I was in one of their towns about a week ago, eating at their restaurant and using one of their hospitals (since it is superior to my own local one). My green eyed, blond haired, gringo self was quite comfortable with them and their extremely cordial behavior.

You say you don't have a horse in this race but you obviously do. You are hell bent on the idea that they alone are destroying this country. They are just taking what is given to them, hard to fault them for it. Our citizens did the same thing leading up to the 2008 crash, but we blame the banks not the people right?
While it may not be the average people of america's fault for mexico, it sure as heck is the USA's fault for what is going on and why it wont change. The USA won't allow it to change.

That big statue in NY would disagree that we owe then nothing btw, or is that just one of the american foundations that gets ignored nowadays?

I'm not racist against Mexicans. I love Mexican culture and whatnot. I have a problem with illegal invaders who think that they'll do as they please, and who think that, I, an American, owe them something. No American owes them a damn thing. The CIA is not by or for the American people. It's a perverted secret society who drains tax payer funds for their causes. It's not Americas fault that they can't get things going like we did. They want to steal our pie! Not just a slice, the whole pie. Not going to happen.
After Mexican President Pena Nieto was elected in 2012, he reportedly implemented a “pause” on the Merida initiative, suspending U.S.-funded training programs, cooperative working groups, and other joint initiatives.But a spokeswoman for the Mexican Consulate in Washington,said not only has Merida not been suspended, it is working as intended

We don't owe nobody nothing.....except for China. Calling illegal invaders "refugees" is very troubling. We fought for what we got. They have a country and need to fight for theirs. Why should we give them ours???
I'd like to see many militias at the border. I'd like to see many militias in D.C. and every state capitol. Militias are the only hope for civilians. Time for communities to come together and this is the way.
The allegation that guns were part of a deal between the U.S. and the Sinaloa traffickers has been suggested before. The Blaze reported on this back in August of 2012—
“Zambada-Niebla claims that under a “divide and conquer” strategy, the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa Cartel through Operation Fast and Furious in exchange for information that allowed the DEA, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to take down rival drug cartels. The Sinaloa Cartel was allegedly permitted to traffic massive amounts of drugs across the U.S. border from 2004 to 2009 — during both Fast and Furious and Bush-era gunrunning operations — as long as the intel kept coming.”
If true–and the well researched El Universal report certainly gives credence to The Blaze’s earlier reporting—it may be that Operation Fast and Furious was not about a strategy to release guns into Mexico so they could be tracked to drug traffickers, but rather all about using the weapons—as part of the deal with the Sinaloa cartel—to kill soldiers of drug traffickers we wanted off the streets and out of business.
The Mexican investigation follows decades of explosive revelations and accusations, many documented by The New American, suggesting that Washington, D.C., plays a crucial role in facilitating the international drug trade. In fact, more than a few officials, drug lords, and analysts have even said that the CIA and other secretive U.S. and foreign agencies actually run the global trade in narcotics, laundering the profits, and more. The DEA was even investigated by Congress last year for helping to launder drug money, while the ATF was exposed supplying U.S. weapons to Mexican cartels. ICE has reportedly been allowing cartel hit men into the United States to murder. So far, none of the high-ranking officials responsible for the lawlessness have truly been held accountable.
