Who needs to build a wall?
I read this the other day, but Old Trooper sends us a link from Fox News’ Adam Housley that reinforces what we’ve all been warning about years – Hezbollah on our southern border working with cartels and building them car bombs as well as infiltrating our border;
The Obama Administration brags that it has sent more illegals back to Mexico than the previous administrations, but the problem isn’t sending illegals back, it’s keeping the new ones out in the first place. DHS has stopped building the wall and also touts it’s record of sending illegals back as proof we don’t need a wall.
As Housely says in the video, 180,000 “other than Mexicans” have been sent back, but how many have slipped through?

Nothing to see here; move along.
180,000 “Other than Mexican” doesn’t tell me truly squat in terms of what I should be looking for. There’s a difference between a Guatamalan looking for money, and a jihadist seeking martyrdom.
Re: #2
Well, just a little while back a radical muslim cleric was caught coming across the border in the trunk of a car. They have found jihadi propaganda books (dealing with martyrs) in the desert of Arizona and Texas, along known smuggling routes.
I don’t know; what more do you want?
I’m all for securing the southern border. But if we want to truly keep terrorists out we need to do the same for the northern border as well. Also we need to deny visa requests from all Muslims.
#3 OT: the system of categorizing border-crossers lends itself to hiding facts. These folks can either be more specific, or just make one aggregate category. For intelligence and action purposes, the more specific one gets, the better one can focus limited resources and even more-limited political will.
Yep. Beck may be an “entertainer” but so far, you gotta give the guy kudos. He said it and finally someone is paying attention. Not the MFM for sure.
DaveO; which folks are your talking about? If you’re talking about this administration, they probably know, but don’t want to admit what many have suspected for years; that there are jihadis crossing our Southern border. If you mean folks like the press; they couldn’t find their ass with both hands and a GPS most of the time, so I wouldn’t count on them being more specific.
Another thought: I wonder if Hezbollah is supplying weapons to the Cartels as well??? Of course, that would be at odds with this administrations standard mantra that the Cartels are getting all their weapons from the US. I don’t know, but I really haven’t seen a lot of fully automatic assault weapons for sale at my local gun shop, but I have seen pictures of not only full auto assault rifles (you could see the selector switch on several), but belt fed machine guns (a couple of M1919 browning’s in one pic alone), also, that were confiscated during raids.
OT, not to mention grenade-launcher equipped M-16/M-4’s. Last gun shop I went to, I saw one AR-15 style rifle, that was it. Lots of Remington 7400’s, but I don’t recall seeing any in the pics of weapons seized by the Mexican authorities. Yet the government wants licensed gun dealers to provide lists of people who buy more than one “long” gun in a week, down in the border states.
As has been pointed out, lots of soldiers in the Mexican army go AWOL, with their weapons. Not to mention, lots of M-16’s are available on the arms markets, and the cartels spend lots of cash on weaponry.
Bis Sis has said repeatedly that the border can not be fenced or secured 100%. I say bullshit, it seems to me that there was a fenced border manned with towers every so many feet along with patrols along two of the most hostile borders, the one’s between West and East Germany and North and South Korea. All it takes is the balls to do it. I often winder why Obama has never been to the border around Douglas Arizona and points west, then my very astute daughter tells me that if he went there and saw it in person, he couldn’t deny that the problem exists. What a Richard Cranium.
UpNorth: Well, I can’t say that about my favorite gun shop. I walk in and see a whole section of eeeeevil black guns. Of course, I live on the opposite border, so we don’t worry too much about it. Also, if someone made large purchases, my gun shop would flag it immediately (plus my state limits handgun/assault weapon purchases to 5 per year, I believe I never purchased more than that, before it gets automatically flagged). The problem is, the feds haven’t flagged the big purchases they claim are going across the border. They should have been on that from the first big purchase.
Hezbollah has the means and experience to run arms; so why wouldn’t the Cartels buy full auto weapons cheaper from Hezbollah than they can get semi-auto weapons from the US?
“the feds haven’t flagged the big purchases they claim are going across the border.”
…Ummm, the feds ARE doing the smuggling, ever hear of “Gunwalker”, basically, BATFE was smuggling guns across the border to smear legitimate U.S. gun dealers:

The U.S. is really hypocritical when it comes to foreign workers. I have no problem with people coming here looking for a better life for themselves and their families. What I do have a problem with is that we don’t know who’s coming over the border. None of the politicians want to anger the larger growing ethnic demographic by slamming the border shut. Neither will they admit that we need a guest worker program that accepts and tracks biometrically every person that comes over the border for work. Oh, and modify the 14th amendment to eliminate anchor babies.
@ #9 UpNorth
Your regional location probably has a lot to do with what you’ll see in your gun stores. Like Old Trooper’s, the stores here in AZ carry a wide assortment of assult weapons, including A LOT of Class III, and many, many people own them. One of life’s greatest pleasures is being at the range when one of the locals opens up with his WWII era MG42.
Vive` Arizona!!
And thank you for the link Jr AG, interesting reading.
@Jerry- Why exactly do we need a guest worker program when unemployment is in double digits?
I hate to say it ROS, but honestly, despite the posturing by Americans to the contrary, I have yet to find an out of work local willing to do the amount of work the migrant workers will do, for the same amount of money. I used to argue this one a lot with people around here, especially with some of the union folks, but they’d never put their money where their mouth is. Simply put, here in America money talks and B.S. walks when it comes to the average Joe’s bottom line.
