Obama’s refusal to secure our borders and come to grips with the drug wars in Mexico is continuing to have deadly effects.
Special Agents Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila Jr were assigned to protect the US Embassy in Mexico City. On Tuesday, they were driving down Mexican Highway 57 in a bullet proof Chevy Suburban with diplomatic plates. Two SUVs filled with Cartel members ambushed them and forced them off the road. They showed their diplomatic papers, but this did not help them.
The cartel thugs shot indiscriminately through the crack in the window, hitting Zapata several times in the abdomen and Avila twice in the leg. Zapata was killed. Mexican police recovered 83 bullet casing. These brave agents were made defenseless because the Mexican government will not allow American law enforcement officers to bring their guns in Mexico even when they are simply travelling to the embassy.
