Mexican Army

So reading along at my www.worldnetdaily.com I find myself stuck at the title

Mexican army invades U.S., holds border cop at gunpoint!!!! http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=71609
Now my first thoughts to this is Why in the hell is the Mexican ARMY invading...{Which mind you is something that a lot of us have been saying for years..'The invade will come, its just a matter of when'} So I continue to read the article: **I have added to the article my two cents..***

Mexican army soldiers invaded U.S. territory and held a member of the U.S. Border Patrol at gunpoint, according to a report from the union representing the guards.
"Unfortunately, this sort of behavior by Mexican military personnel has been going on for years," a statement from Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council said.
"They are never held accountable, and the United States Government will undoubtedly brush this off as another case of 'Oh well, they didn't know they were in the United States,'" the group said.
The organization reported the Tucson Sector Border Patrol agent was held Sunday at gunpoint near Ajo, Ariz.
{ Did anyone catch that part..You see it..the part of "Unfortunately, this sort of 'BEHAVIOR' by the Mexican military personnel has been going on for years." Now, I could be totally on the other side of the fence so to speak, {No pun intended} but is this who we want to be doing trade with, let alone any sort of business with? }
The article continues :
"Mexican military personnel crossed over the border and pointed rifles at him," the union said. "Backup units arrived from the Ajo Border Patrol station, and the Mexican military personnel eventually returned to Mexico." WND reported an investigation by Judicial Watch that revealed dozens of armed incursions by Mexican soldiers and police into the U.S. during fiscal year 2007.
The report obtained by the Washington-based organization that investigates and prosecutes government corruption documented 29 confirmed incidents along the U.S.-Mexican border involving Mexican military and/or law enforcement personnel during that time.
{I know your reading this wondering what the heck is going on here/why in world would this be happening..this cannot be happening here..we America the strong ones don't put up with this..well I have to tell you first of all we are not as strong as we used to be, and the ole saying goes that sooner or later things come back to haunt ya..and I think there is some of that going on right now. Anyway the article goes on:}
"These documents not only show the dangerous and chaotic situation at the Mexican border, but also the complicity of some Mexican government agents in violating U.S. law," {Did you catch that one?} said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said at the time of the report.
"The U.S. government must begin to take these incidents more seriously, publicize them and take measures to bring the crisis at our border under control," he said.{Again, a lot of us have been saying this for years..but it will never happen because we don't WANT TO HURT THAT POLITICAL RACE COMING UP, YOU KNOW ITS ALL ABOUT THE MIGHTY DOLLAR, AND THE BUSINESS THAT IS HAPPENING, AND WHO WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE HURT FEELINGS TOWARDS..CAUSE GOD FORBID WE ACTUALLY STAND ON OUR OWN TWO FEET AND RUN OUR OWN COUNTRY}
Referring to Sunday's encounter, the Border Patrol union said it was "fortunate that this incident didn't end in a very ugly gunfight."
The situation isn't altogether new, the union said.
"A few years ago the Mexican military went a step further and put a .50 calibre rifle round through the rear window of a Border Patrol agent's patrol vehicle south of Ajo. Nothing was ever done. Nobody was ever held accountable. Particularly galling is the fact that the Mexican military often pulls these stunts in Humvees donated to them by the American taxpayers (although they were apparently on foot this time)," the union said. {I THINK I AM GOING TO BE SICK, and the reason I am about to be sick is the fact that our border agents cannot go after a drug smuggler on our American soil and those Border Agents [Ignacio] Ramos and [Jose] Compean. are the ones that are being sentence as if they did something wrong? What am I missing here? How would you like to be a Border Agent and have kids and explain to them why you are locked up..can you look your child in the eye and say 'For going after the bad guys?' meanwhile you are locked up? What is the message we are sending? How can this keep going on day after day, and no one seems to give a damn about those Border Agents..why are we even still calling them Border Agents if the Government will NOT allow them to PROTECT OUR BORDER?}
According to a report in the Washington Times, it was unclear exactly what the Mexican soldiers were doing inside the U.S., but the report said law enforcement authorities long have said Mexican soldiers have been hired to protect drug and migrant smugglers.
The National Border Patrol Council represents non supervisory personnel among the Federal agency's estimated 16,000 agents.
Ricardo Alday of the Mexican Embassy in Washington told the Times his nation and the U.S. are pursuing "an all-out struggle to deter criminal organizations from operating on both sides of our common border.'
"Law enforcement operations have led, from time to time, to innocent incursions by both U.S. and Mexican law enforcement personnel and military units into the territory of both nations, and in particular along non-demarcated areas of our border," he told the newspaper.
But local law enforcement authorities are worried. Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr. of Zapata County, Texas, founded a coalition of sheriffs demanding the U.S. and Mexican governments investigate incursions.
He said the problem needs to be solved before "someone gets killed."
On the Post's forum page, a participant said, "I'm surprised the Bush administration doesn't arrest and convict the border agents involved like they did agents [Ignacio] Ramos and [Jose] Compean. Don't worry, soon we won't have borders anyway. We'll be the North American Union, and will be nothing more than a third world oligarchy just like good 'ol Mexico." {This again is what a lot of Americans blog about, write to our government about, and complain about..we are trying to get that voice out there all the time to prevent that from happening, as we see it..that is what we are afraid of everyday}
Added another, "My brother-in-law, a very wise man, suggested years ago that we build a half-mile wide trench the length of the Mexican border with guard towers every 100 yards, fill it with all the chemical and nuclear waste we have, and then shoot anything that glows in the dark. He was right."
The Judicial Watch report for 2007 had cited earlier incidents such as one at the Fort Hancock Station in El Paso:
"[Troopers] attempted to apprehend three vehicles believed to be smuggling contraband on I-10 … As the vehicles approached the border, [troopers] stated that a Mexican Military Humvee armed with a .50 caliber weapon and several soldiers were seen assisting smugglers return to Mexico … Officers then noticed several armed subjects dressed in fatigue type clothing unload the contraband into the Humvee. These subjects set fire to the stalled vehicle before leaving the area."

