White House Issues Anti-Drug Plan for Mexican Border
- Text size
AllGov
June 8, 2009
Continuing a strategy focused on the supply side of the drug problem, the Obama administration on Friday unveiled its counternarcotics policy for the Southwest, calling for greater investment in technology to intercept drug shipments over the U.S.-Mexico border. The report from the Office of National Drug Control Policy called upon federal agencies to modernize airborne sensors and improve tracking devices that can be hidden in illegal shipments. It also called for improved non-lethal technology to stop vehicles and to detect tunnels used to smuggle drugs under the border.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The plan was met by criticism from representatives on Capitol Hill and advocates calling for changes in drug policy. Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-MS), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he was “disappointed that it does not call on Departments of Homeland Security and Justice to resolve their long-standing turf battles over drug investigations.”
Julie Roberts, acting director of the Drug Policy Alliance, an advocacy group promoting alternatives to the “war on drugs,” said, “It is disappointing that our federal officials today remained focused on targeting the supply side of the Mexican drug war. We also need to develop a public health plan for safely reducing drug demand in this country.”

If we legalized drugs and taxed them we would see state coffers overflow and crime diminish. The States should have the right to make such decisions.

If drugs were legalized and taxed.. there would only be a few less criminals in jails.. which would mean less state revenue. Nobody would imagine buying drugs from Mexico IF drugs were legal. It’s absurd to think that crime would deminish.. EVER! People will always find new ways to make and break laws. IF drugs were legal.. we’d make our own drugs (mexican/central American/south american cartels would become obsolete). It is not hard to grow weeds (flowers and plants also) people. Successful people have huge hydro operations all over America.. they just charge more money and have a better product (the cops aren’t as interested in that). It’s about proving SALES/DISTRIBUTION of illegal narcotics. Any shmo can say he’s growing his stuff for personal use.. and if they don’t get the sting buying it from the undercover pig.. there’s no case. If you are selling weed for $100. for a quarter.. you got enough money to buy a mo better lawyer to keep you safe and happy and much wiser next time. Lawmakers have taken alcohol to the limit on how they can bust us and keep us in the system for life (DUI). They haven’t had time to figure out how to control drugs. We really can’t make great alcohol at home.. we’re forced to buy it out. Drugs don’t work that way. Drugs are much better made at home.

I’ll tell you what they do here in Austin, TX. It’s called BURGLARY OF VEHICLE, OR BOV in police terms.
It’s absolutely rampant. I catch them constantly, causing hundreds of dollars in damage just to get a $20 stereo.
It causes much hardship for the residents of our communities, but you’ll never hear crimes like these in the news or from liberal, left wing, open borders advocating traitors.
The vehicle burglaries have skyrocketed here in Austin. Someone is going to get hurt, from what seems like such a petty crime to many of you out there. The Castle Doctrine extends protection to our vehicles, and pretty soon, I’m sure we’ll finally be hearing about this plague, in the form of a news story, covering someone being shot by a homeowner, simply protecting his/her property.
These invaders have absolutely NO respect for Americans of ALL races, NO respect for our communities, and NO respect for our property. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!
BUILD THAT WALL AND DEPORT THEM ALL!

High numbers of hispanic residents in a city means the percentage of all crimes in those areas will be attributed to them. I can probably be comfortable in saying that those percentages are equally attributable to white people in any predominately white community in the country. Say Idaho, Kansas, West Virginia, Oregon…whatever. If you are looking to justify your hatred of a certain ethnic group, you will always be able to find things to support it.
If all the hispanics were shipped out tomorrow, would we go back to hating black people? Asians? Indians? Irish? Keep on hating the color of the day and one day you may just find yourself being the recipient of the same.

First of all, why are you even mentioning the subject of racism here? Then you mention “hispanic residents”, as if I’m even remotely blaming hispanics.
2nd, I’m telling you what I have witnessed FIRSTHAND, in actually following, documenting, and catching vehicle burglars. Almost every single time it’s been an ILLEGAL ALIEN, non-English speaker.
So I guess you’re basically trying to call me a racist? Dude, that tactic is well worn out and simply doesn’t fly anymore. These illegal aliens are robbing “hispanics” as well, and “hispanics” help me watch the neighborhood too you FOOL! They want the illegals out of here as well, so nice try stupid.

Miles,
I didnt take your post as being racist. Numbers, just in case you want to tag me as a racist, I am White and I have been married to a mexican girl for the last 8 years. Look man, I don’t have anything at all against people coming to the U.S. Moreoever, I understand why they want to come man. There is NOTHING wrong with requiring that they do come here by compliance with the law. That isn’t racist, thats just right!

