A dream come true? Well…almost.

Recently, the senate voted to build a triple wall along 370 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. So, at last our lawmaker friends have gotten a bit of maturity about this.

Hmmm…what took so long? It seems that our congressfolks, in their inaction, have been more than a little inhumane.

The ever-bright Dick Durbin is quoted as saying that if the measure passed, “our relationship with Mexico would come down to a barrier between our two countries.”

Well…not really. There are legal ways to get into the U.S. from Mexico. People have been doing it for many a year.

The impoverished, uneducated people of Mexico are told by coyotes that the nearest city is only a short walk in the desert. They walk through the desert in the heat like a child walks into the deep end of a pool. Many die, and many others suffer heat exhaustion.

The open border desperately needs to be closed. It is what is known in old English law as a “shining nuisance”. In other words, it is so attractive to people who are ignorant of the dangers, that it is a hazard in itself.

Making the border as secure as possible would make it less of an attractive (and dangerous) thing for illegal aliens.

“Mexico Drug War Report: Narcoregime In Deep Crisis-But Washington Still Underwrites Militarization” by Bill Weinberg lays out many of the outrages and atrocities committed by the Mexican government.

“On February 18, the Mexican Defense Ministry announced that Brig. Gen. Jesus Guitierrez Rebollo, Mexico’s top military Drug War pointman, had been arrested on charges of receiving payoffs from Juarez Cartel kingpin Amado Carrillo Feuntes (aka the ‘Lord of the Skies’)”

According to Weinberg, Gen. Gutierrez was linked to a wave of kidnappings that shook Mexico. Information found in a notebook dropped by a Sinaloa businessman who was abducted was traced to a military officer investigating the slaying of a federal antinarcotics police cammanderan investigation headed by Gen. Gutierrez. Frightening implications of how corrupt the Mexican military is.

If Mexico is this much of a danger to itself, imagine what a threat it will be to us when it attempts to export its entire lower class into the U.S.

Both houses of congress are currently working on legislation to attempt to deal with this problem. I don’t expect a serious solution out of these people. I hope no one else does either.

It is in the better interests of both major parties to pander to illegal aliens. Democrats see a huge new voter base, and Republicans are bending to the will of business’ desire for cheap labor.

The senate has already sold us out with their amnesty bill. Don’t expect much more from the house.
