Who Is Protecting the Border

Post 911 we saw the formation of the Department of Homeland Security.  Whose primary responsibility was to hunt down terrorists.  Enter the Border Patrol whose primary mission was and has been to stop, detain, identify and deport illegal aliens along with interdicting the flow of narcotics into the United States.

After September 11th , the mission of the Border Patrol changed somewhat, from locating illegal aliens and narcotics, to locating terrorists along our Southern Borders. What a change.  As far as I know, I have not heard of any terrorists being detained anywhere along our 2000 mile Border.  Just because no terrorists have been located, does not mean they are not here; it simply means they have not been located.  If any terror suspects have been located, we are not being told about it at this point.

On the surface, our southern border seems to be a perfect location for terrorists to use to sneak into the U.S.  With its established smuggling corridors, the Mexican border seems ripe for a terror gateway.  Every year, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants pass through what are basically unprotected areas along our 2,000-mile long border with Mexico.  Could sleeper cells be mixed in with the thousands of illegals that enter our country yearly, as I mentioned earlier, the answer is you bet your life they do, believe it my friend, they are here living normal life, just like you and I do.  Just waiting for the call. You can count on it. The FBI have done an excellent job locating terrorists that have been located within our borders.

Troubling as this might sound,  it seems to have gotten worse, not only the unchecked smuggling of illegal immigrants and narcotics. The fighting that has erupted has spilled over our Southern Border endangering our Border Patrol and law enforcement officers.They are fighting for the smuggling routes that have been in place for hundred of years.  If the Obama administration is not going to help, they need to move the hell over and get out of the way, because frankly, they are getting in the way.
