Operation Desert Taco

Over the years there have been reports of military incursions and gunfire directed at American citizens from across the Mexican border.
July 2011 -

More than 30 soldiers in the Mexican Army crossed the border into Texas in Humvees on Tuesday before being processed and allowed to return to Mexico.

According to Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Rick Pauza, the accidental invasion occurred when 33 soldiers in four Humvees started crossing a bridge across the Rio Grande at Donna, Texas, and then realized they couldn't turn their vehicles around without entering the U.S.

The soldiers were released. Of course the Mexicans do not return the favor.
June 2014 -

Even as scores of illegals stream into America, and Mexican authorities continue to hold a U.S. Marine behind bars after he took a wrong turn into the country, reports indicate authorities on this side of the border are being targeted.

“Shots fired south of Rincon Village from Mexico,” the source told Breitbart this week. “Unknown if smugglers are f—king with game wardens or what the deal is.”

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Mexican civilians and military personnel have ignored our borders for decades.

DHS records show that Mexican military incursions occur quite often and regularly go unpunished by the U.S. government. For instance, the DHS documents reveal 226 incursions by Mexican personnel into the U.S. between 1996 and 2005. In 2007 alone, 25 such incursions occurred along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Earlier this year a serious incursion occurred in Arizona, in which two heavily armed and camouflaged Mexican soldiers crossed 50 yards over the border and held Border Patrol agents at gunpoint in a tense confrontation.

But soon that may be coming to an end as a leaked transcript indicates that Trump may have threatened to send troops into Mexico.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump threatened in a phone call with his Mexican counterpart to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them, according to an excerpt of a transcript of the conversation obtained by The Associated Press.

The excerpt of the call did not detail who exactly Trump considered "bad hombres," nor did it make clear the tone and context of the remark, made in a Friday morning phone call between the leaders. It also did not contain Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's response.

Still, the excerpt offers a rare and striking look at how the new president is conducting diplomacy behind closed doors. Trump's remarks suggest he is using the same tough and blunt talk with world leaders that he used to rally crowds on the campaign trail.

Peso Plunges

After the meeting with Mexico's President was cancelled, the peso took another hit, closing at 21.30. Taco Bell closed its doors and 7-11's all across the nation have been stripped of burritos. This is war.

Twitter diplomacy just ripped the Mexican peso, again.

At its low, the currency was down more than a percent against the U.S. dollar after Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto canceled a meeting with President Donald Trump, in a dispute over Trump's border wall. It later reversed some of the losses.

Pena Nieto was expected to visit the U.S. next week to discuss immigration and trade issues, and Mexican officials have been meeting with the Trump administration ahead of time. Though Trump seemed to make conciliatory comments about Mexico on Wednesday, the president reversed that sentiment by tweeting Thursdaythat the meeting should be canceled if Mexico won't agree to pay for the wall.

The Mexican president tweeted back, in Spanish, that he informed the White House that he would not be attending the meeting. White House spokesman Sean Spicer later said that the wall could be paid for with a 20 percent tax on all imports from Mexico, but the White House later backtracked and said the 20 percent tax was just an example of what could be done.

We shall see who pays for that wall.

A Border Fence Is Not Enough

Liberals are always declaring that the Mexicans only take the jobs that Americans refuse to do.

Now it's time for Americans to take the jobs that Mexicans refuse to do. Seal the drug smuggling tunnels.

Border tunnels left unfilled on Mexican side pose security risk, officials say

Mexican drug cartels have burrowed dozens of tunnels in the last decade, outfitted them with rail and cart systems to whisk drugs under the U.S. border and, after being discovered by authorities, abandoned them.

But some of the illicit passageways live on.

At least six previously discovered border tunnels have been reactivated by Mexican trafficking groups in recent years, exposing a recurring large-scale smuggling threat, according to U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officials.

The breaches of border defenses, most recently in December, occur because Mexican authorities, unlike those on the American side, do not fill the tunnels with concrete once they have been discovered. Mexican authorities say they lack the funds.

This is a national security disaster. If the cartels can smuggle hundreds of tons of coke and heroin into the US, what else is coming through?

