Obama: Keep US Agents Disarmed in Mexico

amramhakohen ; The majority of the Leadership within the Alphabet Soup Society in Washington is nothing more then recycled College Professors and Administrators without Leadership Abilities (IMHO) . Ruby Ridge and Waco are just the tip of the iceberg for "Inappropriate Entrapment and Bad Planning" in the decisions handed down by the Courts in awarding the Law Suits to the victims. The major problem is real simple , "MONEY". The Congress only allots so much money to the Federal Law Enforcement Branches that must be divvied up amounts the Alphabet Soup contenders. They are constantly in a fight with each other for "HEADLINES AND ARRESTS" in hopes of acquiring more funding. The "STOVE PIPE INFORMATION" or keep it away from other rival Agencies in order to get the Publicity for more money , as was the case of in Ruby Ridge to almost bribe the manufacture of a sawed off illegal gun. Then when it went south the F.B.I. was called in to clean up the mess. Same at Waco when the "Secret Raid was compromised" by the Mail Man resulting in A.T.F. Agents deaths and again having the F.B.I. called in clean up . Now we have a Leadership in place that is "DELIBERATELY BREAKING THE ESTABLISHED FEDERAL LAW BY NOT COVERING THE BORDER AS MANDATED BY THE 1952 LAW SIGNED BY PRESIDENT EISENHOWER , THEN WE HAVE THE SELECTIVE IGNORING AND BREAKING OF FEDERAL LAW AGAIN IN THE CASE OF (DON'T ASK , DON'T TELL) THAT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BY PRESIDENT CLINTON IN 1996 , AND FINLAY WE HAVE THE DEFENSIVE MARRIAGE ACT SIGNED IN LAW BY PRESIDENT BUSH AND NOW DISCARDED BY THE PRESIDENT AND THE D.O.J... When I was in School my Civics class taught us that "The Congress enacted the Laws" and they became the Law of the Land when the President signed them into effect.
I don't understand how the rank and file of Law Enforcement can do their Jobs of enforcing the Laws they were "SWORN TO UPHOLD" when the roll models from the President and the U.S.Atourney General "FLAUNT THE VERY LAWS THEY WERE SWORN TO UPHOLD" ?
Rant over and "GOD BLESS EVERY AGENT AND OFFICER ON THE BORDERS WHO MUST LIVE WITH THIS CONTRADICTORY PROGRAM PUT FORTH BY THE ADMINISTRATION"...

I fortunaely had the pleasure of meeting ICE Agent Zapata a few months ago at our local county jail
he was very dedicated to his job and will be greatly missed R.I.P Brother

I agree.. if they won't arm our ICE Agents, then we should not be there..

I have to be careful what I say in a negative manner against our FEARLESS leader. The last time I made a negative comment the monitors told me they were going to remove me from the site. I completely disagree, our people are just targets that cannot defend themselves......

The fact is, I don't believe the Mexican Govt. would ever allow our agents to walk around armed in Mexico.
Mexican citizens would't like it, and some political group would probably claim we were going to take over their
country. Maybe we should just pull American officials out of there, and let the Mexican people and their govt.
sort out their own mess over there, that's probably the best thing we can do.

Another example of how much an idiot Barry is!

This insanity needs to stop. Our officer and agents in Mexico are prime targets and the cartels are going after them. Military troops can go to foreign countries armed and conduct armed operations. But, our law enforcement cannot???? Allow our officers and agents to be armed to defend themselves. Or bring them all home. Simple as that. And Mr Obama, there is a huge difference between exercising law enforcement authority and simply defending oneself.

Another great reason to get our guys out of the Southern War Zone (and put the Marines on the Border).... If we go there armed, wouldn't Mexican agents seek reciprocity- coming into the US armed as well? That sounds like a recipe for complete disaster.
