SCHOOLS, WAR AND BORDER CONTROL

I see where South San Antonio ISD school officials and parents are shocked again. This time it's over the arrest of an elementary school principal charged with molesting a 13-year-old male student.

According to a front page story in the Jan. 30, 2008 issue of the Express-News Michael Alcoser, 41, the principal of Carrillo Elementary School was charged with aggravated sexual assault and jailed on a $75,000 bond. Alcoser has worked as a teacher, vice principal and principal in the school district since 1989.
"Mr. Alcoser is 'home grown,' " school officials told Express-News. "He graduated from South San High and rose through the ranks."
Sounds like he rose through the ranks with something other than education on his mind. According to police reports Alcoser has been molesting the boy for the past three years. "In these cases, historically, we are never done with one victim. Odds are good there may be more victims," said SAPD Sgt. Gabe Trevino.

"We're shocked by the allegations. We're cooperating in every way, and have been cooperating, with the police. Now we just have to let the legal system take it's course," said Ed Suarez, a South San ISD spokesman. Why were they shocked. If the charges against Alcoser are proven, and my best guess is that they will be, he is a homosexual who likes to prey on little boys. School officials said a criminal background check at the time he was hired and another check two years ago, raised no "red flags." So what. He had never been caught before. You can't tell me that for the past 20 years no one in the school district didn't know, or at least suspect, Alcoser was a homosexual and the schools were his playground.

America's public schools have become havens for perverts. Anti-America, anti-military, anti-religion types are manning the classrooms and running our schools in ever increasing numbers. Is it any wonder that many of our public schools are a public disgrace where many high school graduates can barely read and write. Where kids are on drugs, shooting one another, and others are victims of sexual assaults by teachers and staff. Where having a bible or saying a prayer is against the law.

It didn't used to be that way and kids got a decent education. Not anymore. Of course anyone who speaks out against homosexuals in our public schools is a "homophobe" and anyone who dares question the character or integrity of teachers and school officials is accused of fomenting "hate speech."

American kids are being held hostage to a public school system that's out of touch with the American dream and the moral, religious and family values that made our country great. In Nazi Germany one of the first things Hitler did when he came to power was to takeover the teaching of children so that the government would define what was right and wrong. Parents were cut out of the system. Children were taught to "spy" on their parents. Sound familiar. Wake up America. It's time to take back our public schools from the liberal, socialist, politically correct bureaucrats. Abolishing the federal Dept. of Education would be a good start. For what it's worth - Rep. Ron Paul, R-Tex., agrees with me.

Well, what do you know?

US Attorney Johnny Sutton has finally stopped harassing and prosecuting US Border Patrol officers and started prosecuting Texas/Mexican Mafia thugs.

34 gang members were rounded up and charged with racketeering and a host of other charges including murder. The fact that many of those charged were already jailed shows what a mess state prisons are in.

When inmates can organize and operate Mafia activities from their prison cells security is seriously lacking. Unfortunately, in many of our prison facilities the inmates are practically running the place. Hardly a day passes that corrections officers and guards aren't involved in drugs, bribes and escapes. Many of these inmates will eventually wind up in federal maximum security prisons that will prevent them from organizing and directing criminal operations from their cells.

Security in most of these federal facilities is tight. While the defendants face maximum life sentences Sutton said,"There's a possibility some are facing the death penalty." The world would be a better place if all of these scumbags were lined up against a wall and shot. The FBI was the lead agency in this latest probe that started in 2004 and involved local, state and other federal law enforcement agencies. A few years ago the senior FBI official in the area remarked that, "this is one of the most corrupt places I have ever seen."

He was right. Look at all the sheriffs, judges, police officers, corrections officers, and other local and state government officials and bureaucrats who have wound up in prison. Then you consider all the gangs running around killing, beating, robbing, pushing drugs and rasing hell and you've got a really big problem. And that doesn't include illegal immigration and the crime and corruption across the border. I have noticed that it usually takes the FBI to step in and take charge before there's a successful investigation leading to the arrest, prosecution and prison for the bad guys, especially the Mafia types.

A pat on the back to the combined law enforcement task force that put a crimp in the prison gang. Unfortunately, for every bad guy put out of circulation there's another hundred waiting to take his place. Without the insatiable demand for illegal drugs there would be no drug runners and far less gangs. America is awash in illegal drugs. Drugs are in our schools and colleges, small towns and big cities, prisons, every level of government and most businesses large and small. Hollywood is known as "dope city" and drug use is rampant among professional sports figures. Drug rehab is the fastest growing industry in the country. Kids, some as young as 5-years-old are smoking marijuana and trying "crack" for the first time. Until the "drug culture" changes Sutton and the FBI will be fighting a losing battle.

A sad commentary on America.

While US troops are slugging it out with terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan there's a big war going on just across the border in Mexico. In fact in many cases it has spilled over the border into the US. Encounters between armed Mexican drug runners and US Border Patrol officers are increasing.

Some of these clashes involve suspected Mexican military providing security for drug runners and "coyotes" smuggling illegal aliens. Since the start of the Iraq War in March, 2003 the US has suffered close to 4,000 troops killed. However, in Mexico the death toll in the ongoing "Mexican Drug War" has far exceeded the number killed in the Iraq War. According to Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Austin, 60 people were killed in Mexico border cities alone last month. This number doesn't take into account the death toll throughout the rest of the country.

"It's a war," said McCaul.

Mexico's President Felipe Calderon has vowed to crackdown on drug gangs and corrupt police operating along the Texas/Mexico border. Calderon sent 24,000 troops and police to the border. Unfortunately, it has had little effect on the ongoing violence along the Texas to California border. Clashes between rival drug gangs, police and the military continues to leave death and destruction in their wake. An unidentified resident in Reynosa, across the border from McAllen, Texas, summed it up well. "There is no law enforcement right now.

Just like always." Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, has been meeting with Mexican officials and says, "They need assistance, and we need to help them."

Cuellar's idea of assistance, which is typical of most liberal politicians, is pouring more tax payer's dollars down the Mexican rat hole. Congress is considering a $1.4 billion crime fighting package to assist Calderon in his "Drug War."

The editors of the Express-News also thinks it's a good idea for the US to "help its neighbors" and said so in a Jan. 24, 2008 editorial. "The Mexican government should not go it alone in its courageous war against the drug cartels," they say. I don't know what's so "courageous" about a bunch of scumbag drug runners and corrupt military/police shooting it out with one another. Odd that the Express-News editors never refer to the Iraq War as "courageous."

Why should we help Mexico in their war when they refused to support the US in the Iraq War? Instead of giving the totally corrupt, anti-American, Mexican government more money why not divert the $1.4 billion to securing the border?

Let them use their own money for a change. Why should we "bail" them out. Besides a significant amount of American dollars are flowing across the border from the 12-20 million illegal aliens (mostly Mexicans) in the US. In 2006 they sent $45 billion back to Mexico. The message that needs to be sent to Calderon is this: Until you clean up the corruption in your country and stop sending millions of your citizens, including drug runners and renegade military, across the border Uncle Sucker is cutting off all financial aid to Mexico. Comprende Presidente Calderon. I hope so. The US should back this up with military force. The next time a bunch of scumbag drug runners with their corrupt Mexican Army escorts crosses the border and runs into US Army main battle tanks, attack helicopters and well armed troops, they'll get the message.
