Border War -- Will Obama Surrender?
Concerns Raised Over Vulnerability
American Patrol Report -- November 6
Dobbs: New warnings tonight about increasing security threats along our border with Mexico. Border security advocates concerned that recent progress along the border could be jeopardized by President-Elect Obama's policies on border security and his support for amnesty for illegal aliens. Casey Wian has our report.
Wian: The nation's borders are now in a quote "period of heightened alert," according to the Department of Homeland Security. There are concerns that the presidential transition could cause officials to ignore the growing threat of violence from drug and illegal alien smugglers and even terrorists.
Chertoff: Any time there's a transition, there's a danger or a risk that vulnerability will increase, because people become distracted.
Wian: Lou Dobbs Tonight reported last week that Mexican drug cartels operating in Texas are under orders to engage U.S. law enforcement personnel. Now we've obtained a border patrol officer's safety bulletin describing a recent incident near Abram, Texas, where agents spotted a vehicle loaded with marijuana. A group of suspects confronted the agents. One opened fire with an automatic weapon, missing the agents, before the smugglers escaped to Mexico.
Although the Bush administration has made progress toward border security, huge gaps remain, as this video shows. It's a new Web site operated by border security advocates, using hidden cameras to show illegal crossings. Unlike his former opponent, President-Elect Barack Obama has not committed to securing the nation's borders before legalizing illegal aliens.
