A shift by immigrant smugglers to target the tough-to-defend U.S.-Mexico border in southernmost Texas has accelerated this year as the Border Patrol scrambles to shift its resources from states farther west, according to an internal agency report obtained by The Associated Press.
From Oct. 1 through May 17, agents in the southernmost tip of Texas made more than 148,000 arrests, on pace to match last year’s total in less than eight months, according to the intelligence report. That compares with nearly 63,000 arrests in the Tucson, Arizona, sector, which it surpassed for the first time just last year. The Rio Grande Valley sector averaged nearly 1,100 arrests per day from May 11-17, according to the document. Continue reading “Shift of Illegal Crossings Into Texas Accelerates”

This post I dedicate to DiggerDan, and all fallen warriors for this Memorial weekend. As far as I know, classical style music was not DiggerDan’s genre of choice, but I do think he would let it go in the way of how I, and perhaps some others, would choose to pay tribute him and make peace with his loss. He was a warrior of another class, uncompromising in what is right in this life. He lived his life, and gave his insights and truths, from his heart. I can’t think of a better example as we face these extraordinary and challenging times.

I was thinking about what Henryyou and J.D. were talking about today. How people will freak out when they can’t get their big pharma meds. I was listening to Mark discuss this as well on the intelligence report. I can attest to this, as my sister was on medication for depression. I’m not actually sure what she was taking, but I do know it was making her crazy.
