Am I the only one who finds it disgraceful that bandits are terrorizing our border with Mexico? Illegal immigrants pouring over the border are bad enough, but armed bandits kidnapping and killing people is simply outrageous.

Three illegal immigrants were shot dead and two more were wounded after falling prey to suspected bandits as they crossed into the United States from Mexico, police said. ...

Ogden told AFP police were working on the theory that the group had been ambushed by bandits lying in wait for them as they crossed the border.

"We're looking at the possibility of bandits," Ogden said. "They are normally armed, and stop vehicles that are being used for human trafficking. "Sometimes they take the vehicle -- and a lot times immigrants can be taken to another area and (bandits) will call family members in Mexico, and hold them for ransom."

Sounds more like some third-world war zone than America. The federal government needs to get a handle on the violence and lawlessness on the border now.
