El pasado es siempre dar las gracias . Entre la primera opción es un siervo .
Mi hijo es actualmente un “empresario “. Es precisamente lo que llama cuando usted no posee el empleo.

BOLETIN DE PRENSA
Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila de Zaragoza; 24 de Febrero del 2012.

ANALIZAN VULNERABILIDADES DE LAS FRONTERAS CON MIRAS A INTEGRAR EL PLAN DE CONTINGENCIA ENTRE FRONTERAS HERMANAS
La tarde del jueves 23 de febrero, en reunión de representantes de autoridades locales de Eagle Pass y Del Río, Texas; Piedras Negras y Acuña, Coahuila; sentaron las bases para trabajar en la integración del Plan de Contingencias entre Fronteras de Ciudades Hermanas.
En instalaciones de la Comisión Internacional de Límites y Aguas (CILA) de la Presa Internacional de la Amistad, autoridades de aduana, de la CILA, Protección Civil y del Departamento de Bomberos de las cuatro ciudades fronterizas; de la Comisión de Cooperación Ecológica Fronteriza (COCEF) y de la Asociación Civil Río Grande, analizaron diferentes escenarios de eventualidades o emergencias.
Asistieron, entre otros, el director de protección civil, Jorge Vázquez Reveles; el director de salud, Juan Humberto Cantú García; el titular de ecología, José Caleb Rodríguez Torres; el representante de CILA, Roberto Enríquez; de la COCEF, Alfonso Martínez y de la organización Río Grande Institute, Bill Skeen.
Las posibles emergencias de cada ciudad, escenarios, afectación, vulnerabilidades, puntos de riesgo y otros elementos fueron analizados en este encuentro.
Determinándose que el plan existente no obedece a las actuales condiciones y necesidades, por ello la prioridad de elaborar un nuevo Plan de Contingencias entre Fronteras de Ciudades Hermanas.
También por acuerdo de los asistentes, serán integrados a este grupo representes de la Comisión Nacional del Agua (CNA) y de la Asociación de Maquiladoras, ésta última por el manejo diario de productos peligrosos.
Acordaron celebrar un nuevo encuentro a mediados de marzo de este año, cuyo día, sede y hora será definida próximamente, para trabajar sobre la elaboración de esta herramienta, de trascendencia para prevenir contingencias y/o afrontar de la mejor manera las eventualidades que se pudiesen generar en las cuatro ciudades hermanas.

(We had hired drivers to take our vehicles to the Dryden Crossing.) It was a great trip back in the early 1990′s. On our last trip we put in down stream of the bridge because the Mexican government had put a radio tower in the middle of the road that lead upstream.

Yes on foot… how do you think they get to the middle of nowhere? On foot? the transport is done by car/truck/mule to the “border” then you think it walks its way all the way into the interior hubs? I won’t even discuss volume…
2. No war on drugs? Soooo the 20k+ mexicans dead and the money thrown at the problem is not a “war” Is it a movement? Towards?
3. My suggestions have already been done and enforced in South America. Do your research, know your history before say “foolish”. Another prime example look at our current two war fronts. How do you think our troops weed out terrorists? Knowledge is power brotha…

That is a flat out lie. Anything that comes through that area is on foot. Not trucks.
2. There is no war on drugs. There never was.
3. Your suggestions are completely foolish.

Has been more so than other actual border crossings. Why? Because of its remote location. So your fooling yourself in thinking that in not opening the bridge will keep things “safe” in the area. If anything opening the bridge we bring in more federal funds to protect the area from a already rampant entry of drugs and immigrants. This is very common knowledge from the other side. Sooo opening the bridge will only bring more federal enforcement not bring in more drugs or illegals into the country. But if anyone is really reading this… And truly wants to crack down on drugs and immigration… its pretty simple… bring in the drone planes… bring in the blackhawk paramilitary repelling Homeland security troops who can repel from the helicopter and stop illegal entry or drug entry. If this is truly a “war” on drugs and immigration this is what it takes. For the Mexican government its not hard. They need to follow Columbia’s tactics. Establish paramilitary US trained block groups of 50 men squads living on military bases on each border city and squeezing out the “bad people” through US intel, and by the MEXICAN people telling the government where the “bad things” are going on. Now this is a true resolution to a bad problem but it will get much worse before it gets better. But if its truly a “war” then this must be done. Your comments are welcome….
