Another Reason Why Terrorists Do Not Use Mexico to Attack the US
I am often asked why is it that I do not believe that radical Islamic terrorists can use México as a gateway to attack the United States.

The Soviet Assassin in Mexico

The Reason Why El Paso Is Not a Sanctuary City
With all the political grandstanding from El Paso’s politicians, it is a wonder that El Paso is not a sanctuary city. El Paso, one of the last Democrat Party strongholds in the state and a city fully dependent on Mexican commerce and Pesos, has never been a sanctuary city, and, worse it is not immigrant […]
