PROPOSAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION
ENFORCEMENT AND REFORM
*************************************************

La Voz de la Frontera (Mexico) 5/6/2011

Narcos almost knocked down helicopter

International traffickers nearly caused a tragedy when an ultralight crossed at night into the Imperial Valley (California) and nearly collided with a helicopter of the U.S. Armed Forces manned by pilots and soldiers from England who were receiving military training. Customs and Border Protection authorities have been warning how dangerous and how persistent incursions are when used to cross drugs from Mexico.

This is a newer means to smuggle narcotics into the U.S., and the small planes rarely land. They cross the border at a remote location, carrying between 200 and 300 kilos of marijuana in packages that show a predetermined site where an accomplice is waiting with his vehicle lights flashing. The pilot activates a drop of the drugs and after returns back to Mexican soil.

The Border Patrol has provided hundreds of thousands of barriers along the borders, checkpoints, operated by thousands of agents seeking to stop the smuggling of narcotics, but the Border Patrol counted that at least 228 of these types of incursions were conducted in 2010 and this year so far 71, with 30 of these in the Imperial Valley.

It should be mentioned that the Mexican Army has managed to catch five such aircraft in Mexicali, one because crashed in the Mexicali Valley.

HIDALGO State Governor received letter from police explaining they do not have the tools to do the job asked of them. (Note: In many areas, especially rural or remote locales, the police often don’t even have a handgun or ammunition for one if they do. Even more often, they do not have ballistic vests or helmets, a necessity when dealing with the level of fire power the cartels use daily. Often those officers closer to the U.S. border may be the beneficiaries of nearby American departments who donate older vests and other tactical equipment and items.)
