At least Al Jazeera will cover the violence on the Mexican border…
Heres a post from Conservatives Defending Liberty that includes video of a report by Al Jazeera on the constant fear that ranchers along the Mexican border must live with. It includes a woman talking about the fact that she doesn’t leave her home without a revolver in her purse, and the fact that drug running illegals packing AK-47s cross ranches along the border frequently. This post also addresses the fact that if these kinds of crimes were taking place in a big city there would be outrage from the Drive-by Media and calls for more police, but here there is silence and the federal government refuses to do squat about it. Although there are promises of National Guard troops none have materialized…
“…you hear about gangs and how people are afraid to come outside at night. OK, that is bad I will grant you. Try this out, imagine those gangs operating in a military fashion with automatic weapons and numbering in the tens and twenty at a time. Further imagine that the police refuses to help, they flat out claim there is no problem.”
A valid comparison in my opinion.
There is a hint that some efforts are finally being made by the administration with the passing of a “border security” bill, but most people say it is a starting point at best and a ploy to improve public opinion at worst. Read about at the Daily Caller here…
