While President Bush and US Senators continue to fiddle with their open borders amnesty policy, also known as the “Immigration Reform” bill, the US military is warning its personnel and civilian employees not to enter Mexican border towns. Chillingly, this warning also includes US towns located along our southern border.
WASHINGTON – Mexican drug cartels operating in cities in the U.S. are buying up legitimate businesses to launder money and using some of the proceeds to win local mayoral and city council seats for politicians who can shape the policies and personnel decisions of their police forces, according to Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., who has led the fight to secure the U.S.-Mexico border and enforce the nation's immigration laws.
In his new book, "In Mortal Danger: The Battle for America's Border and Security," Tancredo exposes what he has learned from meetings with law enforcement authorities regarding a concerted effort by the Mexican mafia and drug cartels to extend their corruptive influence in urban areas dominated by illegal alien populations.

I saw an article about this about three or four days ago, although i wasn't sure that there was any truth to it. The article was describing this ongoing war which is even spilling into U.S. territory.
This is one of those issues that i disagree with the current administration with.
Our borders should not be open to Mexico, more so when we know these wars by drug cartels and thugs are going on down there.

FAIR’s own research has confirmed the connection between high immigration and income inequality. Our 1996 report What is the Relationship Between Income Inequality and Immigration? found that in the metropolitan areas with large immigrant populations, the disparity between the rich and the poor was much greater than in less immigrant-heavy areas. This holds true whether you define the middle class with a narrow or a broad range of incomes.
The proposal would require that thousands more Border Patrol agents be hired and hundreds of miles of fencing along the frontier with Mexico be erected. After the government made progress in meeting those goals, in theory as soon as 18 months, the legislation would introduce a guest-worker program, allowing some immigrants into the country temporarily. And it would provide the 12 million illlegal immigrants a chance to earn legal status if they have jobs, pass a criminal background check and pay a fine, and eventually gain even permanent residency if they pay a steeper penalty, learn English and return home first.

I think the CIA has a lot of involvement in the Drug trade and think it would be detrimental if we closed the borders as it would cut of some of its dirty money for there dirty black ops programs.
I think the CIA was loosing money as the Mexican drug cartels became more powerful and just started taking over.
