Cartels suspected as high-caliber gunfire sends Border Patrol scrambling on Rio Grande
2014-07-21
[FoxNews] Border Patrol sources confirmed Gohmert's account, and said the shots may have been fired by .50-caliber weapons.
Mexico's southern border, the one they patrol so zealously, has suddenly become very porous. Guatemalan, Honduran and Salvardoran children are being escorted right up to the Rio Grande. It's like a business, a machine.

Wonder who set all that up? Who in Mexico is benefiting? Who in Mexico is getting the money? Why isn't Mexico closing its southern border, and why aren't we quietly leaning on Mexico do that?

Follow the money, my friends.

#7  Who in Mexico is benefiting?

As the Ministry of Truth(c.1984) buries the related story of those children who didn't make it through Mexico because they were kidnapped for real sex slavery (not the 'consenting adult' activities so many rad feminists try to label as such in the States).

#6  A US Navy Destroyer stops four Mexicans rowing towards Texas.

The Captain gets on the loud-hailer and shouts, “Ahoy, small craft. Where are you headed?”

One of the Mexicans puts down his oar, stands up, and shouts, “Gringo, we are invading the United States of America to reclaim the territory taken by the USA during the 1800s.”

The entire crew on the destroyer doubles over in laughter. When the Captain finally catches his breath, he gets back on the loud-hailer and asks, “Just the four of you?”

The same Mexican stands up again and shouts, “No, we’re the last four. The other 18 million are already there.”

Am I the only one who rememebers about the official web site of Massachusets announcing turnovers of 150%, 200% and above in districts who favored Obama by 90% or more.

#4  Who in Mexico is benefitting?

You get it all wrong. Right question should be: Who in the White House is benefitting?

Am I the only one who remebers about the Florida democratic Party opposing a cleanup of non-citizens from the electoral census for the Presidential Elections?


Am I the only one who rememebers about the official web site of Massachusets announcing turnovers of 150%, 200% and above in districts who favored Obama by above 50%.

How many non-citizens voted in those swing states whop ended in Obama's side?

#2  Those coming through have a tendency of getting shaken down for their money as they pass through Mexico.

#1  The regime has made a business decision. Closing the border would decimate the inner-city narcotics entrepreneurs of Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Houston, and New York.
