America’s porous southern border and the recent surge in illegal immigration is more than just a “humanitarian crisis,” claims the top U.S. general in charge of Central and South America, it’s a threat to the United States’ very existence.
Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly is commander of the U.S. Southern Command, or SOUTHCOM, charged with responsibility for the Caribbean Sea and all lands south of Mexico.
Particularly in regards to the drug trade, murder rates and terrorist activity brewing in Central America, Kelly says, the waves of Latin Americans sweeping through Mexico and illegally into Texas presents a threat to the U.S. every bit as serious as Iran or North Korea.
“In comparison to other global threats, the near collapse of societies in [this] hemisphere with the associated drug and [illegal immigrant] flow are frequently viewed to be of low importance,” Kelly said in an interview with Defense One. “Many argue these threats are not existential and do not challenge our national security. I disagree.”

ReplyDeleteYup, he's treading on thin ice with the commie commander-in-chief.
DeleteThat might not be bad for America. We can certainly use this man's skill set when we need it the most.
ReplyDeleteThere are more than a few disgruntled generals, that's for sure.
DeleteMy mentor, a retired flag officer, who had served on the staff of D. MacArthur in WW-2(and a staunch Democrat) told me four years ago ;before he died "This fool in the white house will instigate a civil war ether by design or by accident. This man is a communist and a damn fool. G_D help the American people if our Officer Corp no longer has the ability or will to support the people" If he were still alive I'd call and tell him "rest easy sir , they still can and do"--Ray
ReplyDeleteThis man is a communist
DeleteThe best reply I ever heard to the "I didn't know" crap was "anyone who had spent 30 minutes on a library computer would have known full well what he was all about". Pathetic, public.
