U.S. gives Mexico no-strings $400 million for drug war
June 28th, 2008 . by TexasFredHUETAMO, Mexico - Victor de la Paz was riding back from school on a January evening with a friend, just three blocks from home, when uniformed men emerged from the darkness and motioned for them to stop.
Moments later, a soldier opened fire with an assault rifle. De la Paz, 16, slumped to the ground in his bloodied school uniform, already fatally wounded as the soldiers wrestled his body from the car.
The army said the boys ignored commands to pull over, but Victor’s father said shots were fired without enough warning.
Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission has documented 634 such cases of alleged abuse by the military since President Felipe Calderon sent more than 20,000 soldiers across the nation to take back territory controlled by drug traffickers.

U.S. gives Mexico no-strings $400 million for drug war
Ol’ George Bush sure does love him some Mexicans.
If he doesn’t love the Mexicans then WHY is he giving $400 million dollars to Mexico, no questions asked and no strings attached? Why are WE sending our hard earned tax dollars to one of the most corrupt nations on earth, so that they can supposedly fight the drug cartels?
That money would be much better spent on OUR side of the border, we could use it to, oh, I don’t know, maybe build some fences, maybe install some sort of electronic surveillance systems, hell, we could even use it to supply the National Guard with the logistics necessary to actually defend our border.
I have long advocated the closing of our border with Mexico, I have long advocated placing armed troops all along our border with Mexico to insure that security demands are met with adequate response, that which is necessary to repel the ILLEGAL INVASION we are suffering in this nation.
I have been lambasted by supposed right wing conservatives for my advocacy of a STRONG border defense, they say I am too cold, too hard hearted and too barbaric in my methods of defending the border, methods that involve having our troops armed, with orders to SHOOT TO KILL anything crossing our borders at anything other than a LEGAL border crossing.
In my mind there is NO other way for us to stop this ILLEGAL INVASION.
We can ask nicely, but that won’t work, we can give the corrupt Mexican government untold millions of our tax dollars to fight their battles, but all that money is going to do is find it’s way into the pockets of corrupt Mexican officials.
I have been called a NAZI for the opinions I have regarding the methods I feel we need to use in order to secure our borders, I really don’t care, if standing up for the defense of this nation means I wear the label NAZI, then by God I will wear that label.
I have been called a racist for my stance against the ILLEGAL INVASION of this nation, an invasion by untold millions of Hispanics, and other nationalities as well, I honestly don’t care what you call me, if I am a racist in your eyes for wanting to defend this nation, against ALL enemies, then by God I AM a racist.
If you don’t have the fortitude to stand and defend this nation, by any means necessary, then I have a few names for you to wear too, wimp, wuss, coward, faux conservative, just to name a few of the nicer ones that I am willing to use on my blog.
Let Mexico fight it’s own battles, in it’s own way, we have all the battles we need right now, and our biggest one starts at the U.S./Mexican border.
YES, I am an America 1st Conservative, I make NO apologies to anyone for that, and to those of you that aren’t, GO STRAIGHT TO HELL, and do it soon.

Take North Korea off the Terrorist List, send Mexico $400,000,000.00, have some Muslims (the ones that paid to have WTC knocked down) over for dinner.
I don’t care who gets elected in November, no one will be as bad for America as GWB, no one.
Yep, like I have said..we have been invaded at the encouragement and aid of the Mexican government..time we took Mexico City….again.
since your average Mexican politician and your average Mexican bureaucrat make considerably more money that US politicians and bureaucrats i think they should be paying us for the costs incurred by our border drug war. shit, we have the Mexican army making incursions into our country at the behest of drug lords…. I have no problem calling this what it is, a hostile invasion. we need to deal with it accordingly.
Totally agree with your assessment. The border could be secured NOW with little effort if it was so willed by the CIC.
Neither of the current candidates will secure it. We are going to see more of the same in regards to Illegal Immigration for some time to come, well until a REAL conservative hits the Whitehouse steps.
400 million to a country that’s drilling oil off our Florida coastline? Is he nuts?
Visit your local discount auto parts store…Advance, Auto Zone, etc. Ask the manager if you can look though their Hard Parts: alternators, starters, batteries water pumps, brakes, ignition, internal engine, fans, radiators. On about 95% of the boxes you will see the words, Made in Mexico or Made in China. We send them our jobs and tax dollars.
BTW, even though the parts are made in Mexico or China, the prices have never lowered from when they were made in the USA..they’ve actually gone up.
I wonder how much of that money was spent for the to buy the trees they are planting on their side of the border for that “green fence”? I say we plant of few things on this side…..a land mine here, a land mine there…….
After 09/11 one of the first things we heard coming out of the swampland was that we were going to secure our borders so that terrorists couldn’t cross over.
I’m still waiting.
Oh yes, that’s right; now I have to have a passport to get back into my own country if I cross the borders.Â
Guess that will really keep the terrorists and illegals out.
Then we have this:Â
A top federal immigration attorney and his wife were arrested Thursday on suspicion of accepting bribes from immigrants seeking to remain in the United States, according to the FBI.

Back when Panco Villa was making raids into the US, the president sent the Army down there to put a stop to the incursions. My grand father was a student at Texas A&M at the time and was in the Corps of Cadets. He and his fellow students were issued a new uniform, given a rifle and ammunition and loaded into large trucks and driven down to the Mexico border to help defend this nation. If the US could defend its southern border eighty or so years ago with the help of a bunch of college kids, I think they could easily do so with the weapons available today, Any volunteers?

Dudley, if I was 25 years younger, I’d be there in a heartbeat!
You know, this just bugs the carp out of me. Every year we have thousands of Americans murdered in our cities and many cities have had to cut back on police services due to financial reasons and here Bush goes and gives 400 million to Mexico. Does he have any idea of what 400 million would do to bolster law enforcement here in the states?
Actually Bob, the dumb SOB doesn’t have a clue, about this or much of anything else if the last 7 years are any indicator…
