A rare look inside the Gulf Cartel and the everyday brutality of its enforcers has appeared in the Dallas Morning News ["Video offers brutal glimpse of drug cartel"].

It’s a drug-guy snuff film, with plenty of black plastic garbage bags to contain the mess and tote out the debris. There is little doubt about the video’s authenticity, given the ending.

Asked how credible the video is, another law enforcement investigator said: “Credible 100 percent. A guy gets his brains blown. You can’t make that [expletive] up.”

The three other men shown initially are assumed to have received the same treatment. Authorities on both sides of the border have not determined where the shootings took place or who the victims are, other than perhaps some Zeta thugs who lost their enthusiasm for gangstering.

Much of this drug gang intramural activity is to determine which Mexicans will control the gateway to the American illegal substance market, now worth about $30 billion/year.

In the American interior, the Zetas have set up shop in Dallas and elsewhere, where they are doing drug business and all that goes with it ["U.S. officials say Zetas have killed in Texas"].

“We’re seeing an alarming number of incidents involving the same type of violence that’s become all too common in Mexico, right here in Dallas,” said the former Dallas narcotics officer. “We’re seeing execution style murders, burned bodies and outright mayhem. It’s like the battles being waged in Mexico for turf have reached Dallas.”

It sounds like the Mexican-Dixon line is moving north, along with plenty of diversity for all.

Linda Chavez’s latest column evokes the Berlin Wall and the Cold War:

Mass deportations won’t — and shouldn’t — happen. The legal, moral and practical obstacles to rounding up and deporting millions of illegal aliens and their U.S.-citizen children are insurmountable. Nor is it feasible to station enough agents along the border or build a barrier long and high enough to keep out everyone. I once stood at the border between East and West Germany with its barbed wire, mines, and sentry posts with soldiers aiming high-powered rifles. Is that really the America we want to create?Townhall.com:Looking for immigration solutions by Linda Chavez

The point of the Berlin Wall was that it was supposed to prevent East Germans, under Russian occupation, from escaping to West Germany, where they had every right to go.

But there was also a huge NATO force, if you recall, including Americans and West Germans, who spent years patrolling up and down to prevent a threatened invasion. By Russians, who had no right to go there, and could be expected to behave badly if they did.

Instead of a Berlin Wall, I suggest calling it the Great Wall Of America. Could be something of a tourist attraction.
