Two Sides of a Border: One Violent, One Peaceful
By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr.

EL PASO — Every day, as she gets off a bus in Mexico and crosses the border to go to work in downtown El Paso, Edith Escobedo says she feels a sense of relief. For at least the next eight hours, she says to herself, she is safe from the violence ripping apart Ciudad Juárez.

“One lives with fear over there,â€

Then, on Dec. 3, Ms. Granados agreed to give a lift across the border to her boss, Jesús MartÃ*n Huerta Hiedra, the deputy prosecutor in the office, because she had a special pass for crossing one of the international bridges and he wanted to visit Wal-Mart. Gunmen caught them at a street corner at about 4:15 p.m. and pumped 85 rounds into the car.

And who wants to go to Mexico? And who wants these immigrants, here? Wal-Mart has the money let them fix the Mexico problems. How much money did our government give to Wal-Mart to go to Mexico?

Stories like this are so sickening. It's like Hell is just on the other side of the border. Tell Harry Reid we must never have open borders again.

This is just a story put out there to try and garner sympathy for Mexicans and warm us all up for the eventual surge of "MEXICAN REFUGEES FLEEING INTO THE UNITED STATES To ESCAPE THE DRUG CARTELS' VIOLENCE!"

They're just playing on everyone's sympathies to open the floodgates. It's ALL in the PLAN that Bush started in motion. So get ready for it. Can you say "Mexican Refugees?"

Instead of running away from Mexico, the Mexican people need to be armed and TAKE THEIR OWN COUNTRY BACK! They need to demand the right to bear arms from Calderon...NOW! The government can't protect them so they should be able to protect themselves.

I hope Americans are watching closely to what happens in a country where the PEOPLE are unarmed!!