It’s all an effect of the entitlement mentality and needs to be rectified. I can guarantee you that I can find a teenager willing to work for the same rates as trabajados, even if adults won’t. Cut off the unemployment and the welfare by implementing limits and heightening qualifications and they will get hungry.
I’m sure Joe will chime in with the “you’d just let their kids starve?” line, but nnobody is allowing it other than those who think they’re above labor.
Nobody, even.
I agree with you about the entitlement mentality ROS, believe it or not. But are you willing to pay $3+ for a pound of tomatoes, or $3-$4+ for a head of lettuce? I honestly don’t know that I am, in fact I would probably redouble my efforts to live independent of grocery stores if that happened, thereby contributing to even higher prices in my own small way. Like much of the conservative core I think Americans are better served by focusing on higher goals than working the fields, let the migrant workers have at it, but of course that’s rather hard to implement while the Lib’s insist on pushing education based on the lowest common denominator. It’s a vicious and depressing cycle we seem to be locked into, I freely admit I haven’t an inkling of how to actually fix it.
I have a garden.
There are numberous ways, starting with advocation of local small businesses. Prices go down, money goes back into the community, voila. I’m more than willing to pay 20% more when a percentage of that is going back into my community.
Believe it or not, I’m not some apathetic fiend bent of seeing people fail. I do possess a modicum of altruism.
“I do possess a modicum of altruism.”
I never assumed different, lol.
My fiancé and I enjoy gardening to, though since we’re both just starting over again we haven’t got our production back up to what we’re both used to.
Unfortunately produce prices around here would jump considerably more than 20%. When I can normally get a head of lettuce for $0.99, $3 a head represents about a 203% increase. Other produce around here could follow.
Farmer’s markets are common around here, and I do willingly pay 50% to 100% more than chain prices on occasion to get better quality produce and help out the locals. The large grocers however are still the norm and that’s prolly not gonna change anytime soon, local production only meets a fraction of the need.
That’s a large part of the problem (reliance on larger grocers and businesses in general), especially in border states such as ours.
Frankly, if you’re supplying 2/3 of kids’ daily meals via state funding to schools when that money could go to programs for farmers to provide employees’ benefits and incentives, thus reducing overall cost, there’s a problem.
There are ways and means to encourage Smericans to take jobs that liberals say only illegals will do, we (read: politicians) just don’t have the testicular fortitude to implement them.
And Americans, too. I’ve never actually been to Smerica.
“supplying 2/3 of kids’ daily meals via state funding to schools……there’s a problem”
Boy oh boy, you nailed that puppy right on the head.
Disclaimer: This Ain’t Hell doesn’t actually endorse nailing puppies on the head.
LMELAO!!!!
JACOBITE:
Soooo, you are saying that because you would like lower priced groceries that we should allow illegal immigration. I would wager that if we would agree to give unlimited immigration to Jihadis from whatever Arabian country that they could lower our crude prices too.
Remove the exorbitantly high welfare payment, (more than double what my Social Security pays per person), improve the visa system to allow more legal migrants to come in, and this would keep groceries within range.
In my youth, just after WW-II, my father and others hired migrants under something called “The Bracero Act”. This allowed migrants to enter legally, make their money, and at the end of the crop harvest to go back home.
I am vehemently against Illegal Immigration, whether they be Meskins, Canadians, or Iranians.
We built this country on legal immigration, and that is not the problem.
Nailing seals, OTOH…
No Frank, go back and begin reading from post #15, I said nothing in support of Illegal Immigration at all. ROS asked the question in #15, “Why exactly do we need a guest worker program”, I was addressing that. Migrant workers here on work visas are not illegal immigrants, and they arguably are an important part of the Southwestern agricultural economic landscape. My stance on Illegal Immigration is best described as zero tolerance. I think they should be prosecuted to fullest extent and shipped back home, kids and all, as soon as they are found. Period.
DaveO why do you got to be dissin’ Mexicans? WTF u racist sheep rapin bastid
Ok, this topic has been going on for some time and I’m a late comer but I think I have some insight that might be useful. I live in Phoenix, Az and I have seen 1st hand what the illegals have done and are doing to this city. For anyone familiar with Phoenix, my daughter and grandchildren live in a very nice neighborhood at 7th Street & Bell Road. Recently A “drop house” was busted in a neighborhood of $250k homes. The last Phoenix police officer that was killed in the line of duty was killed by an illegal, my sister is with PD. A while back a Phoenix Fire Engine was hit by a round while responding to a call in a predominantly illegal neighborhood, my brother is with fire. My sister with the Human Services Dept is not allowed to ask the immigration status of her clients, if they have supporting documents, the get monetary support thanks the grants from federal, state or county agencies. Every department in the city has certified translators and interpreters. Each of these folks is paid a stipend
between $50 & $100 a month. I know this is true because I work for the city too and am paid $100 a month because I’m a certified interpreter. The illegal who killed the police officer? He had been deported three, tres, 3 times. We caught hell for SB1070 but how many states have enacted similar laws? As Senator/Captain McCain said, “Build the dang fence”. Our southern border is more porous than a sieve. I see it every day.
Thank you for some other great post. Where else could anyone get that type of info in such an ideal means of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such info.
Hey Hondo, the online casinos are spamming! Where’s that filter?
@32 is a spammer!
