Post From Retired Border Agent on Mexican Drug Cartel

I'm a retired U.S. Border Patrol supervisor with 32 years experience. I am now a board member of NAFBPO, a group of dedicated former Border Patrol agents--some who attained the highest rank in the agency--who are fighting illegal immigration, amnesty and all the criminal activity that occurs on the border and in this country. As Lt Col Ollie North recently showed on his program, there is a war going on in Mexico and on our border. And as you have pointed out, Greta, it is slopping over into this country, particularly in Arizona and Texas. 

How long will it be until our law enforcement officers are finding mass graves on our soil? How long before the violent drug cartels with their thugs in our cities start assassinating our police chiefs, mayors, journalists and others who oppose their criminal activities? Not long, I judge as I believe it has already started. 

How long are American residents along the border going to be able to withstand being attacked, intimidated and murdered by cartel thugs? On top of the drug cartels, there are now credible rumors that Hezbollah and possibly other Islamic terrorist organizations are in Mexico, and have crossed our border. 

People who close their eyes to this menace are fools, or worse! We need to gain control of the southern border now! And that means American troops and equipment to close it down. But to hear what is coming from the White House..."All's quiet on the Southwestern front."
