Directing Traffic At The Border

Oh Mr. Fox, you seem to have a police problem on top of your crime problem or are they the same? Should we all feel warm and fuzzy about our southern neighbors helping to watch the border? What are they watching for, easier access?

I'm getting really tired of asking when is our government going to act?


Federal authorities Monday charged a police officer from San Luis Rio Colorado, Son., with attempting to smuggle an illegal alien into the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona.

The Mexican transit police officer, Ramon Chavez-Rodrigues, 31, was charged with encouraging an illegal alien to come to the United States. If convicted, the officer faces a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine or both.

When questioned by Customs and Border Protection authorities, Chavez-Rodriguez admitted that he was going to be paid $300 for assisting Maria Valladolid-Chavez to enter the United States illegally by using his unmarked police vehicle last week to drive her across the border.
