I’ve done several pieces lately on the escalating violence just across our southern border and I’ve said repeatedly that the armed gangs will be coming this way if we don’t do something to make our border more secure.

According to this report we don’t have to wait any longer:

A top member of a Phoenix police union is standing by reports that at least one of the men involved in a Monday morning home invasion and homicide was an active member in the Mexican Army.

“Even if you put aside the Mexican military, you have illegals in the country...they’re protected with tactical gear using tactical strategies in police uniforms willing to ambush police officers.  I think that’s bad enough,” said Mark Spencer, President of the Phoenix Police Enforcement Association.

While on the J.D. Hayworth show Tuesday, Mark Spencer announced that the suspects were hired by drug cartels to perform home invasions and murders.

The incident at 8329 W. Cypress St. resulted in the death of the homeowner.  Between 50 and 100 rounds were fired at the house.

Spencer said a police officer told him that one of the men captured said they were completely prepared to ambush Phoenix police, but ran out of ammunition.

He added that all were all dressed in military tactical gear and were armed with AR-15 assault rifles.  Three other men involved in the invasion escaped.

If this is true, and I emphasize “if”, then this problem just took a dramatic turn for the worse.

Whether these guys were military or not, they were willing and able to ambush the reponding police officers. An update at the link is an audio attesting to that fact.

But...let’s not secure that border, m’kay? It’s just not the politically correct thing to do.

Will it take the deaths of some of our responding police officers to get our politicians off of their PC behinds to get this done?
