Just What the Border Needed
As if we didn't have enough border problems. Now it looks as if the good ole problem of trying to help a country only to have them stab you in the back is occuring with our southern neighbor. What else is new?

WASHINGTON – Elite Mexican commandos, trained by U.S. forces to combat the drug cartels have switched sides and are working for the drug smugglers in the border area posing a special hazard to American law enforcement and Border Patrol agents, according to a U.S. Justice Department memo.It's time to pull our troops out of western Europe and South Korea and place them on our southern border.
The commandos, trained by the U.S. Army at Fort Benning, Georgia, are known as "Los Zetas."
The Justice Department warning was sent to law enforcement agencies throughout the Southwest.
Using the commando training, Los Zetas are known to be extremely violent and have been blamed for an outbreak of violence along the Mexican border.
There are reports of the commandos making cross-border runs into U.S. territory in military-style vehicles, armed with automatic weapons.
This is our most serious Homeland Security threat and yet it seems as if it's just being ignored! What's the point of this "Homeland Security" if you refuse to secure the borders?!?
