American Border Patrol Agent Survives Iraq War, Is Killed On American Soil By Mexican Invaders

It's beyond ironic to me that a young American soldier can fight through the deadly battles of the Iraq War, come home, begin work as a Border Patrol agent and subsequently lose his life, while he stands on American soil, to invading drug cartel terrorists from Mexico. But it's there for all of us to see. Border agent Brian Terry is dead because we have a Congress and a U.S. President who refuse to adequately protect the American people.

From the account of the story at Family Security Matters:

A decorated agent of the U.S. Border Patrol on Tuesday night was shot and killed on the U.S. side of the Arizona-Mexico border while attempting to apprehend suspects who regularly victimize illegal immigrants, according to the leader of National Border Patrol Council Local 2544, the union that represents agents.

Border agent Brian A. Terry, 40, was on a stakeout with three other agents in a remote area north of Nogales when a gun battle erupted with the armed suspects, reported National Border Patrol Council President T.J. Bonner. No other agents were injured, but one of the suspects was wounded in the shootout.

The Federal Bureau of Investigating is assisting in the investigation of the shooting. Investigators said that they have four suspects in custody and are searching for a fifth.

A Border Patrol agent for about three years, Terry also served in the military and had been deployed to Iraq. He died early Wednesday.

"It's amazing that Agent Terry survived a full-blown war, but was killed in his own country by foreign bandits," said former New York Detective Mike Snopes, who also served in military intelligence.

Let's cut through the bullshit here - we have drug cartel terrorists who simply are no different than al Qaeda. The likes of al Qaeda murder because Mo and allah tell them to while drug cartel terrorists murder because of money and power. What would the headlines of this story been if a national guard troop had been killed in Arizona by an al Qaeda assassin? But this story never even saw the light of day on the MSM.

Not only is our Federal government covered in the blood of Brian Terry, the MSM is complicit in covering up that government's negligence.

Let me play President for a moment. I would call a meeting with the President of Mexico. I would bring a photo of the dead body of Brian Terry and I would tell the Mexican leader that from this point forward, the U.S. will employ all military equipment and forces to kill every Mexican cartel member that sets one foot or one tire inside of the sovereign nation of America. And to that point, there more than likely will be citizens of Mexico killed in the process that are confused as invading drug cartel members. And finally, America demands the authority to send covert operations personnel INTO Mexico to subvert the activities of the cartels along the U.S. border.

Simple as that.

The message to Barack Hussein Obama and the Congress has to be be hammered home - NOT ONE MORE DROP OF AMERICAN BLOOD WILL BE TOLERATED. Has our President asked the Mexican President to station Mexican troops at the border to halt drug cartels from entering America? Has our President decided to assist the border patrol with national guard troops equipped to fight? Hell no. This is not a U.S. President - this is a spineless bumbling fool who is willing to shed American blood in hopes of securing a voting block for 2012.

Border Patrol Agent Murdered in Arizona

"It's amazing that Agent Terry survived a full-blown war, but was killed in his own country by foreign bandits," said former New York Detective Mike Snopes, who also served in military intelligence.

Bandits have long roamed border areas, robbing and sexually assaulting illegal immigrants as they cross into the country, according to police sources in Arizona.

"This is a sign that the politicians and bureaucrats are overly optimistic in their assessment that the borders are more secure now than at any point in our history. It showed just the opposite," Bonner said.

"Ironically, the biggest operation by the Obama Administration in Arizona is a lawsuit against the state's new law that was passed in order to fight the crime and violence perpetrated by illegal aliens," said Snopes.

"While distorting the results of his administration's actions regarding border security, President Obama appears more aggressive towards law enforcement officials like Sheriff Joe Arpaio [of Maricopa County, AZ]," he added.

Unfortunately, the Department of Homeland Security’s latest failure to protect the United State is a costly program to place crucial electronic surveillance systems along the U.S.-Mexico border that is years behind schedule. The security project is grossly over budget because Secretary Janet Napolitano's agency hasn’t adequately managed the contractor doing the work, according to a Washington, DC watchdog group.

As a result, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars will be wasted and the porous southern border will continue to be vulnerable despite the Obama Administration’s assurances that it’s as secure as it’s ever been. So far the troubled project, known as Secure Border Initiative Network, has cost the government $672 million although it’s nowhere near completion, according to Judicial Watch, a public-interest group that investigates political corruption.

After years of debates, congressional votes, government studies and political posturing by lawmakers, the so-called "virtual fence" continues to cause more problems than it solves, according to testimony at a session of the House Homeland Security Committee.

In a compromise that met with disappointment by those who advocate tighter border security, instead of walls or chain link fencing, the U.S. Border Patrol and Homeland Security Department created the concept of virtual fence security that includes surveillance cameras, motion or heat sensing detectors, radar, and supposed state-of-the-art control towers designed to detect and prevent illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the United States.

According to a report obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police, the security contractor -- Boeing Co. -- is installing the hi-tech physical security system. The original plan called for a completion date by December 2009 at a cost of $1.1 billion for a virtual fence. According to the report obtained by NACOP, Boeing requested that completion date to be amended by seven years.

Physical security experts told this writer it should surprise no one that a relatively simple project would become complicated and unmanageable given that fact that most of the decision-makers probably have no law enforcement, security or engineering background.

The Obama initiative aims to enhance border security by designing technological tools that enable Border Patrol agents to detect and respond to incursions along unmanned stretches of the 2,000-mile Mexican border. This includes installing unattended ground sensors, radars and cameras. The so-called virtual fence was supposed to be completed by 2011, but Homeland Security officials recently pushed the date up to 2014, well after Obama's 2012 reelection campaign.

That’s because the agency has failed to properly oversee the project’s prime contractor, resulting in costly rework, numerous delays and lots of extra money. In fact Homeland Security officials stood by as the contractor provided information that was “replete with unexplained anomalies, thus rendering the data unfit for effective contractor management and oversight,” congressional investigators found.
