This is a Joke, Right?

"This is a Joke, Right.
I mean, it has to be....
As violent drug cartels take over Mexico and expand their criminal enterprises north, the United States has signed a “trusted traveler” agreement that allows pre-screened Mexican airline passengers to bypass lengthy airport security checkpoints.
So some 84 million (ed: This may be thousands, as there is some dispute over translation - but if it's even ONE, the point still stands) Mexicans get to bypass "lengthy" airport security checkpoints (you mean, like being groped or virtually strip-searched with an X-ray machine?) while American Citizens who are willing to travel using something like, oh, a US Passport (which many of us have) are not afforded the same deference?
Never mind that the last two terrorist incidents that were attempted on airplanes (Mr. Shoe Bomber and Mr. Burns-off-his-Nuts) both boarded flights outside the United States headed inbound.
That is, not in the United States, not leaving the United States, but rather in a foreign land headed into The United States.
Yeah, that makes sense Big Sis. So does this:
While Napolitano was in Mexico finalizing the trusted traveler agreement this week, she also took the opportunity to sign a “letter of intent” to develop a plan for protecting immigrants from criminal attacks as they cross the border—illegally—into the U.S. Mexican officials have long complained that American law enforcement officers stand by as illegal immigrants are robbed, killed or violently beaten. Napolitano has committed to reducing the risk to life and security of migrants, according to the Mexican minister.
How about this: Shut the damn border down to illegal crossings?
While robbing, beating or killing an illegal migrant cannot be condoned one wonders who's doing the robbing, beating or killing? Perhaps it's the coyote (the Mexican, mostly) who is running these people illegally across the border? Yeah, that would make some sense, as those are the people who arguably have both motive and opportunity - especially if they didn't get "paid in full" as "agreed" for their unlawful trafficking in those people, right?
Rather than protect American Citizens and America from an invasion by those crossing the border illegally (and that's exactly what it is - an invasion) "Big Sis" instead commits acts of aggression against the citizens of this nation.
Oath of Office eh? Swore to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, did 'ya?
Hmmmm...
(What's the definition of Treason again?)"
