I wonder how many hits they might make here, and will those in DC try to pass them off as cabbage pickers doing work Americans won't do?

Mexican drug cartels give hit men OK for attacks in U.S. | Front page | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

EL PASO — Warring Mexican drug cartels have given their hit men permission to cross into the United States to kill their targets, according to warnings received by U.S. authorities.
Police and federal agents told The Associated Press about the warnings today, and official along the border are beefing up security.
"We received credible information that drug cartels in Mexico have given permission to hit targets on the U.S. side of the border," El Paso Police spokesman Officer Chris Mears said. "One of the first things we did was to notify all officers in our department of the situation."
Mears says authorities learned of the threat last week. U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Border Patrol officers have also been told about the threat and have ramped up security at border crossings.
"We are aware of it and we are addressing it," Chief CBP Officer Rick Lopez said. "CBP is on heightened alert ever since we became aware of the threats in Mexico."
Drug cartel violence has claimed thousands of lives across Mexico this year. Nearly 800 people have been killed this year in Ciudad Juarez, a hard-scrabbled city of about 1.3 million people across the Rio Grande from El Paso.
More than two dozen gunshot victims have been taken across the border for medical treatment in El Paso, prompting security lockdowns at the county hospital and raising concerns in Texas that the violence could spill across the border.

I would like to see that Ruben Navarette a-hole from CNN write a commentary on this subject, for once, instead of writing about how we need to teach our kids Spanish because it will be the official language in 40 years.

We are so spineless. We need to take our country and government back.

"One of the first things we did was to notify all officers in our department of the situation" and then we told them not to shoot back.

They really need to change the laws of engagement on the southern border

When is someone from these border states going to grow some balls and do something if not for their own state and citizens but for the whole country? What, exactly, is it going to take?

A road trip, lot's of ammo, and defiance of the law

And here we are more worried about Al Qaida sneaking in Iraq's border... ours is UN-ATTENDED.

Fail.
