Meanwhile, Back On The Mexican Border...

Hope and Change are being spread far and wide, and we should all breathe a sigh of relief, don'-cha-know. Those poor Mexican peasants just want a better life for their families, so how could we get upset if they cross the border? After all, we're all immigrants from somewhere, right?

Well, this video came up on the OS radar today.  A note of explanations to preface it:

Hunters use 'game cameras' to scout out where the deer/turkey etc travel and at what hours.  A motion-sensitive camera is tripped, a digital recording is silently made, and can be downloaded, complete with date and time stamp.  Kinda' neat, huh Wally? Beats sitting day after day in a blind, freezing one's backside off.

It seems that some private citizens placed game cameras in some pretty remote areas along the border, and they captured images of a lot more than the local antelope.  These Mexicans have guns, as in Mac-10 guns.  Full-auto guns. A lot more than one would need for protection from snakes or harvesting a deer along the way. OS hears rumors that, well, bad people like drug runners pack this kind of heat.



I know I'd love to work in law enforcement, confronting these guys with my trusty 9mm Glock or .38 Smith and Wesson.  What could possibly go wrong?

But, not to worry! TheWan's budget eliminates Border Patrol positions, and removes funding for the border fence.  And Janet Napolitano assures us everything is improving on the border. 

So, therefore, in the interests of everyone being civil, as our President urged this week, we must conclude that everything is improving on our southern border. To say otherwise would be, well, uncivil.