Blow up the Mexican side of the tunnels, collapse them.
Fill the American side of the tunnels with concrete and dead smugglers.
Install a system of sensors along the border to detect tunneling operations.
Install counter battery radar for when they start to catapult that crap over the border.

Borscht v. Burrito

So, what nation had the most influence on our Presidential elections? Russia or Mexico?

The Senate Intelligence Committee demanded that the CIA produce the evidence proving that Russia made deliberate efforts to influence the out come of last November's elections. The CIA has refused.

(CNSNews.com) - An attempt by Congress to find out more about Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election hit a brick wall last night, when U.S. intelligence agencies refused a request to brief the House intelligence committee today (Thursday) on the cyber-attacks.

Nevertheless, the current administration and the MSM is pursuing this story as if Moses just came down from Mt. Sinai with the evidence engraved in stone.

There are counterclaims, There is evidence suggesting that there was a massive influx of illegal aliens who cast ballots in the election.

Investigators found the voter after examining “jury excusal” forms where a person said they couldn’t serve because they were not U.S. Citizens. They took those names and found dozens of those people in the database of Florida registered voters.

Since investigators only checked a very small sample of jury forms, one can only imagine how many thousands, or tens of thousands of illegals statewide who may have voted since the Motor Voter law was passed in 1993. Non-citizen voting is a Federal felony.

On one hand we have a simple process that can produce the actual numbers of illegal voters from official state databases verifying the claim that illegal immigration has corrupted the political process in America. Unfortunately the political elites and the MSM will not lend credence to these efforts .

On the other hand,we have a claim that a foreign power  has had an even greater influence on the election and the intelligence agencies maintaining this fiction refuse to provide the proof that has been requested by other government officials responsible for ascertaining appropriate government oversight. Yet the political elites and the media have accepted this fiction.

And then again,borscht never gave me the runs.

Keep The Monsters Out

From Breitbart:

Mexican authorities have arrested the former mayor of a rural community in the border state of Coahuila in connection with the kidnapping, murder and incineration of hundreds of victims through a network of ovens at the hands of the Los Zetas cartel. The arrest comes after Breitbart Texas exposed not only the horrors of the mass extermination, but also the cover-up and complicity of the Mexican government.

And the idiot democrats are raving about the evil that Trump represents. Authorities estimate that perhaps 300 men, women and children were kidnapped, tortured and burnt to ashes by members of the Los Zetas drug cartel.

And Trump is the new Hitler? Why isn't the media all over this horror?

Mexico is a failed state and President-elect Trump knows it. Our borders have become an object of ridicule to millions; monsters can come and go as they please and ravage America the same way. This is part and parcel of the Alinsky strategy that Pelosi, Clinton, Obama and all the rest of the communists in government have embraced.

Build the wall.
Make it tall, make it strong.
Staff it, man it, enforce the laws, throw the illegals out, don't let the monsters in.

Despite the magnitude, news outlets in both the U.S. and Mexico largely ignored the story as cartels continued to reign in that country with impunity. After Breitbart Texas’ exposé, authorities charged a handful of Los Zetas members in connection with the incinerations inside the prison, but public officials had managed to escape scrutiny.

The governor at the time of the massacre, Humberto Moreira, was accused and later released in Spain for having been a surrogate of the Los Zetas cartel–however he, too, has managed to avoid facing a judge in Mexico. Moreira had various assets seized by U.S. courts.

For those of my readers who do not know the story of Adolph Eichmann, look here. I was thirteen years old when the Israels hung this piece of Nazi excrement; I still remember reading the papers and watching the news about his trial and execution. Take a little time to read it. How Eichmann manged to elude the Allied authorities after the war is interesting - and discouraging

Walls For Me But Not For Thee

A truly bizarre Mexican response to the illegal immigration scenario. But that's Mexico.

Myself ... screw the Panama Canal; the Chinks run it anyway. Take all the illegals in this country and have them dig a canal from San Diego to Brownsville, right down our southern border with Mexico. Then fortify the crap out of it like the Berlin Wall, only call it the Beaner Curtain.

The Mexican journal El Mañana published an editorial July 24 advocating for the construction of a border wall similar to that of Donald Trump’s — “but in Southern Mexico.”

Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump’s idea for a wall involves Mexico financing the project and building it on their side of the border. El Mañana basically wants the same thing for Guatemala and Belize.

According to the journal, the border between Mexico and the two Central American nations:

Doesn’t give any benefits (to the country), on the contrary they only bring trouble. These crossings are used for a new invasion: that of Central Americans using our country to enter the United States.

El Mañana added that the main problem “isn’t the undocumented traffic, mainly Guatemalan, Salvadoran and Honduran,” but rather that illegals deported from the United States don’t go back “to their origin as established in international treaties.” Instead, they go mainly to the city of Reynosa.

Walls? Walls? We got to build you no stinking walls!!

That Sucking Sound As Jobs Disappear

Brexit's reception here must have worried the socialists running North America so they're not wasting time getting their heads together to figure out ways they can screw their citizens before the freedom tsunami hits.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Monday called for greater integration with Canada and the United States in the wake of Britain's vote to split with the European Union.

Nieto, who spoke during a stopover in Quebec City, is scheduled to attend a North American leaders summit in Ottawa on Wednesday with his US and Canadian counterparts.

The three countries are economic partners in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and work closely on security matters.

At Wednesday's summit, the leaders are expected to announce joint energy and environmental strategies, including matching renewable energy targets.

"The purpose of this visit is to renew our bilateral relationship, to give it new life, to find ways to advance the prosperity and competitiveness of North America," Pena Nieto said.

"I think what is happening elsewhere in the world invites us to strengthen our strategic alliance and especially to be much more inclusive," he said in response to questions about the so-called Brexit decision.

Notice how he is not addressing crimes committed by Mexican citizens when they enter the country illegally nor is he worried about the narcotics trafficking that is poisoning America and feeding the bloodletting in our cities. Nah, he likes the energy gig. Remember Solyndra? There's lots more "green" companies that have gone belly up after feeding on government subsidies. I bet there's a few Mexican start ups that would like a piece of that. Obama did pretty well off the solar scam, Nieto just wants to wet his beak.

All this thief is doing is looking to increase the spread of his net. You know, the net that he casts to catch corrupt politicians and businessmen. He might be running low on Mexican thieves so he wants some of our ours and Canada's. How do we know this? The three of them want to start a continental carbon market - to enlarge Al Gore's multi-billion dollar scam involving green house gas (GHG) emissions trading. This could be Obama's retirement plan which of course will be funded by taxpayers.

And the current idiot Prime Minister to the north? He's got a whole country as a new toy and he's dying to see if he can break it. Silly socialist, maybe he thinks failed economic policies do better if they get rooted in a colder climate.

These high ranking politicians just don't get it.
But then again, corrupt politicians rarely do unless it's in the form of an arrest warrant or a noose.

Eating Cuervo

From Breitbart:

SANTA MONICA, California — During an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, former Mexican President Vicente Fox apologized Wednesday for the vulgar language he has used regarding GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the southern border and invited the likely Republican nominee to Mexico to see the border from the other side.

Earlier this year, Fox said that he would not pay for Trump’s “f*cking wall,” and called Trump ““Ignorant … crazy … egocentric … nasty … [a] false prophet.” Trump then called on Fox to apologize

On Wednesday, he did so — in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News — and added that he wanted Trump to come to Mexico to see the border from the other side.

“I apologize. Forgiveness is one of the greatest qualities that human beings have, is the quality of a compassionate leader. You have to be humble. You have to be compassionate. You have to love thy neighbor,” Fox explained to Breitbart News while sitting in the hotel of the J.W. Marriott in Santa Monica, California on Wednesday afternoon.

“Love your nation. Love the world,” he added. “Yes, I’m humble enough as leadership be, [a] compassionate leader. If I offended you, I’m sorry. But what about the other way around?”

There's another substance I'd like Fox to munch on while he is staring at the 30 foot wall that will hopefully seal off our southern border.

Okay, So They Ain't Happy

The Carrier Corporation is located in Indianapolis, Indiana; it makes airplane engines. As part of its stated objective of remaining competitive, the company just announced that it is moving 1,400 jobs to Monterrey, Mexico.

