#1 I have a feeling the gang bangers are the ones who will learn a lesson.

#2 Close the border properly - if these illegal alien dickheads take it to a level of violence against citizens (above the already rampant crime levels) - Mexico will see a fence go up along the entire border, shutting off their relief valve. Think Mexico might have something to say to the Maras?

#3 If I were border crossers I believe I would avoid the Naco/San Pedro River region. The thirty mile sector will probably be crawling with crazies (including the FBI) of numerous political persuasions.

#5 There will be some shootings, then the Mex's will run a vehicle full of pregnant women into a roadblock to entice someone to fire to protect himself. Oh, the horror, the humanity of it all.[/sarcasm]

#6 BTW, Thank you Supreme Court for keeping creatures like Ebner Anivel Rivera-Paz alive, so he can continue to be a threat to the average American citizen, his/her family, and the community in general. Time for the consent to be withdrawn.

#7 Actually, I think this would be a fine exercise for the new Counterintelligence Office.

#8 It will take some kind of a violent incident, or two, or three, or so to wake people up and get the Congress and the President off their collective duffs and deal with this open southern border issue. Then, once they get things going in the right direction, we will have to deal with the Supremes on this issue. Something like this issue is going to trigger a showdown in this country. The pain in my side sez so.

#9 My cousin Wallace lives in Tombstone.... he collects rifles.

#10 If it weren't that some of them are going to die violently, causing some of us to ponder the idea of agonizing over what they had to do, the idea of an imprisoned gangster threatening those who would control the borders of the country that jailed him would be too ironic for words. As it is, of course, I've managed to put a great many words down, so clearly it isn't. ;-)

#11 This can't play well for Vicente Fox. He needs that border open. The Bangers are really gonna mess things up for him if the Feds finally start getting serious about border security.

#12 I wrote an article on my weblog several weeks ago that the military needs to take over border security. I think this confirms it. I would also consider issuing a call for the formation of local militias to provide additional manpower and support. Let the government issue the weapons, define patrol zones, and establish the rules of engagement, and each Militia could determine everything else. It's not enough to close JUST the southern border, however: the northern border is just as much a threat from terrorists. Perhaps even moreso, since Canada seems to have this death wish as far as Muslim immigrants are concerned.

It would only take a few months to get rid of Vincente Fox. Just close the border TIGHT to EVERYTHING, including trade. Mexico would fold faster than the Hindenburg. The question is, do we really want that? I think one of the reasons Bush is pushing the "guest worker"/amnesty plan is because anything else would truly push Mexico into such an unstable condition anything could happen. We need to both find a way to close our southern border and continue to keep Mexico from collapsing under its own load of socialism, and work for reforms. It's like walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls with one foot in a cast.

#13 I have a couple of old motorcycle buddies that live out in that area....they REALLY like to be left alone. Some of their stories about the illegals are hair raising...from the illegals point of view....
Out in that vicinity, you take care of your own property and problems....if a "gunfight" comes down...bet on the guys with the most guns. The funny thing is, these guys dont think the government will protect them and their best interests...and I agree, so, they just assume its up to them to take care of the problem....and they will.

#14 You have to wonder what the coyotes think about hardcore gangbangers with terrorist connections muscling in on their turf, and provoking the U.S. into- maybe- finally building the fence. That cant make them happy. And they are out there every night, there is a real intelligence asset waiting to be tapped. Money will talk with them, too.

I grew up in that part of the world, OP, and you paint a very effective word picture! LOL funny :-)
