Last week, I noted the murder of Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas.
He left behind a wife and two children.
His community in Arizona has set up several memorial funds.
The website “chipin” has a memorial page set up in honor of Agent Rosas. People can pay via credit or debit card. Proceeds will go to Rosas’ wife [...]

Robert Rosas, U.S. Border Patrol, R.I.P.

Well, it didn’t take long for partisan Democrats to blame the swine flu outbreak on the Republican Party.
Here’s the line: Since House Republicans all opposed the trillion-dollar-porkulus, which included funding for pandemic preparations, it’s all. Our. Fault.
No, really:
When House Appropriations Committee chairman David Obey, the Wisconsin Democrat who has long championed investment in pandemic preparation, [...]

No, he won’t.

Hey, how’s that $1.6 billion American-taxpayer-funded Merida Initiative to control crime and chaos in Mexico working out? Not so well. Not so well.
A bad situation keeps getting worse:
U.S. anti-kidnap expert kidnapped in Mexico
Mexican gunmen have kidnapped a U.S. security consultant who negotiated the release of dozens of kidnap victims in Latin America.
Gunmen abducted [...]

In case you hadn’t noticed, Mexico is in chaos. Beheaded and bullet-ridden bodies are turning up left and right along the southern border. Drug traffickers are running rampant in Sinaloa.

A federal official says assailants opened fire on the U.S. consulate in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey.
A spokeswoman for Mexico’s Attorney General’s [...]

Fence to Nowhere.

Fence? What fence? Border? What border?

Build the Reinforced Border Obstacle Now!

Dude.

Competing narratives.

Run silent, run shallow.

International meddlers order American states to halt death penalty executions.

PLUS: The new Danish cartoons–French pornography!

Grow your own arugula.

Precursors to terror. Plus a similar case in Mexico.

Coyotes targeted.

Invasion. (UPDATE)

Be still my beating heart…

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

How DARE a law enforcement officer enforce the law!

Collision course.

Back and forth and back and…oops…

Now why would they need those?

A tale of two fences.

Fence In Name Only, part 9,815.

Border security is a two-way problem.
