There are now over 7,000 potential illegals camped out within 10 miles of our Mexican border, just outside of Tijuana. They are living in squalid conditions, infested with insects, wet cold, and growing health issues. They have no vocations, nothing to keep them occupied and no real hope for their futures.
This is a recipe for unrest and violence. When and how it will erupt is anybody's guess. But, every hour of every day that it festers, the probability of bloodshed grows. They've marched hundreds, if not thousands, of miles toward what they thought was going to be a guaranteed better life in the United States, because that is what they were told. Now, however, they've discovered that the promises were empty and they've come to realize that the only way back is the hard road they've already traveled.
There's not been a whole lot of news coming from the border in the last few days and what news has seeped out has been buried with other events of the day... the death of President Bush, the Russia-Ukraine confrontation, etc. But you can bet that when this pressure cooker explodes, we are going to have our hands full.
The Democrats should be proud at the mess they've created.
