This Nightline video comes courtesy of Stand with Arizona and it clearly details that there is a low intensity conflict on the border between the failing Mexican state, powerful criminal gangs mistakenly called drug cartels (they make as much money from slave trading and extortion as they do from dealing) and Americans who have been abandoned by an uncaring federal government. For those of you close to the ever widening conflict zone this video gives a good glimpse into not just what the conflict entails, but what it takes to live through it. As Mexican paramilitaries and revolutionary groups push their control zones further into America, this is the type of living conditions many Americans will face.
At around 2:08 the report shows footage of Mexican drug/human smugglers in a firefight with law enforcement using Mexican military vehicles and weapons:
Latin American instability is not a concern just for border towns. Americans need to prepare for civil unrest as the transnational cartels exrt more and more control over not just border areas but major cities where they have established footholds either directly or through proxies who are known to work with them like MS-13.
Maintaning our border is serious business. It’s nice to see a story in the mainstream media not just calling Americans racist for wanting that. It’s also nice to see a Sheriff who understands the 2nd amendment.
It sickens me to see local Minnesota cities like St. Paul declaring them selves sanctuary cities and boycotting Arizona.
Have you heard the latest news to make the rounds? According to Senator John Kyl, Obama told him flat out he wasn’t going to enforce border security, because if he did that “you guys” (Republicans in Congress) wouldn’t have any reason to vote for comprehensive immigration reform. That right there on its own should be grounds for impeachment. November just can’t come quick enough.
Patrick – I heard that. I’m not surprised. I’m beginning to believe that Obama wants the country overrun not just for political reasons but for radical ones. I used to think he was just another empty suit/elitist, now I’m pretty sure he’s a communist.
KnightofPan – The hard left wants there to be a civil war, for some reason. Boycoting AZ will only collapse that state and give it to the cartels. Once that happens war in America is inevitable.