At a company-wide meeting, a corporate representative announced this news to their workers. Everyone was ecstatic. No really, they were almost overcome with happiness. You can hear the joy in their voices as they are informed of the move. No, really, I'm not kidding. Once you listen to the video you too will be amazed at the overwhelming love and support displayed by the rank and file as they find out they will soon be unemployed.

You probably don't want to run the video at work as the rampant happy-happy joy joy is very contagious.

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

We need one hell of a good fence long our southern border.

The former President of Mexico,Felipe Calderon, stated that there was no way that Mexio would pay for a US fence along the border.

From Canada Free Press:

“Mexican people, we are not going to pay any single cent for such a stupid wall! And it’s going to be completely useless,” Calderon said.

Apparently, Calderon’s words have reached the Donald’s ears. He offered his response earlier today on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” It was, in usual Trump fashion, short, blunt, and to the point.,Felipe Calderon

“Now the wall just got taller.”

We gotta elect this guy just so he can piss off the right people.

Forget The Drones - Secure Our Borders

Yo Donald - Stick These Along Your Border Fence With Mexico!

We need a few thousand of these cannons on our southern border perched atop a 25 foot high concrete fence.

Remotely operated and targeted - or - activated by infrared/motion to blast anything moving with a temperature of 98.6 F.

Drone-Killing Laser Cannon

Hang on to your drone. Boeing’s developed a laser cannon specifically designed to turn unmanned aircraft into flaming wreckage.

The aerospace company’s new weapon system, which it publicly tested this week in a New Mexico industrial park, isn’t quite as cool as what you see in Star Wars—there’s no flying beams of light, no “pew! pew!” sound effects. But it is nonetheless a working laser cannon, and it will take your drone down.

[...]Instead of a massive laser mounted on a dedicated truck, the compact system is small enough to fit in four suitcase-sized boxes and can be set up by a pair of soldiers or technicians in just a few minutes. At the moment, it’s aimed primarily at driving drones away from sensitive areas.

"At the moment" sez he. I can dream up another moment for a different kind of drone.

The new system is more scalpel than sledgehammer. It's laser, and, especially, the off-the-shelf gimbal (a fancy motor that can aim the laser and camera in any direction) it’s mounted on, make it precise enough to target different parts of a UAV.

How about using this scalpel to target the ass end of a taco-fueled, anchor-baby seeking, stealth  beaner drone?

Want to zap the tail so it crashes and then you can go retrieve the mostly intact drone and see who is trying to spy on you? Can do.

Mostly intact Mexicans crashing back across the Rio Grande into their home country with their tails zapped ...
*sniff*
Border security and a light show. Whatta deal.

Donald ... this is it. Your moment.

Our Border With Mexico Is Like A Wound Without A Scab

Source:

Approximately 25% of all federal prison inmates (about 54,000 in 2010) are aliens and 68% of them are from Mexico. From 2003 through 2009, the number of aliens in state and local prisons increased by about 10,000 per year, from 220,000 to almost 296,000.

Based on our random sample of 1,000 criminal aliens, we estimate that our study population of about 249,000 criminal aliens were arrested about 1.7 million times, averaging about 7 arrests per criminal alien, slightly lower than the 8 arrests per criminal alien we reported in 2005.23 They were arrested for a total of about 2.9 million offenses, averaging about 12 offenses per criminal alien, slightly lower than the 13 offenses per criminal alien we reported in 2005.24

The cost of maintaining these criminals is astronomical.

The estimated annual cost to incarcerate criminal aliens in BOP facilities plus SCAAP reimbursements ranged from about $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2005 to $1.6 billion in fiscal year 2009, as shown in figure 17. About 77 percent of these costs were associated with incarcerating criminal aliens in BOP facilities. In 2005, we estimated that the costs to incarcerate criminal aliens in BOP facilities along with SCAAP reimbursements ranged from about $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2001 to about $1.4 billion in fiscal year 2004.34 For data in fiscal year 2010 dollars, see appendix II. The cost to incarcerate criminal aliens in BOP facilities increased by about 15 percent from about $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2005 to about $1.3 billion in fiscal year 2009 due to increases in both the criminal alien population incarcerated and costs to incarcerate inmates in BOP facilities. SCAAP reimbursements to states and localities increased by about 5 percent from fiscal years 2005 to 2008.

