Americans Know Little About Life Along U.S.-Mexico Border
(September 14, 2007) A 17 year old hit-man, a public park overrun by homeless illegals and constant battles between the federal government and locals over a simple border fence.

Those are just a few of the features of everyday life for Americans living along the porous U.S. Mexican border.

"Americans don't realize how dangerous and crazy it is down here," one border security official told U.S. Border Security Council. "The locals hate the federal government because it won't listen to their concerns about placement of the border fence, and the violence is awful."

The violence is indeed horrific, as evidenced by the recent trial of 17-year old Rosario "Bart" Reta. Reta was part of a covert assassination team that was stationed in Texas by a Mexican drug cartel. On orders from the cartel, Reta and his team would wait quietly in America until needed to kill a rival gang member or a member of U.S. law enforcement.

Reta has told investigators that he personally killed 30 people back in Mexico starting when he was thirteen and that he received training in marksmanship and grenade throwing at a narco-terrorist boot camp in Mexico.
Threats towards ordinary residents of border towns don't come only from the drug gangs. Waves of illegal immigrants pose threats as well. In a park in McAllen, Texas, homeless, illegal immigrants have taken over, spending their days drinking, sleeping and carousing where families once felt safe to enjoy the outdoors.

"Americans living along the border are in a form of limbo where the U.S. Government has very little control and offers way too little protection to its citizens," says U.S. Border Executive Director Brice Griffin. "It's high time we save these people from this fate," she adds.

Violence Marks Still Unsecured Frontier

(August 2, 2007) "I don't know which is worse, Iraq or the U.S. Mexican border, and I've been to both places," one border security official told the U.S. Border Security Council.

Indeed, the U.S.-Mexico frontier looks very much like a war zone. Every week more bodies turn up. Some are poor Mexicans encouraged by America's lax immigration laws to sneak across the barren frontier and who die alone in the desert. Others are victims of the vicious gangs of drug smugglers and "coyotes" who traffic in illegal aliens.

These heavily armed gangs regularly confront the U.S. Border Patrol and seem to be more in control of the region than the governments of either America or Mexico. Gun battles between gangs are common. Beheadings and bombings are not unusual.

Despite the violence and chaos, few Americans realize the true magnitude of the border crisis. Main stream media outlets rarely cover the mayhem. The border is too remote. It's hot and there are few luxury hotels. Most of the so-called immigrants' right activists have no response when confronted with the dangerous facts of the border crisis. Instead they simply demand that more impoverished Mexicans be encouraged to make the dangerous and illegal trip.

Along the border, one source tells U.S. Border Security.info the federal government is actually the enemy of law abiding citizens. "The feds are either too arrogant to listen to the people down here and their concerns or too incompetent to stand up to the gangs," he explains.

"Many border communities are actually going broke from having to perform all the autopsies on the bodies they find in the desert. It's sad and frustrating," the official adds. But the problems don't end there. Corruption of Mexican officials is so widespread that their "cooperation" with American authorities is nearly worthless.
