Are You Ready For War? Words from a Border Patrol Agent

The other day, I sent an email to a friend of mine that is a Border Patrol Agent (7 years on the job) on the Arizona border. I had heard it is getting pretty bad and I wanted some reliable information to make sure he was safe. I also asked him about Obama's proposed ban on assault rifles. What follows is his response:
"Appreciate the email Dave. Let me state very clearly for all the viewers out there a quick synopsis of the US/Mexico border. It is a warzone. The government of Mexico is no friend in this war. We just took down an Arellano-Felix cartel enforcer heavy the other day. Cartel members are slowly slithering their way into the US. What I've seen of illegal immigrants in my seven years could be summed up like this: they have no love for the US, just the US dollar. Gangbangers and general malcontents with pre-existing US felony records make up roughly 60% of what's flowing across. Even the non criminal-minded manage to rack up DUIs and domestic violence records. Upstanding and decent human beings free of any criminal record make up maybe 10-20% of the flow. The mantra of the entire nation and therefore, its citizenry abroad seems to be this: What can I get for myself? How much can I get away with? One moment while I step off my soapbox. The weapon of choice for cartel enforcers is the AK-47. This is an "assault weapon" easily available in the US. However, cartels are now arming themselves with frag grenades, RPGs, M-60s, .50cal machine guns, and .50cal barrett rifles. Those are most likely hemorrhaged from corrupt Mexican military units. It should be noted that about 90% of Mexico's dope goes to the US and about 90% of Mexico's illegal firearms come from the US. The problem with a law imposing a ban is it only affects those trying to follow the law."

Most Americans are rather immune to war. There has been no military action on CONUS soil (Continental United States - excluding Alaska and Hawaii) since the Indian wars of 1865-1870. At least, as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong. Are you prepared for war? Because, as we see it, armed combat action on U.S. soil in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and California is IMMINENT.
I don't post this to scare anyone, but if you have family members in areas near the border, as I do, you need to warn them about the elements coming across the border. These people will not hesitate to cut their throat, and they are now heavily armed - far more stocked with weaponry than anyone in the U.S. government is willing to concede. Your hunting rifles and handguns are no match for military grade weaponry, although that is certainly better than being unarmed. (Unless you're a former Marine, in which your bare hands should suffice.)
If you think the atmosphere for investing is bad right now, just imagine what it will be like when bankrupt state governments are trying to fight a decentralized and heavily armed military force invading our southern border while a bankrupt federal government continues to fight wars overseas.