Throw another $323 million in costs incurred by local and states on top of the $1.632 billion for federal criminal aliens and it cost about $2 billion in 2009 to house these morons.

The above stats are available here, from the United States Government Accountability Office, Report to Congressional Requesters: CRIMINAL ALIEN STATISTICS - Information on Incarcerations, Arrests, and Costs.

Mexico Releases Sgt. Tahmooressi

From Fox News:

After 214 days in a Mexican prison, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi crossed the US – Mexican border Friday night, boarding a private jet for Florida shortly after 9 p.m., after a strong diplomatic push appeared to help convince a judge to release the former Marine on humanitarian grounds.

After reviewing the ruling, Tahmooressi family spokesman Jonathan Franks said the judge acted on a recommendation from the PGR, the Mexican Attorney General's Office. In that motion, the prosecutor "essentially withdrew the charges," Franks said. Moments later, the trial judge issued an acquittal in Andrew's case, calling for an "immediate and absolute release."

His release comes after a lengthy, closed trial and a Congressional hearing in September highly critical of Obama Administration efforts to secure his release and Mexico’s refusal to let him go. Tahmooressi said he made an innocent mistake the evening he crossed into Tijuana with three weapons in his truck on March 31.

My wife and I were Skyping with our daughter this afternoon;  she is currently stationed at Fort Huachuca in Arizona.

She states that there are are precious few signs letting you know where you are and that depending on what cell tower your signal is bouncing from, you may suddenly see, "Welcome to Mexico" on your cell phone.

Take a look at the following. That straight, dark line at the bottom is the border. It wouldn't take much to find your self right on the border.

However, Sgt. Tahmooressi  perhaps doesn't have that excuse. He was arrested at the El Chaparral checkpoint as you go into Tijuana. This is the world's busiest border check point, not some little gated road with a toll booth and a sleepy guard. 

The Marine Sergeant apparently is suffering from PTSD and this may have been how the disorder was presenting itself back on 31 Mar 14 when he was arrested.

At any rate, thank God his ordeal is over, he is home and can receive treatment.

Circling The Drain....

The Mexican't authorities are finally making a token effort to slow the illegal deluge on our southern borders.

From Fox News:

SAN RAMON, Mexico – The lumbering freight train known as "The Beast," a key part of the route for migrants heading north to the United States, rolled to an abrupt, unscheduled stop in the black of midnight.

Mexican federal police and immigration agents had waited silently in the brush alongside for at least hour, visible only by the glint of their powerful flashlights.

As the train stopped, the area was suddenly flooded with spotlights as agents pounced from both sides of the track, scaling ladders to the tops of the freight cars and shouting: "Federal police! Give up! You're surrounded! Come down carefully!"

About a dozen men, some literally spitting with anger and desperation, were firmly led off the track, an agent's hand on the back of their necks neck, and taken to waiting vans for processing and deportation. Agents helped a lone female migrant clambering over a coupling between cars to reach their van, telling her "Walk carefully, don't fall."

"Don't touch me," she snarled.

Wait long enough and any toilet will stop flushing.

Thanks Mexico…

No American Soldier Left Behind

Except for this one.

Maybe if Sgt. Tahmooressi had been taken prisoner by Mexican police while in the act of deserting his unit he would be home by now...

Fox News tells us:

A Florida lawmaker Friday criticized President Obama for apparently not mentioning the jailed U.S. Marine who has been since March in a Mexican prison during a meeting with his counterpart in the country.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., said "it's pathetic" that the mother of Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi has to plead for her son's release from a Mexican prison while Obama apparently did not address the issue earlier in the day while meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto

"It is inexcusable, it is inexplicable, it is obscene, it is horrific," Ros-Lehtinen told Greta Van Susteren on "On the Record."

Tahmooressi, who suffers from PTSD and served in Afghanistan, has been languishing in custody since he was arrested in late March after he accidentally drove into the country with three legally purchased guns in his truck.