Dude, you really are a dumbass with your accusations. I just read your last paragraph again, where you accuse me of “hating” hispanics, then imply that if they weren’t here, I and others who support protecting this country, would hate blacks or other groups.
Seriously, what’s wrong with you? It’s ever so clear that public school did you NO FAVORS!
Lastly, you fool, it’s obvious you’ve never read other posts, where I clearly talk about crimes by Americans of all races.
Oh and by the way, my girlfriend for the last 2 years is BLACK, and I have Blackfoot Native American Blood in my family, so get a grip, get lost, and deport yourself! NOW!

BULLSHIT Numbers! I have lived in several areas in the Bay area of California that are known nationwide for being very culturally diverse. I grew up in schools with whites, blacks, asians, mexicans, pacific islanders, indians (the red dot kind), etc. The only two ethnic groups that had no representation were jews and native americans. That being said, its not hard to figure out who is doing the crime when almost EVERY SINGLE news report of the suspect is for a Mr. Gomez, Rodriguez, Sanchez, Ramirez, Villalobos, etc. I have witnessed crimes by every different race, but we are talking about an inherent PROBLEM within a culture that has a propensity towards crime. Hispanic communities are generally the poorest, and thus the most likely to turn towards acts of desperation and crime. Add on top of that almost zero accountability to the government or neighborhoods for their lack of education, desire to legally integrate, or overburden they put on our state medical, educational, and assistance programs! The main problem is they bring the third world conditions of their country WITH THEM to here in America. I have watched neighborhoods property value as well as aesthetic value (that means how good it looks for all you ESL students out there) plumet in less than 5 years when hispanics start moving in. Hispanics are the only culture who will have 4 to 6 families all living in squalorous conditions in one house… Test me on this, there are several of those kind of households on my block.
Pointing out who is doing the dirt, does NOT make you a racist. I am so sick of you special interest pansies hiding behind your politically correct horse shit everytime someone quotes an ethnic statistic. Look at the % rates above, and factor in the missing percentage for the remaining races and tell me what the ratio is.
My problem is not with the hispanics, or even the ones that cause the crime. My problem is with the privatized prison system, and the corrupt state and federal government that profit by allowing the illegals to enter, stay, and incriminate themselves, while the rest of us citizens suffer as the victims. Then we foot the bill while they rot away in our prison systems, only to organize their gangs and then run the outside from the prison headquarters, coordinating and recruiting more soldiers from across the border.
Now go ahead and call me a racist… Prove to me that you are just another brainwashed, emotionally twisted sheep.
Have a nice day : )

If they really wanted to stop the drug problem they would STOP the CIA from bringing it in. My dad has seen CIA agents while he was unloading huge shipments of cocaine. They have the monopoly on the stuff. And they don’t tolerate competition.

Obama only wants drugs from the officially accepted, “Partner Cartels” to be allowed in. He doesn’t want any price slashing competition from the non-accepted sources. It’s been said for years, in scores of locations, that a valid CIA contract is worth more than gold!

They called it a war on drugs in 80’s under Reagan whose name is invoked every ten minutes on fox news as some sort of savior of the world. Truth is Nixon started the drug war insane but still somewhat never got to finish what he started because….Oh yeah he go impeached for spying on Americans. Reagan and his V.P. really started the kicking in peoples doors, pull you over for a tail light, claim they smell dope, arrest you under suspicion with no proof but handcuff you and tear your car apart. War on drugs, “yeah I can just see that coca plant locked up right now behind bars sorry its an evil drug with its roots in hell. Common sense people PLEASE!

uninformed,
Under the provisions of the National Security Act of 1947 (which became effective on 18 September 1947) the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency were established. Most of the National Security Act’s specific assignments given the CIA~ as well as the prohibitions on police and internal security functions, closely follow both the original 1944 Donovan plan and the Presidential directive creating the Central Intelligence Group. The 1947 Act charged the CIA with coordinating the nation’s intelligence activities and correlating, evaluating and disseminating intelligence which affects national security. In addition, the Agency was to perform such other duties and functions related to intelligence as the NSC might direct. The Act also made the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) responsible for protecting intelligence sources and methods.
In 1949, the Central Intelligence Agency Act was passed supplementing the 1947 Act by permitting the Agency to use confidential fiscal and administrative procedures and exempting CIA from many of the usual limitations on the expenditure of federal funds. It provided that CIA funds could be included in the budgets of other departments and then transferred to the Agency without regard to the restrictions placed on the initial appropriation. This Act is the statutory authority for the secrecy of the Agency’s budget. In order to protect intelligence sources and methods from disclosure, the 1949 Act further exempted the CIA from having to disclose its “organization, functions, names? Officials, titles, salaries, or numbers of personnel employed.”

When they deport illiegal aliens, instead of dropping them off just over the border, they shot drop them all off in Mexico City with an asault rifle and two grenades and the instructions: “Fix your piece of shit country…”
