America has two national security threats: illegal drugs and Islamic extremists. Ninety percent of the...

We should know better, but when we think of corruption along the border, we tend to view Mexico as dirty and the United States as clean. All the evil, all the mendacity and perniciousness, stops at the U.S. checkpoints, driven back by diligence and integrity Right? Well, think again. Julio Cesar Pacheco, a sergeant with the Texas National Guard, has been accused of undermining the very laws he was supposed to enforce, according to the Express-News. Pacheco, on duty in Laredo to...

To: Chi-townChief; SwinneySwitch Sen. Cornyn was just attacked by his senatorial opponent, Rick Noriega, the left-wing open border nut who passed a law to require Texas to subsidize illegal aliens seeking to apply to Texas colleges Noriega says "we knew that the Petraeus Report was going to show that the surge operations had not been successful." This just shows what a tool Noriega is on national security. Noriega is flat wrong. Obviously, he didn't read the Report before he blabbered about it. "General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker said in their testimony today that they believe the surge has been successful so far." This should come as no surprise to anyone who reads the newspapers. Noriega tried to score political points with his left-wing by picking a fight with Homeland Security : Gov. Rick Perry's Office of Homeland Security is planning an intensified, nonstop border enforcement program that will tap the $110 million that state lawmakers approved in the spring for border security. The operation calls for two years of continuous patrols involving law enforcement agencies along the Texas border with Mexico, according to planning documents reviewed by the San Antonio Express-News. ... The governor and McCraw have claimed success from past operations by pointing to double-digit reductions in criminal activity and apprehensions of undocumented entrants in border counties. But those measures have been challenged as unscientific. McCraw said the office is working on the means to collect data such as crime reports, apprehension numbers and fluctuations in the street cost of drugs. A panel to be appointed in the coming weeks by the governor will oversee progress and recommend any changes in how the state tax money is being spent. "We need to be judged, quite frankly, and we will be," McCraw said. Republican state Sen. John Carona, who sits on the transportation and homeland security committee, counts himself among those who question whether past short-term enforcement programs have yielded any lasting impact. ... Since 9-11, more than 5,700 undocumented immigrants from more than 40 countries deemed national security threats have been caught trying to cross U.S. borders, many using smuggling organizations, an Express-News series published in May found. "The same thing that generates crime also generates the national security threat," McCraw said. "It's the organized smuggling activities related to human trafficking that presents the national security threat." ... One frequent challenger of the provision, Rep. Rick Noriega, D-Houston, who ultimately voted for the governor's homeland security bill and commanded a National Guard unit on the border, said he is frustrated that Texas taxpayers are being billed twice for border security programs. Noriega wants to turn over all border security to the National Guard in Laredo, but in his campaign announcement, ""Noriega opted not to play up was his experience on the border as part of his National Guard duty. " Can anyone guess why Noriega didges this issue? Could it be that the human trafficking border insecurity scandal in the Laredo Texas National Guard Noriega was boasting about?: Two Texas National Guard soldiers today admitted helping smuggle illegal immigrants through a Border Patrol checkpoint. Sergeant Julio Pacheco of Laredo and Sergeant Clarence Hodge Junior of Houston pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transport illegal immigrants. Both soldiers face up to ten years in prison."

LAREDO, Texas (AP) - Two Texas National Guard soldiers today admitted helping smuggle illegal immigrants through a Border Patrol checkpoint.
Sergeant Julio Pacheco of Laredo and Sergeant Clarence Hodge Junior of Houston pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transport illegal immigrants.
Both soldiers face up to ten years in prison.
No sentencing hearing was immediately set in Laredo.
Pacheco says he recruited Hodge and Private First Class Jose Rodrigo Torres of Laredo to help smuggle 24 immigrants past a Border Patrol checkpoint.
The soldiers were supposed to help secure the site.
Hodge says he waved through a van carrying the immigrants that was driven by Torres.
Torres pleaded guilty to the same charge August 16th.
The ring was discovered when Torres in June was arrested with illegal immigrants in the National Guard-leased van he was driving near Laredo.

Dear Rick,
On the www.hcdp.org website it defines the Democratic Platform and the basic inalienable rights. Given the internet was inconceivable at that time, but given that we do have it now, the fact that it is a very tangible means of exercising our first amendment liberties and the phasing out of hard copy documents, what is your position on internet censorship in the form of political message boards and blogs?
We believe every Texan has inalienable rights that even a majority may not take away, including .the right to vote .the right to fair and open participation and representation in the democratic process .the right to privacy.
What kind of legislation and law do you expect to arise in the next 6-10 years?
Actuary "Ezekial 25:17 - The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequites of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he that shepherds the weak from the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
