Our Southern Border (Redux)

"If he can stay awake long enough, Slo Joe should see Lara Logan's show. He could learn something about real life. This is reality Joe - now do something! And start building the damn wall (again)!" 

If you have not yet seen it, I strongly encourage you to watch something vitally important. It is Lara Logan's "Lara Logan has no Agenda" series. The one I watched last night, was about her return to our southern border. Current, like since Biden has been sworn in current. She wanted to update her report on the southern border she put together last year. The only word I can used to describe this show is - "chilling".

She and one of the border agents, were by the banks of the Rio Grande, in the dark, at 4am in the morning. They were looking across the border into a small town in Mexico. It was a war zone. Small arms fire, heavy arms fire, grenades, everything you would expect to see and hear during a fire fight, in a war zone. But this is not a war zone. It is a border town, less than a mile from one of our Texas border towns. 

Just an aside for a minute. A few years ago when were on vacation in Columbia, I asked one of the locals if Columbia was still concerned by the violent drug trade which plagued that country for decades. "Oh, no. We got rid of all the drugs and dealers." I looked at him with a surprised expression. "Really? Were did they go? That was a huge industry." He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mexico. They all went to Mexico".

Back to this small border town on the Rio Grande. It was being torn apart by two rival cartels. Both were armed to the teeth. Both cartels have members (according to reporting), in 35 of our 50 states. One of the cartels had taken pictures of its troops. Some masked, some not. They looked like a cross between a well regulated militia and ISIS. And America is right in their bulls eye. Drugs, trafficking, sex, murder - you name it. It is all headed north.

What a great time for a clueless President, who is owned by everyone except the citizens and taxpayers, to abolish any border control. Everything, and everyone bad, is invited to hide within the flood of immigrants, who will soon be among us, thanks to the Obama era "catch and release" program. Congress better get off their dead asses and do something soon, or our southern states will start looking like northern Mexico. 

If he can stay awake long enough, Slo Joe should see Lara Logan's show. He could learn something about real life. This is reality Joe - now do something! And start building the damn wall (again)!
