Mexican Smuglers Get Bolder

The US/Mexico border crossing at San Ysidro, California was closed and later reopened this morning after three vans packed with illegal aliens zipped through.


The driver of the first van handed his driver's license to the border guard, and when the guard turned to his booth, all three vans made a mad dash through the border.

This time it wasn't drug smuggling, but human trafficking. But alas, this is another case of "the stupidest criminals". Thinking to avoid the traditional methods of sneaking into the country, they missed that whole thing about California traffic.

Don't these guys get CNN or Fox News? Car chases never turn out in a good way. Pendejos.

It's the Government, Stupid

The core of the problem is that the government refuses to take responsibility for border security. And I'm not throwing stones at any particular administration here. No, none of them have shown any testicular tendencies in running an effective program.

Hussein Obama, Bush, Clinton; none of them have done their job on this issue. The government has no issues with using citizen's tax dollars to protect other countries, but it won't protect it's own citizens.

And it's not just the illegals aliens being allowed to take jobs while Americans are enduring a monumental unemployment rate. It's the drug war spilling across the border. It's the Mexican gangs running operations openly in our "sanctuary cities".

It's time for hope and change, but in actuality this time, not more empty campaign promises.

Van Jones, an American Cry Baby

Van Jones is a typical liberal. First, his behavior is more ghetto than professional, and then when he gets called on the carpet to answer for his juvenile demeanor, he attacks those who objected to his antics.

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

Smear campaign? Lies and distortions? What did I miss here? All those videos about Columbine, crackheads, and @$$hole Republicans were "manufactured", I suppose.

The marks of a real man are not only to act appropriately, but to be accountable for one's actions. Jones can do neither. He's a pathetic excuse for an American man. The real question is why he was appointed to a position of such authority (Green Czar) in the first place.

It stinks of the Chicago politics that Obama brought to the White House and how he runs it. Somehow, none of this surprising. Very few of his appointees have paid their taxes until forced to do so to accept the job (but have no problem levying more taxes on us in fly-over country).

Jones goes on to say, "It has been a great honor to serve my country and my President in this capacity. I thank everyone who has offered support and encouragement. I am proud to have been able to make a contribution to the clean energy future. I will continue to do so, in the months and years ahead."

Mr. Jones, don't drag my country's name through the mud by associating yourself with it. You have no honor and certainly no capacity for answering honestly for you misdeeds. A Harvard-educated person who signs a petition without reading it?

Sir, you disgrace this great nation and your school.

League City Police "Crack Down" on Illegal Aliens

Ah, justice at last. According to 1070 AM radio yesterday, League City, Texas police are cracking down on illegal aliens that congregate to solicit day labor work.

Of course, the illegals have been doing it for years while the law turned a blind eye to people who break the law in multiple ways - sneaking across the border illegally, working without a social security number, not paying employment-related taxes yet consuming social services, etc.

So why the sudden move by the city? According to the Houston radio station, the illegals had the gall to expand operations beyond convenience store parking lots to, gasp, the police station parking lot.

Not only were they soliciting illegal work (that's OK; wink, wink, nod, nod) but they had the nerve to actually litter in the parking lot and whistle at female police officers. Now, that's crossing the line, buster!

This is a huge problem in the entire Houston metroplex area, make no mistake about it. We've seen how it's brought down the economy in California. Yet Houston mayor Bill White continues to wear blinders and continues the city's sanctuary city stance. Pure folly.


But it's easy to take that liberal stance when you're a politician and not a carpenter, welder, or landscape worker having to compete with under-the-table workers. Yes Bill, let's keep those votes rolling in; everybody likes to have their cheap lawn mowing service.

I did a drive-by of day labor congregation spots this morning along FM 518 in League City. Sure enough, They are not in the convenience store parking lots now. They've re-located to empty lots next to the convenience stores.

I guess LCPD is really putting the fear of God into them. Unfortunately, now we are going to have a traffic issue since there is no parking lot for day labor pick-up.

As a journalistic experiment, I approached the illegals at one labor hook-up spot and asked who would be willing to take $20 for a 1 hour job. They not only laughed at me, they called me a "pinche bolillo". (They didn't realize I'm bilingual.)

Gratitude is everything, yes? I'm all for helping my fellow man, but not when he takes food off my plate, spits in my face, and my elected officials favor illegals over citizens.

Cozying up to Cuba

It's no secret that Obama wants to be embraced by his socialist and communist brethren. Since Cuba is close to home, and we have so many Cubans living in the US that would like to reconnect, his assumption that that is the place to test the waters.

After all, it stands to reason that this is where he can garner the most support. His stated objectives are to "recast" relations with the island nation, with whom we've kept in embargo status for the past 47 years.

There is good reason for that. When Fidel Castro decided to alienate his nation, remove freedoms, and oppress and starve his people, we took the high ground for moral reasons, not political ones.

Unfortunately, with Obama, ideology trumps human values.


And at the end of the day, this is Obama's fatal flaw, and it is tripping him up now. He came into office with very little experience on the state level and none on the national or global level. (Yes, he was in the senate, but he spent all that time campaigning for president.) In other words, an intellectual with no experience based in reality. Naive.

When he went on his worldwide "apology tour", bowing to Petro-tyrant kings and handing out iPods to the Queen, his assumption was that with enough kowtowing and abdicating his assumed title of Leader of the Free World, the rest of the globe's leaders would make nice with us.

But now he's starting to see that this is not how it works in the real world where political and economic reality is ruthless. His numbers are slipping into the sea, and no number of NYC fly-over pranks and beer summits will distract the American public from the fact that he is ill-prepared to lead the nation, and certainly not lead on a global level.

He is, as we say in Texas, "All hat and no cattle."
