The Immigration Crisis

The Immigration "Crisis"

What is happening in Texas at the border right now, for anyone who actually knows people who have hired coyotes & crossed the border?  Its not ringing right.  The cost SIMPLY to cross the Mexico/US Border *IS* $4-$5000 US Dollars.  They do not take you from Guatemala, El Salvador, or Honduras for that amount.  To be toted by coyotes from those countries it would be 3-4x that amount per person.

So lets do a little education here.  Whip up mapquest.com & grab directions to get your way from those countries to the US, pick any of the border towns being heavily hit.  (McAllen, Brownsville, Laredo TX) Now get out a map of the areas of Mexico controlled by drug cartels.  Here is a link for your convenience:  http://island-adv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/53d1a125c89d96b9854c3abfc10d3c381.jpg

To put it bluntly, there is no way in hell women with children OR teenagers, males in particular, can get from any of the countries that are flooding our border without not only the cooperation of the Mexican government but of the cartels.  We ARE talking about over 2000 MILES of drug/gang controlled turf where young men will be shot without question.  Don't you remember Los Zetas hanging people from the bridges?  The mass bodies in cars beheaded?  I do.....

The border crossings are dangerous and filled with hours and hours and hours of walking through hostile territories that drug runners frequent, along with numerous poisonous snakes, coyotes (as in the animal), scorpions, poisonous spiders, and yes terrorists.  Have you seen the pictures of these people after they cross the river while they wait on INS?  They barely look dusty let alone like they traveled thousands of miles in treacherous terrain to get to the river.

They look as if they were bused to the crossing, flown in, or rode in a nice passenger train.  A young girl of 7 years of age would not make it alive alone to the border.  She would be grabbed by someone before hitting our country & forced into doing things none of us want to think about.  Yet everyone cries the children, we must help the children.  I agree we should help the children but perhaps these unasked questions need to be answered first.

How in the hell did they get to the northern edge of Mexico without being raped, maimed, murdered, or taken for sex acts with donkeys for the tourists amusement?  Why did the drug cartels let them through unscathed?  Or for that matter, the Mexican government.

For years the southern Mexican border has been impenetrable.  Why is it suddenly wide open?  WHO is doing this to us?

Open your eyes and look at the forest people, you are constantly distracted by trees and you are so failing at seeing the bigger picture.
