Fortunately, President Obama’s level of diplomatic skills and his understanding of international issues is on a par with the President of Mexico\’s, so his recent talks with President Calderon bore great fruit.

Both agree that arming our ICE agents who are called into Mexico by Mexican officials to help them in their drug investigations is a very bad idea:

It would jeopardize those Mexican officials who are prosecuting their duties rigorously and fairly except for occasionally being on the take. Accepting a little cash now and then is a hallowed tradition throughout Mexican law enforcement. It helps to balance the exceedingly poor pay of most Mexican civil servants.

If our ICE officers were armed, they might try to interdict some of these casual transactions with who-knows-what effect on Interservice Cooperation, not to mention the matter of discouraging outside “benefactors” who do so much toward putting those HDTVs in a Mexican cop’s living room.

Most of our peace officers share a regrettably narrow view of the importance of public relations, feeling it\’s better to get their job done than stroke a bunch of pols. Then there\’s the fact that ICE officers signed on for the danger in the first place, so their foremost duty is to the safety of Mexican citizens, not their own. And, really, it’s just a lot more congenial for Washington DHS officials to explain away a few US deaths than to try to justify the killing or wounding of a Mexican national by our loaned police.

Additionally, Obama and Calderon crafted an agreement to let Mexican trucks loose on American roads. Our stanch friends, the American Labor Unions, are going to be a little grumpy about it for awhile. But even though Mexican drivers make about three bucks an hour, there’s always some maintenance on the trucks. Usually.

Moreover, an accident involving a Mexican driver will immediately become an international incident, thus giving additional scope to our government’s efforts to show how it’s protecting and caring for our citizens by using their tax money to supply free lawyers to foreigners. Everyone should feel a glow of pride at our generosity.

And if that weren’t enough, the icing on the cake is President Obama’s deft combination of two pressing issues, solving both with a single masterly stroke! We’re all concerned about the situation on our southern border and the unfeeling, selfish border states strewing legal obstacles in the path of simple Mexican people yearning to breathe free merely because our citizens are being murdered and terrorized in their own homes.

We worry for their safety…the safety of the Mexicans, of course. It\’s bad enough they have to pay large amounts of hard-earned money to a coyote to get them to the border, only to have to run a gauntlet of unfeeling American border guards when they finally get there.

Of course, the Hesbollah mules carrying fission material up north for the atomic bombs being assembled in the US have lots of money, so they’ll be ok.

As my current book, No More Time for Sorrow describes, smuggling atomic warheads into the US across the sieve commonly referred to as our southern border is child’s play and is occurring as we speak. But now, thanks to President Obama’s adroit diplomacy, this dangerous and expensive pathway will permanently be closed!

We’ll be able to stand down our border patrols and those southern states that try to usurp federal authority just won’t be in the spotlight anymore. This cannot fail to have a good effect on our administration’s reputation for caring about US citizens and sharing their wealth with deserving Mexicans.

In a masterful diplomatic maneuver reminiscent of Kissinger at his most skillful, President Obama has made it possible for these Mexicans to be trucked in! And by their own drivers!

Moreover, this will doubly defuse our border problems because now illegals – excuse me, undocumented immigrants – can be shipped all over the country to appear anywhere and everywhere, thus removing the pressure from those selfish border state governments who simply don’t understand the Open Borders concept.

No longer will the choke point be Arizona and New Mexico. And won’t it be exciting for our Northern states to start getting four buck an hour cleaning services with only the occasional additional rape and murder of a six-year-old girl here and there?

Yes, we’re truly blessed by a President who thinks internationally.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Dr. Robert Beeman, author of No More Time For Sorrow, a novel about the next 9/11 scale attack on the Homeland, this time with atom bombs.

A member of Species Homo Sapiens, Genus WASP-MOFUB: White Anglo Saxon Protestant Male – Old Fat Ugly and Badtempered, holds several advanced degrees a tractor-trailer license certified for HAZMAT, nuclear warheads, live ammunition, and dead irradiated monkeys, has logged a quarter-million miles on motorcycles and flies as a private pilot about whose skill there are opinions.

He lives on eighty acres behind a half-mile driveway with a herd of deer, six motorcycles, the occasional bear, three tuxedos one of which almost still fits, an English car that is British revenge for the Battle of Trenton from the people who gave us Stonehenge, a 1500-volume library, six computers occasionally networked, a depressingly ordinary wine cellar, and Ernie The Rabbit who lives under the deck and has so far eluded the mating pair of redtail hawks that works his valley.

He cuts firewood, paddles a canoe, vacuums rugs, builds buildings, reads The Bible, attend concerts (Mozart, The Stones), wages a losing battle with his reading backlog, writes technical articles that bore even him, programs computers, does laundry and takes from the grill a meatlike substance that guests occasionally eat. He believes all learning is learning and all data are data.

Widowed due to cancer five years ago after thirty great years, his current search for a friend, a companion, a partner in adventure, and most assuredly an eager, ardent lover has produced offers of a degree in neurosurgery from the University of Nairobi for four hundred dollars, and for ninety-nine ninety-five a simple home-surgical procedure to enlarge his penis.

He believes America is the hope of the world, that the citizens who stand in her defense are the hope of America, and about that he does not joke.
