Another War The White House Ignores

By Semperpapa

The news of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s murder on Tuesday is certainly not a surprise. It was only a matter of time before the declared war against the United States on the part of Mexico was going to translate into the death of one of our officers.

The situation at the southern border of our Nation is beyond bad, closer to unsustainable.
What we are experiencing, and what is the root cause of the loss of life, is open warfare on the part of a foreign entity against our country and our rule of law.
Sure, it is not the Mexican government openly conducting bellicose acts against the United States, but it is the Mexican government that does not address the scourge of the violence in the northern states of Mexico with the determination necessary.

But the bulk of responsibility rests on the US government for years of unchecked lax attitude toward the problem of open border.
The killing of agent Terry took place 16 miles inside US sovereign territory, but an area, more like a swat of land paralleling the border itself, where the US government has basically relinquished control of US territory.
Instead of deploying the Military and sealing the border, Obama, through the DHS, installed a number of signs indicating that the area was dangerous for US citizens because of marauding drug runners and gangs of illegal aliens.

It is hard to grasp the meaning of the actions that the US government has been engaging in regard to illegal immigration. Millions of illegal aliens roaming the nations and clogging the social structure and creating a level of chaos that should be addressed vigorously instead, have created the perfect conditions for the level of condescension toward the actions of clearly identifiable criminals.
I am not massing the multitude of illegal aliens working in the shadows in America with the number of those who take advantage of the situation to perpetrate their criminal activities, but the defiance of the rules of our nation cannot go unchecked.

The regulations governing the legal immigration of people from any country, including Mexico, into the United States are there to assure that our country would maximize the character value of those admitted into the country. The process is designed to weed out those whose background and behavior is not up to the standards of the United States.
Already circumventing such process and entering the country illegally is a proof of poor judgment. Starting a live in another country as a criminal is not the best choice.

Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and every other innocent person who lost their lives or have been victimized by illegal alien criminals are the casualties of a war that our political leadership has been ignoring for way too long.
In the pursuit of cheap labor and potential electoral support, elected politicians have been allowing the travesty to continue undisturbed for years.
In the 1980s then President Reagan granted amnesty to about 3 million illegal aliens, in the hope that the move would put a stop to additional illegal aliens entering the country.
20 years later, the estimated number of illegals is ten fold that amount.

And while the family of agent Terry is mourning the death of their loved one, the amoral agents of defeat in Washington are pushing for another amnesty for the sole purpose of securing an electoral block for their side.
More appeasement of another of America’s enemies continues, while those in power continue to ignore the danger they place the Nation in.

Just my thoughts!
