Duck and Cover Coming?

I can't describe how depressing it is to see the security of the United States being put at risk because of the questionable agenda and incompetence of our current political leadership.

This latest scheme of allowing Mexican trucks to travel the roads of America is an invitation to disaster, especially since Border Patrol agents have been instructed to give the trucks only cursory glances to help reduce "wait times" at the border checkpoints.

In other words, the agents have been told not to look very hard for problems. To illustrate, if wait times are long, Border Patrol agents can only verify the license plate and query the driver, not the passengers. Doing otherwise, agents risk reprimand.

When a captain insists on putting more and more holes in a boat while under attack by an unscrupulous enemy, he shouldn't be surprised when it sinks. Unfortunately, our captain doesn't see things that way. The border is being made more porous before we've patched the existing huge holes.


Fearing reprimand, border agent quickly checks Mexican convoy (typical)

Something catastrophic is coming, I fear.
