The mission objectives are:

To detect and interdict persons conducting illegal weapons, human, and narcotic trafficking from Mexico into the United States.

Detection and interdiction will be conducted by ground and air assets.

    I wrote the Az. of Govenor, suggested her border problem is simple to take care of: the solution is cheaper and would be affective. Her Air Natioal Guard needs flight time a requirement, load the illegals on the transport planes and send them to the U.S. Capital. How long do you think it would take to close the borders?

    Using the ARMED Nat’l Gaurd aircraft on the border with ‘shoot on sight’ orders would curtail activity there REAL QUICK and allow the pilots to get their flight time in! Effiecent use of time and fuel.

    I hope NM steps up to the plate. They have been as bad, if not worse than Kalifornika in making the border a sieve

Why do you think the drug cartels are more violent in Mexico than the U.S.A.
