Kidnapping Rising Near Border
In case anyone is still collecting reasons we ought to secure our southern border, even if this is a lost cause in light of the midterm results, Americans now stand the same chance of being kidnapped by Mexican criminals in the Rio Grande Valley — in our own country — as we do in Mexico.
There have been 78 kidnappings in Hidalgo County alone since early 2004. This tops even Nuevo Laredo, were 60 Americans have been abducted since April 2004.
Although many kidnappings are tied to the drug trade, some people — like businessman Uriel Del Alba, who was recently ransomed for $150,000 — are snatched just because they have money.
Besides kidnapping, decapitation is another fad that is all the rage among the Mexican gangs that exploit our open border.
Says Norm Townsend, an FBI agent in Laredo:
All in all, the situation has been bad, and it's not getting any better.
But of course, it would be racist to do something about it by defending our border.

WakeUpFools and Vote4Pat are still sleeping off last night's bongwater bender. If they can't get out of their parent's basement and on to their computers before mom gets home and gives them a ride to their job on the night shift at Kinko's, we won't be able to hear from them because their neo-con fascist supervisor blocked the site from work.

Sad thing is, they probably, at some level, realize the problem and know the view they propound is useless, but it's so ingrained in them to hate the non-liberal viewpoint and go against anything a conservative says, they holler "racist" as a knee-jerk reaction, and then have to defend it, usually by changing the subject, making false accusations, or twisting the facts.
Wow, that was a long sentence. I'd like to by a period please, or at least a semi-colon.

Isn't kidnapping a constitutional right? If it's not, expect the ACLU and SCOTUS to insert it somewhere, as long as it's benefiting those poor, downtrodden "undocumented" workers.

Hey, they're only doing the kidnappings and decapitations that Americans won't do.
