Rita Crosby Interviews Raj about Border Security.
Here’s part of a “take-down” from the Ft. Worth Star Telegram:
“…But any Texan knows that we can go down and fish or wade freely from parks and private ranches along the Rio Grande, with or without an elephant.
We want most of the river kept that way, although a few crossings could use better Border Patrol roads or a mile or two of fence…” (hmmm … maybe the reporter should ask the owners of the private ranches to see who keeps it that way and who doesn’t– FB)
Apparently, the owner of the elephant ran into trouble five miles away:
That’s what happened the moment Plunkett and his trailer hit the Border Patrol checkpoint, five miles from the ranch. If Bhakta wanted to prove how easy it is to sneak an elephant into the country, he wound up proving that the Border Patrol is on the job.
“It was amazing to me how many officers showed up when we hit the checkpoint,” Plunkett said. “They had two guys, then four guys, then 50 guys in a matter of minutes. They gave us a thorough workover. I came away very impressed with the Border Patrol.”
That was good news to Roy Cervantes, spokesman for the patrol’s Valley headquarters in Edinburg. Officers there catch about 300 border crossers a day, half not from Mexico.
“It’s apparent to me that [Bhakta] has no idea what we do down here on the southern border,” Cervantes said…
With all due respect, sir, most of us have no idea what you do down on the border, either.
Of course, the elephant and the mariachi band is a campaign stunt and a successful one. But I do agree with Bhakta. “…”If I can get an elephant led by a mariachi band into this country, I think Osama bin Laden could get across with all the weapons of mass destruction he could get into this country …”
