| Dear Members ******************************************** 2. ******************************************* 3. Click link for full article Lawmaker Seeks to Label Cartels "Terrorists" A Texas congressman is seeking to designate seven of the top Mexican cartels as "foreign terrorist organizations," a move he says would give law enforcement in the U.S. enhanced tools to combat the cartels. Critics of the proposal, by U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, fear such a designation could harm Mexico's ability to wage its own fight against the cartels — and damage the U.S.'s relationship with its southern neighbor. McCaul's legislation, HR 1270, targets the Arellano Félix Organization, Los Zetas, La Familia Michoacana, and the Beltran Leyva, Sinaloa, Juárez and Gulf cartels. ********************************************* 4. This Napolitano Can't Account for 10 Libyans She Caught and Released Inside U.S. Even as President Barack Obama continued the U.S. military intervention in Libya's civil war--with armed Predator drones beginning patrols over that North African country on Thursday--U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the division of the Department of Homeland Security responsible for enforcing immigration laws, could not account for 10 Libyan men it had caught and released inside the United States since July 2009. ******************************************** 5. Can the U.S. Government sue Mexico for drug trafficking? CBS News has learned that the Mexican Government has retained an American law firm to explore filing civil charges against U.S. gun manufacturers and distributors over the flood of guns crossing the border into Mexico. Does this count the guns the Obama administration is allowing to cross the border? Cough: Project Gunwalker scandal. Sources say Mexico's frustration with U.S. efforts to stop the flow of weapons has pushed them into this novel approach. The law firm is looking at charges that may include civil RICO. The contract was signed on November 2, 2010 by a representative of Mexico's Attorney General, at their Washington embassy. Can American taxpayers sue Mexico for the flow of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border? It's frustrating and expensive to support these criminals. On November 5, 2010 President Felipe Calderon expressed his frustration to CBS News correspondent Peter Greenberg: "We seized more than 90,000 weapons...I am talking like 50,000 assault weapons, AR-15 machine guns, more than 8,000 grenades and almost 10 million bullets. Amazing figures and according to all those cases, the ones we are able to track, most of these are American weapons." U.S. Border Patrol seizes a lot more of those Mexican citizens than Mexico seizes in U.S. guns. Give us the guns back and we will gladly return your criminal citizens. According to sources, investigators will obtain makes and serial numbers of guns seized by Mexican authorities and trace them to their U.S. distributors and manufacturers. Christopher Renzulli of New York, who has represented U.S. gun makers for fifteen years, says he believes this would be a difficult case for the Mexican government to win. "The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act would bar that kind of lawsuit from the start. The law, passed in 2005 has resulted in several lawsuits ******************************************** 6. PLEASE REVIEW and SEE LINK Quite telling, disturbing and very troubling Ruthie On April 15, 2011, The National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers (NAFBPO) testified before a joint Congressional committee hearing of The Natural Resources Committee and The Government Oversight Committee in Washington, D.C. http://naturalresources.house.gov/UploadedFiles/TaylorTestimony04.15.11.pdf Above is one of the written submissions from the Congressional Record. Attached is a transcript of the oral testimony to the same committee. Yesterday, April 22, 2011, The Chief of the Border Patrol from Washington DC Michael Fischer and The Chief of the Tucson Sector of the Border Patrol Randy Hill were in Cochise County attempting to quell any further release of information concerning Customs and Border Protection intentionally reporting false statistics about aliens that have gotten away and agents being ordered to not work certain high traffic areas of the U.S. Mexico border. The information is true, that is why they are seeking to quell further discussion about it. Additionally, this coming week Commissioner Bersin from Customs and Border Protection is coming to visit Cochise County. Purpose of the visit may be to further deny that his organization is intentionally reporting false information to Congress and advising agents to not work certain high traffic areas along the U.S. Mexico border, specifically some areas in Cochise County Arizona. Both issues allow illegal aliens to enter the United States unnoticed and further compromise National Security and Public Safety. Specifically, agents are told to stay out of the Whetstone and Chiricahua corridors. Moreover, The Huachuca Mountains are home to the U.S. Army Top Secret Intelligence School. Agents are being told to not pursue illegal aliens passing through the Huachuca Mountains. As for reporting false information about alien got-a-ways. Agents are told in essence not to report any got-a-ways. Aliens are either apprehended or turned back south (TBS). For instance...an infrared camera operator observes a group of 30 aliens walking around the Border Patrol Checkpoint on Highway 90 north of Huachuca City. He calls in mobile agents that apprehend 7 of the 30 aliens. According to outstanding instructions he is supposed to report 7 apprehensions and 23 TBS or turned back south. The truth is, those were 23 got-a-ways that continued their journey into the United States. This is called cooking the books because those 23 did not return to Mexico and the reporting officer knows it. The further truth is that Customs and Border Protection should know that at many stations in the Tucson Sector, on an average good day they apprehend no more than ten percent of what is coming through and on a bad day less than five percent of what is coming through. Certainly not what is presently claimed. Ask Mr. Bersin the hard questions. Americans are tired of being lied to. Zack Taylor, NAFBPO.org ******************************************* 7.