I don't know if I am pissed off more or just plain disgusted in how our government is handling this? I would like to have answers!!!!

Where did my pay go?

Do you spend your 40+hrs a week working?
Do you then bring home your pay and wonder where did it all go?

I do!! I am beyond the point of even worrying anymore. Both of us are working our butts off and we pay for the gas in our ONE vehicle. There is no way we could even get another vehicle with the price of gas, insurance, registration ect. So we play the taxi service. What more can people do? The really bad part is that, I really have a good job..the pay is decent. How can that be?

Let me break it down for you TAXES!!!! I don't know how anyone can survive with the taxes that we are getting taxed on right now. I don't know if its just me, but it appears to be driving further and further up. Everything is going up..food, gas, tax, interest rates, taxes..but our pay stays at the same level that its been for the last few years.

There are so many things that are driving people to desperate measures..I just wondered how is everyone making through these times..and wondering how much longer you think we have?

Our lost America

There seems to be this over coming news lately of either more and more jobs being lost, economy at its lowest since the depression {which I keep hearing after the stock market closes, or yet another record loss of profits for one of the auto manufactures} The thing is, that we keep paying more and more for our survival. Its like a struggle every day and I know we are not alone here.
The election is coming upon us and I have to say that I think its actually time to have everyone unite and think about our other options. I know, some of you are saying "we don't have any other options, we only have the two people that are running" That is only if you really feel you want to vote for either of the two. What if you don't like either of the two options, then who do you vote for? Would you know something about the other person? Would you write someone in? Will you just not vote? I don't expect anyone to answer me, but to just think back in our History of America and How we got things changed in this great country. We did that with a voice, and a voice to be heard. Right now seems to make the biggest difference ever. I sit here as the days get closer to election and think of our future and the future of our kids and what type of life they will have if we are struggling so much now. Our America seems to be lost and fed by over power and greed, and just wondering if any of you really gave it any thought.
