Obama Admin: border security murders are an acceptable risk. (illegal, drugs, activist)

[softblueyz]

Gosh, I'm lost for words. 14 Border Patrol agents have died since 2008.

Excerpt:

Documents recently uncovered from Border Patrol agents highlight the Obama administration’s failure to heed multiple warnings from Border Patrol, local law enforcement, activist groups and border region ranchers that restlessly warned government officials that proposed wilderness reserves would lead to national security breaches and murder.

“We now have further evidence that the Obama administration at every level thinks the border situation is entirely acceptable and they lack full border enforcement security within designated wilderness areas that risks our border patrol agents and law enforcement deputies safety,” said outspoken Pinal county Sheriff Paul Babeu.

Emails, meetings and videotapes reveal the administration was aware of national security issues, agent safety issues, bounties placed on Border Patrol agents by drug cartels, and the trafficking of drugs and humans. The administration was told, they saw it and they acknowledged it, and yet, they moved forward. As a result of their “acceptable risk” policy, Border Patrol agents Brian Terry and Nicolas Ivie were murdered. Yesterday, Cochise County Sheriff spokesperson Carol Capas confirmed agent Ivie was murdered on federal land.

On the Ivie death, Friendly fire says the FBI????? How long would it take to do a ballistics test? Maybe the FBI shouldn't be so quick to draw a proposed conclusion until they completed the investigation, or..................................

You'd rather not have border patrol agents?

There are deaths and murders, always have been, always will as long as we continue this stupid drug war.

Do you have a clue at all?....

Do you know the penalty for entering Mexico illegally?

Do you know how many Korans and other Hamas and Hezbollah items are found near our border?

We are the only nation that is accused of racism from enforcing our borders

What completely drives me nuts is finding out that Brian Terry (and our Marine Embassy Guards in Cairo) were only armed with beanbag ammo!!!

Gee, can I give you some advice: sometimes it helps to read links before posting.

The administration will ignore it until reports of mass beheadings start happening on US soil.
But, by then, it will be too late.

The death of the border agent was most likely friendly fire just FYI

Did border patrol agents not face death before 2008?

Border patrol agents, like other law enforcement entities, die in the line of duty.

Its a very simple truth. The article talks about the drug war and border patrol agents.

End the drug war, end the violence on the boder, period.

Yes they did. Before this administration they weren't facing guns supplied by our government, though.
