and Mexican authorities to combat the high-powered arms trafficking that fuels Mexico’s bloody drug war is putting increasing numbers of suspected drug smugglers in court. Prosecutions for federal gun law violations are on pace to reach a 20-year high in South Texas as federal agents work to stem the “iron river of guns” that officials estimate supply 90 percent of the weapons used by the cartels. The push is stretching the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ 135 agents along the 2,000-mile border who are tasked with monitoring some 6,700 licensed gun dealers. In ….Read More

We all know the controversial Mexican Cross Border Program was extended for two more years on August 8, under Federal guidelines concerning Pilot Programs, and as we reported, Jimmy Hoffa immediately showed his no class ignorance by continuing his boring mantra about those unsafe, dangerous and illegal Mexican trucks, a notion we have continually disproved on this site.

Vigilantes on U.S. border say they’re compassionate, even save illegal immigrants’ lives The “Viagra Vigilantes” aka The Minutemen want you to know they are humanitarians, and they can be quite persuasive.

Marco Antonio Solís is without question one of the most important figures in the rise of Mexican and Latin music to world prominence during the last two decades of the 20th century. Born in Michoacan, Mexico, Solís was only 12 when he formed his first group, Los Hermanitos Solís, with brother Joel. He was still a teenager when he formed Los Bukis in the early ’70s. Over the course of the next two decades, Los Bukis came to profoundly influence the norteño and tejano music of Mexico and the southwestern United States. Though Solís continued to work closely with Los ….Read More

A day after a fatal highway drag racing crash, a pair of local television live trucks were caught on video in their own race at a local drag strip. The El Paso stations, KDBC-TV and KVIA-TV, were at the legal drag racing strip Friday night when a crowd of onlookers apparently convinced a pair of photographers and a part-time anchorman to race. Charlie Bernal, a 25-year-old photographer for KDBC, said he was fired Tuesday after his bosses saw the race on the video sharing Web site YouTube. “I knew what I was doing and figured, if someone gets wind of ….Read More

Editor’s Note: It was a shock to wake up this evening preparing for the nights work and learn the world had lost one of the great voices of our generation. I’ve enjoyed Pavarotti’s music for many years and it seems like the loss of a friend to know the great voice is silenced. Famed opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti, who appeared on stage with singers as varied as opera star Dame Joan Sutherland, U2′s Bono and Liza Minnelli, died Thursday after suffering from pancreatic cancer. Pavarotti, who was 71, died at his home in Modena, Italy. The portly singer retired from ….Read More
