While investigators don't have a motive yet, retaliation has been raised as a possibility, Dever said. The day before the shooting, the victim's brother, Phil Krentz, reported drug smuggling activity on the ranch to the Border Patrol.
Agents found 290 pounds of marijuana on the ranch and followed tracks to where they found and arrested eight illegal immigrants, said Border Patrol Tucson Sector deputy chief Robert Boatright. None were prosecuted because of a lack of evidence. They were all in custody when the shooting occurred, he said.
Maybe someday a government that is elected will do something about this, although I doubt one will anytime soon.

So, what is your solution to stop the cross country drug running?

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
― Abraham Lincoln
About 20 old F-14's armed to the teeth with old military ordnance and use them to patrol the borders,
the drug lords across the border have a endless supply of fire power and the only way to put a dent
in drug trafficing across the border is to out gun them and a old F-14 would do just that.
Godfather.
That border and the people crossing it are more of a threat to this country than Iraq.

Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

I agree... I'm not crazy about closing off the boarders for undocumented workers, but I'm all for cracking down on the drugs going across our boarder.
Legalize pot, and focus our efforts stopping the smuggling of the hardcore drugs.

It's such a shame that they bring drugs into America and then have to stand around wondering why nobody will buy them.
The war on drugs has to be fought on two fronts - you've got to take care of supply and demand at the same time, or else you'll never come close to fixing the problem.
that's true, we have to start somewhere and cutting off the supply will cut down the demand.
it's sad that there will always be drug problems of some sort.

obviously the US government has no intention or desire to do this since we are protecting 1 of the biggest, if not the biggest, heroin trafficker in the world with our tax money in afghanistan

and not even obama can stop it. :roll:

I don't think you can cut off the drug supply of any illegal drug completly. And everytime you make it smaller by those making record setting drug busts, all you do is increase the price that the dealers can sell what they still have for. I mean everytime I see one of those police press conferences where they have a bunch of bricks of coke laid out on a table, all I can think of is how the price of cocaine just went up and the dealers and suppliers are going to make more money.
have you seen the documentary the american drug war by kevin booth?
http://americandrugwar.com/
i see he has a new movie coming out, too
anyway, the american drug war is really good and takes a look at how drugs are treated in the us, canada and the netherlands. it says the netherlands actually has a lower % of teens and young adults that smoke pot than the us and lower hard drug use.
it's ridiculous to think we spend tens of billions a year on the war on drugs on top of what the states pay

yeah he is going to offer them amnesty. F-THAT.
ha ha yeah he'll just print up more money to cover them

so halliburton had a lot of the work done for free and pays 0 US taxes on that money, what a scam!

Or, you can do what FDR did and repeal Prohibition. It did two very important things -
1. Put liquor back into the normal economy, enabling governments to raise revenue by imposingt taxes and
2. Broke the back of the Chicago gangs that made their money off illicit booze.
I guarantee you if marijuana is decriminalized, it will do similar things for us. Marijuana is 70% of the revenue for these Mexican drug gangs - remove that revenue, and they'll collapse, like the Prohibition era gangs.
PLUS, it will alleviate the huge overcrowding in our prisons AND free up our law enforcement to go after REAL criminals, not the guys who spend all day harmlessly tripping out over pot. And without the drug gangs using undocumented workers to ferry their stuff over the border, illegal immigration will drop.
Besides, decriminalization of marijuana in gonna be on the ballot in California this fall... don't forget to vote.
No one actually witnessed the murder.
I live near D.C. and how the misinformation spread with the sniper.
sometimes i think with the amount of money we've spent fighting it and how many lives we've fucked with we just refuse to say we were wrong or sorry. like when the navy shot down that iranian airliner and vp bush said he refused to apologize.
and think of how many people would have to be released from jail. what about all their stuff that was confiscated and sold? can they sue over being imprisoned for years?
it's the same as it was when alcohol was illegal, it puts the market in the hands of criminals.
as is pointed out in that doc i mentioned earlier, instead of being able to go to a business that has laws over it, like selling tobacco or alcohol to minors in the US, you're creating this vacuum that is filled with a lot of people that don't care how young the person is, what's in it.....
we need better education, this lumping it in with heroin, crack, meth....is ludicrous and if anything is harmful because when a kid tries pot and thinks it's nothing like they told him what's stopping him/her from thinking they lied about other drugs?

The victim told his brother over the radio it was an "illegal alien". I doubt he confused him with E.T.
bbbzzzttt.
Wrong. Legalizing marijuana will only cause the criminal elements in Mexico to shift to more, violent, crimes such as kidnappings.

These drug gangs are purely criminal enterprises. Remove pot, and they'll just move on to something else.

The U.S. border with Mexico is roughly 1969 miles.
The U.S. border with Canada is roughly 5528 miles.
There are roughly 88,00 army, navy, coast guard, air force and marines stationed in Iraq.
That would equal roughly 11 soldiers per mile of U.S. border.

that's one part of the solution. Go after the businesses that hire illegal immigrants. Hard.
