#1 El Paso Times:
Narco tunnel into US traced to drainage ditch in Juárez
EL PASO -- Mexican authorities on Saturday found the beginning of a tunnel dug 2 1/2 feet under the Rio Grande that was used to smuggle drugs into the United States, officials said.
The tunnel, about 130 feet long and 2 feet wide and 2 feet high, was traced to a drainage ditch along a highway near the river.
"Once we discovered it, they backtracked it and that's where they found it," U.S. Border Patrol Agent Ramiro Cordero said.
The tunnel was discovered about 1:30 a.m. Friday by Border Patrol agents who heard suspicious noises.
It is the first drug tunnel found in El Paso, a discovery that surprised law enforcement officials who thought the Rio Grande would be a barrier.

#3 Predators and "scorched earth". That's the only thing that Cretins understand. And like a cancer you have to get it all.

#4 Predators would be a good start, but we need a couple of divisions of militia to back them up, plus declare that the first five miles of US territory, except in built-up areas, is a free-fire zone. It'll take awhile but the combination WILL be effective.

#5 The massacre took place when armed suspects riding aboard a Lincoln Navigator and a Chevrolet Suburban shot at a group of five people doing masonry work.

So which vehicle is best for a drive by shooting?

#6 Witnesses say AR-15 rifles were used in the attack.

On a more serious note, how many scared Mexicans can identify the manufacturer of an assault rifle while they are ducking for cover or running for their lives?
