Testimony showed that individuals in Mexican uniform. driving Mexican vehicles. still cross into our soil. Human smugglers and narcoterrorists operate fearlessly on our southern border. Border Patrol Chief Reynaldo Garza put it clearly. "We do not have control of our border." This phrase should alarm even the borderappeaser crowd who take the side of illegals over Americans. Former Texas Ranger Doyle Holdridge put it best when discussing what it is like on the TexasMexico border after sunset. He said. "It gets western." Yes. it is lawlessness on this border that breeds violence. gunfire. drug trafficking. human smuggling and is a ripe place for terrorists to operate. It will continue to get western on our border until border security becomes a national security issue. And thats just the way it is.
